Color Throwdown #514

Good Morning- Happy, Happy Wednesday!! Hope you're having a great day!! 

It's time for another set of colors at the Color Throwdown!! This week the colors were chosen by Amy Rohl!! 

This week we're playing with orange, brown, rust, and yellow.

Perfect for a simple fall themed card. I used the only leave stamps/dies that I have (what' s up with that??) from PTI and a sentiment from MFT.

Color Throwdown #511

Good Morning- Happy, Happy Wednesday!! Hope you're having a great day!! We survived Florence here is Charlotte.... the Hurricane party is over!! 

Now... all joking aside, there are many areas along the coast and somewhat inland that are still dealing with the flood waters (the most dangerous part of this hurricane) and many lives were lost. I am thankful that we just had a lot of rain, some trees down and power outages in areas of Charlotte but, still praying for all of those affected that have a "long haul" ahead!! Not only were there lives lost but, many with serious wind and flood damage to their homes and businesses- my heart goes out to them. 

On to other business...

It's time for another set of colors at the Color Throwdown!! This week the colors were chosen by Amy Rysavy!! 

 This week we are playing with Pale Pink, Peach, Berry Red,and Leaf Green! 

I pulled out some Neat and Tangled stamps for this card. Have been in my stash for a bit but, hadn't had the chance to get them inky!! Don't you just love that sentiment.... :-) 

Once you’ve finished your card or other paper-crafted project, add a direct link to your creation using the Inlinkz tool at the bottom of the Color Throwdown post.

Serendiity Stamps September Blog Hop- #2

It's time for the Serendipity Stamps Blog Hop! We're changing it up this year- there will be two hops each month as usual and there will be opportunities to win $ to purchase Serendipity Stamps. The design team will be showing you the latest products and offering a chance for you to win some goodies from Serendipity Stamps.

You should have arrived here from Marybeth Lopez blog but, if you got lost along the way I have a full list below. 

So, this time I played with the Boo Die which is the special this month. First I created a panel using alcohol inks in Halloween colors. Originally, when I cut out all those "Boo's" out, I was going to make a background using the positive of the die (seen below with my witch) but, I ended up saving all of the positive pieces and gluing them to the negative of the alcohol ink panel. Added a little patterned paper and some ribbon. 

For this card I used the Witch from the Halloween Pops Cling set. She was stamped and colored with copics. Again I added a little patterned paper and one of the positive Boo dies from the alcohol ink panel.
