Card Creations Week challenges

I finally found some time to play and wanted to enter some of Cath's challenges tied to the current Card Creations publication.  The first one is the Ombre Challenge.


I used this repeating dot pattern from a holiday stamp set by The Craft's Meow called Holiday Foundations, and 3 shades of Hero Arts ink: soft pool, tide pool, and splash.  the sentiment is also from TCM, from a set called Happy as a Lark.  The rolled roses are felt die-cuts, Die-Namics rolled roses.

My next card is for the Washi Tape Challenge:


I found a set of yellow and aqua washis recently at Michael's and added the yellow striped washi from Simon Says Stamp's March Card Kit.  After placing them on my white card panel, I stamped the sentiment (from The Craft's Meow Easter Blessings) and then embossed it with a Hobby Lobby butterfly embossing folder.  After adding the panel to a tide pool layering paper card base, I then added the die-cut butterfly (Cheery Lynn) and some aqua pearls.  Love these springy colors together!

  10. When I saw this blue card I actually groaned with pure delight, Lin. I haven't been able to get behind this "ombre" trend, but you got it just so I love it! Besides that, it is such a fun word to say, eh? The butterfly card is absolutely perfect -couldn't be sweeter! What a great combo of colors and images. Perfectly balanced, too.
