CCMC354It’s time for another GREAT challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge and this week it is a fun color challenge:  Bermuda Bay, Tangelo Twist and Gold.  How fun is that!

Recently I’ve been on a geometrical shapes kick.  Since the Geometrical set and matching Triangle Punch is retiring I thought I’d use it for my card this week.  It worked out perfectly!

Here’s the details –

  • Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Whisper White – 3 5/8 x 4 7/8.  Stamp greeting using Memento Black and add to card front using dimensionals.
  • Stamp 3 each of triangle image using Bermuda Bay and striped image using Tangelo Twist, punch out using Triangle punch, also punch out 3 Gold Foil Triangles.  Add triangles to card front.

Yep…SUPER SIMPLE!

And don’t forget to head over to Create with Connie and Mary to check out what the design team did with this delightful challenge!

Buttercup

IC423Cheer up Buttercup!  Okay…so I REALLY wanted to do some stamping today (okay…I really NEED to do some stamping today but don’t have much energy.  I hadn’t been feeling good and went to the doctor last Tuesday.  She thought it might be a heart problem, ended up I had pneumonia.  I think I might finally be on  the mend (if laundry doesn’t do me in today!  LOL!!!).

Since I wanted to use some of my NEW STUFF and wanted to join a challenge, I decided to do the Inspiration Challenge on SCS.  This is the piece that was my inspiration…honeycomb votive holder.  I used the honeycomb idea and my new Hexagon Hive Thinlit cut from Smoky Slate and I was ready to rock and roll…okay…I was ready to slowly work on this!

Here’s the details…

  • So Saffon 4 1/4 x 11 folded
  • Stamp the one splatter in Crushed Curry and the other (small one) in Smoky Slate
  • Smokey Slate – Cut with Hexagon hive Thinlet (I used a double layer of wax paper between the thinlit and the paper and it cut and released GREAT!  Add to card base using dimensionals.
  • Whisper White 3 1/2 x 1.  Stamp greeting using Crushed Curry and Basic Black, cut in to a banner.
  • Take a piece of Crushed Curry Chevron, fold over, pinch and secure with a Candy Dot brad base and add to the banner.  Add to banner.  Add a Smoky Slate Candy Dot to the base.
  • Add 1/4″ strip of Basic Black behind banner and add banner to card front using a double layer of dimensionals.
