Sending Birthday Wishes - DD Color Challenge

Happy Saturday, everyone!   Hope everyone experiencing the heat wave is keeping cool.  It's time for another Divinity Designs Color Combo Challenge. This month we are using colors inspired by papers from the Shabby Pastels Paper Pad...Gorgeous!

I decided to use the Sending My Love Stamp/Die Duo for my sample.

Creative Nugget:  The new Chevron Background Die was used to cut papers from the Shabby Pastels and Shabby Rose paper collections.  Both of these paper pads are beautiful and the colors and patterns coordinate perfectly.  The chevrons were then pieced back into the frame to form the card front which was then mounted to a Scalloped Rectangle.  Circles were cut with coordinating papers using the Circles, Scalloped Circles and Pierced Circles Dies.  The Sentiment from the Sending My Love Stamp/Die Duo was popped onto the circle.  The new Sentiment Strip Dies are perfect for sentiments from all of the stamp/die duo sets.  I'm so glad the Pretty Posies Dies have been redesigned and added back to the store...they were used to make the flower embellishments for this card.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:

Just Us Girls Color Week #424 - Teal, Mustard, and Orange

Hello friends!  WOW!  I can hardly believe that this is already week three of my time at the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog. I had a lot of fun with the color challenge this week...you can never have too many birthday cards on hand!

Creative Nugget:  Almost all of the sentiments from the Sending My Love Stamp/Die Duo by Our Daily Bread Designs were white embossed on a piece of mixed media card stock.  The panel was sponged with Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks, spritzed with water, sprayed with Perfect Pearls for shimmer, and splattered with whit acrylic paint before cutting it with a Pierced Rectangle Die.  This panel was mounted on a layer of mustard card stock stamped and white embossed with the Chalkboard Lattice Background.  A circle cut with a Pierced Circle Die was sponged and added.  The Sending Die was cut three times and stacked before attaching two Balloons die cuts.  Pennant Flags were cut from the three different colors and layered onto the card.  The sentiment was white embossed on the teal banner to finish the card.

Hop on over to the Just Us Girls Challenge Blog to see all of the inspiration from the fantastic design team and come play along with us this week!

Thanks for stopping by and until next time...happy stamping!

My first sample was made using the Armor of God stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  One of the metallic papers from the Winter Collection was a perfect  background for the Armor of God card.  Frames were cut from silver card stock using the Majestic Medallions Dies, the Rectangle Dies, the Double Stitched Rectangle Dies, and the Pierced Ovals Dies.  The Armor of God image was colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut, and popped onto the left side of the card with mounting tape.  The silver embossed sentiments was cut with one of the Ovals Dies to finish the card.

My second card was made with the new Sending My Love Stamp & Die Duo.

Creative Nugget:   The stitched layers on the card were made using papers from the new Birthday Brights Paper Collection, Smokey Shadow and Neenah Solar Crest card stock.  Copic Markers were again used to color the Wishing Well.  A few clouds were sponged using one of the die cuts from the Clouds & Raindrops die set as a mask.  The Sending word die included in the Sending My Love Stamp & Duo set was cut once from the patterned paper and twice from white card stock as well as from the front of the Wishing Well panel.  These were all layered and pieced back into the cut made on the front of the card.  The sentiment was white embossed on a piece cut using the Log Cabin Quilt Die…**love using these pieces for small sentiments!  A Bitty Border was cut from the patterned paper to frame the sentiment, and a few butterflies cut using the new Bitty Butterflies Dies were added.  A white grid ribbon bow and some rhinestones were added to finish the card.
