TGIF Challenge #575 - Color Challenge






Who doesn’t love a good ol’ color challenge??? This one is so fun!

Check out the blog challenge here - TGIF Challenge Blog if you’d like to play along.







I thought about this card longer than it actually took me to make it!

Ya know what it’s like when you stare at stamps and paper and try to will them into crating themselves??? Yeah … this one took me a minute. 

The background was created using the little heart image from Capturing Smiles. I also created the Crumb Cake strip using just the small camera image.

I thought the longest/hardest about the actual camera … couldn’t decide how I wanted to use the colors from this challenge. I actually like how it turned out, though!


Stamps: Capturing Smiles
Paper: Basic White, Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake
Ink: Melon Mambo, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake, Versamark
Accessories: Capturing Smiles Dies, White Embossing Powder, Black Baker’s Twine, Low Profile Sparkle Dots (retired)

Two posts in one day??? What the heck is happening here??? I guess this is what happens when you actually clean your crafty space and make yourself some room to create!

We’d love to have you play along!! You can check us out our blog HERE and Instagram … lots of great inspiration from the rest of the TGIF Crew!

Ohmygosh! I FINALLY got to make some daffodils using the Easter Basket Dies … I want to make them in every color possible!! (To be honest, I have about a dozen more I made just like these that I can use on future creations … I just couldn’t stop!).

The embossed layer was created using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder, which I highlighted using a white gel pen.
