Fuchsia and Navy for Color Hues

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

It's time for a new challenge at Color Hues.

This month my dear friend Nanc' picked our colors.  She chose....

Now Fuchsia is not a color I would normally use so I had to hunt to find something

to help me with this color.  Fortunately my Twimarkers set has a Fuchsia marker.

Problem solved in the most delightful way.

After coloring the die cuts, I popped them on an embossed piece of navy.

Love that contrast!

Now let's go and see what my talented friends and our have done to inspire you.

I hope you'll create a card using Fuchsia & Navy and add it to the gallery at

Color Hues

You can use any hue of these two colors.

Challenge ends at 9:00 AM on April 14th.

Sweet Day

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

When I saw Amy's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #729, I knew just what I 

wanted to do.  This stamp has been in my NBUS box for almost a year and

this was the perfect opportunity to use it.

First, here's the sketch...

I used Memento Toffee Crunch to stamp onto mixed media paper and colored

with Zig markers and a waterbrush.  So fun!

I tried some different backgrounds and like the black best so it became my "white" space.

I had so much fun that I want to do another.  I hope I get to it and not distracted 

with other things that keep coming into my craft room.

Card Recipe

Stamps:  Four Petal Sweet Day Flowers (SB)

Ink:  Toffee Crunch, Tuxedo Black (Mem)

Paper: Mixed Media (Strathmore), Black

Other: Zigs CCRBM, Micron 005 Black, Floral Festoon EF (SSS), Essential Stylish Ovals die (SB)

Enjoy!

Tulip Tag

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

The tulips are beginning to bloom here.  I always love seeing their

bright heads popping up in the gardens.

So it was time to get out these NBUS Simon Hurley tulip dies.

I cut all the pieces from mixed media paper and colored with Distress re-inkers

used as watercolors.

Some frames in my leftover box and were a good fit for the tulip

with an embossed pieces behind.

A tiny butterfly and happy Birthday tag finished it off.

Challenges:

NBUS  #84 - Never Before Used Schtuff

There are two more tulips in the set.  I'll save them for another day.

Easter Bunnies

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Easter's on it's way!

I think these Alex Siberia bunnies are so cute!

There are other critter dies in this set.  I'm anxious to use them too.

We have brown bunnies in our yard.  Hubby feeds them Cheerios and

they will hop up to him to get them.  These bunnies were cut from white

cardstock and colored with Distress Ink and a finger dauber.

I used a cover plate die for the background.  The label is from a retired Stampin'

Up set and the sentiment is by Papertrey Ink (PTI).

Here's another card that I did with friends last week.

I think this one was everyone's favorite!

Challenges:

A Cut Above - ATG using die cuts

Double D  - Easter/Church/Cross
