A LITTLE BIT OF PURPLE

MAKING THE GOAL!

This weekend was another online crop and my normal goals for a weekend crop are 4 layouts and 4 cards.  Yesterday I obviously made the layout goal (and some).  For today I needed to complete the cards.  I was getting tired by the third but wanted to make the goal so here we are!

My first card was for the Paper Secrets CYAO challenge.  I had to use the following sketch plus 3+ hexagons and wood.  The Colorful Creations Creative Card Challenge called for using 3 patterned papers so this card also meets the criteria for that challenge.


I cut my 3 hexagons and layered them on top of each other.  Then I took a wood piece of holly.  I colored it first with markers and then to subdue it I went over the top with some black ink which I also used to ink the edges of my hexagons and circles.  I added a rub on sentiment which reads Seasons Greetings.

Here is my first card:



My second card used sketch #197 from Unscripted Sketches and the color palette challenge #102 Red, Pink, Purple and/or White from Die-cuttin Divas.  For this card I started with some pink patterned paper.  Next I cut a strip of Coredinations red/white cardstock which I embossed and sanded.  I backed this with some red cardstock.  I added a small square of purple cardstock on which I put a charm that reads 'Follow Your Bliss'.

Card #3 used Color Palette #229 from Color Throwdown and Deconstructed Sketch #89 from Decontructing Jen.  I used scallops and lace for the Frilly Challenge at Delightful Challenges.  I started with a layer of sparkly brown cardstock.  I edged some olive patterned paper with a scallop punch.  I added some blush cardstock which I also edged with the scallop punch.  I added a square that had the colors and the sentiment Let It Snow which was on a brown sticker. The edges of everything were inked with brown ink.   Last I added some white snowflake lace.

My 4th and final creation for today used color palette #62 from Inspired By, and Pretty Patterns sketch number 82 from My Time Made Easy.  I added a butterfly which made it qualify for the "A" - Anything With Wings challenge from Alphabet Challenges, things with wings for Allsorts Challenges week #194, and Less Is More challenge #107 Up in the Air (things that fly).  I started this one with some yellow patterned paper, some yellow cardstock, grey herringbone patterned paper,  a white cardstock oval, some white gimp, and a yellow felt butterfly.

I hope you have enjoyed tonite's creations.  Thank you for stopping by and sweet dreams...I am off to bed!

MONDAY MONDAY

Today I have a tag and two cards to share with you.  We will start with the tag.  The tag was done for a challenge over at Dragon's Dream which calls for the color orange, leaves, metal and a real stamp.  I also entered it into the tag challenge over at Colorful Creations calling for a Halloween themed tag.  I started by embossing my tag and coloring it with Persimmon and Walnut stain Distress Inks.  I then used a leaf stamp and stamped all over the background.  I added some Halloween diecuts and a few sticker leaves, a metal brad that says Halloween and finished it off with some fun fibers.

Here it is:



My first card used inspiration from Inspired By which I chose to use the colors of the inspiration as I knew I had some fun retro papers that would be perfect.  I chose a sketch from My Time Made Easy and a scripture from Word Art Wednesday.

My second card is for this week's CYAO challenge over at Paper Secrets.  It uses a sketch and you must select 3 of the following elements to include on your card:  *heat embossing  *metal  *glitter  *border punch  *handmade flower  *pearls.  I chose a metal frame, a border punch and pearls.
