AAA Cards Challenge #319: Color Challenge

Hello this fortnight we play with color a nice vibrant and candy like colors.

I first thought I would diecut the flip flops from colored cardstock as per the challenge. but I deemed them too big for our CAS challenge because I wanted three on the card front.

Instead I opted to make a sunset with the colors inside a circle, then, like you see a lot, black flip flops as they're backlighted, but then I found them too dark for a Summer card, I added some yellow on the strips to brighten that up and a black gemstone.

The Sunset was made with 2 circle masks and Distress inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch

Flamingo, Carved Pumpkin and Picked Raspberry. I kind of like this for a beach sunset with a black palm tree, with the flip flops not so much.

The Happy Birthday is from Whimsy Stamps: Simple Sentiment Strips.

The flipflops are Marianne Design: LR0477.

For my second card I made a beach with Distress ink Scattered Straw and  wanted to make it look like the Flip Flops were stuck in the sand. These were the ones I made for my first idea. I was tempted to add some blue for the Sea, but that's not included in the challenge colors. 

I look forward to your takes on the card, you can enter them here.

AAA Card Challenge #313: Color Challenge

 Hello, this fortnight we have a color challenge for you, use at least 3 of the colors on the badge, white, black, fur/hair color and silver and gold are allowed as accents.

For my background I inkblended Distress inks: Saltwater Taffy, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Rapberry and One Memento ink Lulu Lavender as I thought that's more on the red side than Shaded Lilac from Distress inks.

The colors don't have to be an exact match but as close as you can get them. I used the same pink inkblending tool, so I think the Flamingo and Raspberry kinda evened out.

I also used the Lulu Lavender for the sentiment which is Sunny Studio's Birthday Mouse, as is the image of the mouse.

I stamped it with My Favorite Things Extreme black ink and colored it with Graphit Brush markers, cut it out with the Scan n Cut, mounted it with foamtape and adhered it to the card.

 

I look forward to your takes on the card, you can enter them here.

AAA Card Challenge #307 Color Challenge

 

Hello, this fortnight we have a color challenge for you again.

Use at least 3 of 4, fur, skin and neutrals such as black or white, gold and silver are fine; and the colors don't have to be an exact match, just try your best.

For my stamping I've used Memento inks: New Sprout, Bamboo Leaves and Nautical blue

The brush stroke is a stamp from Marianne Design (Eline's Brush  EC0161 and the twig is also Marianne design (cs1143 Mistletoe), I stamped that on top with Versafine. I didn't realise it was mistletoe until I wrote down the supplies, I thought it was an Olive branch, so  you know it's versatile.

The sentiment is Whismy Stamps Simple Sentiment and I cut it out with the coordinating dies, then mounted it with foamtape.

I look forward to your takes on the card, you can enter them here.

AAA Cards Challenge #299: Color Challenge

Hello, this fortnight we have a color challenge for you again, and  I saw a golden brown branch and some kind of bird in the purples. I didn't use the blue-grey

I've used a dieset from Decotime and cut all the elements from colored cardstock with double sided adhesive on the back. Cut 2 birds, then cut one wing off and stuck it on top the other/

The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps (Simple Sentiment Strips)

I look forward to what you come up with.

AAA Card Challenge #297: Anything Cars Goes (all greens)

 

Hello, this fortnight we have an anything goes challenge, with the optional twist of using only green. 

I only used black for the eye lashes ( I think) on my Marianne Design Chameleon (Col1542)

I started by prepping some Clair Fontaine Aquapad paper with Talens Ecoline, let it dry.

The attached double sided adhesive on the back (Marianne Design Lr0014) and diecut all the elements.

I had enough background left, I used a strip on the cardbase as if the chameleon is in a forest and as the colors match, I think it looks like he's absorbed his surroundings. The branch is a solid dark green cardstock)

With the double sided adhesive, glue-ing this critter together is a breeze, no mess.

The sentiment is from Leane Creatief (NL Teksten), and I also diecut it from the watercolored card.

I look forward to what you make, of course green is very suitable for forest or greenery like ferns, but a green car is also valid, or green house p.e. I'm sure you can come up with more ideas.

AAA Card Challenge #289: Color Challenge

 Hello, this fortnight we have another color challenge.

Use 3 or more if you can, and remember the colors don't have to be an exact match to the  challenge badge, as close as you can get it.

I've used Distress inks on white cardstock to make my own colored card, i've used Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo.

Normally the centre of flowers would be yellow, but I went with the same white as my cardbase, so it's not an extra color.

I let the ink dry after  dragging the inkpads over the white cardstock.

Stamped the Get well sentiment from Clearly Besotted (Brushed Greetings II) with Versafine Black ink.

Adhered the flowers with liquid glue. They are from Marianne Design (LR0697)

I look forward to your makes.

AAA Card Challenge #283: Color Challenge

Another new kind of challenge we came up with: 4 color tiles and you should use at least 3, you can use neutrals, for say skin and or fur and black and white for stamping and sentiment. The colors don't have to be an exact match, as close as you can get them.

I used all 4 in my Distress color palette (Speckled Egg,  Weathered Wood, Iced Spruce and Pine Needles)

For my card I masked off a portion on the cardbase and inkblended Speckled Egg and Weathered Wood, for my blue-ish greys, then splattered with water.

I diecut really old Clearly Besotted dies (on the line dies) masked off on the bottom and dragged the other  two colors over the trees and houses ( Iced Spruce and Pine Needles).

Mounted them on the cardbase, on top of each other.

The sentiment is also Clearly Besotted: Tiny Type and I stamped it with a morning mist Versafine Clair ink, thought it would match better than black.
