Happy July!  It’s time for a new challenge at House of Cards!  All you need to do is use stripes and/or the colors in the image for your card.

I opted to use both stripes and colors in my card.  So I started by stamping and die cutting the daisy image.  Then I used a few colored pencils to add a bit more dimension to the flowers.

I love my washi tape die for sentiments so I used it for this one.  I die cut in white and crumbcake to make the sentiment pop a bit.

I cut a chunk of striped paper and backed it with crumbcake as well.  After adhering everything to the card base, I added a few pearls and was done.

It’s time for a new challenge at As You See It! This time we have a color challenge for you – pink, green, and light yellow.

I started with the SU! number of years set and stamped the floral image using all three colors – pink pirouette, garden green and so saffron. Then I backed the white with a piece of so saffron and garden green.

I opted to use some vanilla cream to house the sentiment and die cut using my washi tape die. I adhered everything in accordance with the sketch that I borrowed from the Fusion Challenge.

Today I made a very clean and simple sympathy card. I started with one of my favorite flower stamps called cornflowers by Rubbernecker Stamps.

I used my markers to ink up the image in crisp cantaloupe, calypso coral, pear pizzazz and garden green.

I stamped the image, added the sentiment and a few pearls and enamel dots. A nice one layer card for a difficult reason.

I am pretty happy with how this card turned out!

How do Monday! I am happy to report that our girls’ basketball team won their state championship game on Saturday! They are back to back champions, having won last year! A pretty awesome achievement!

Today’s card was made for the Freshly Made Sketches sketch using the Color Throwdown colors. I started by stamping the stem out of old olive and the tulip out of tangerine tango and crushed curry inks. I added the milk bottle and filled in some water with marina mist.

A sentiment, a piece of pattern paper from my stash and a trip thru the linen impression plate and this card is done.

Welcome to a new challenge at As You See It! Today’s challenge is a color challenge with some fun colors of so saffron, melon mambo, and cucumber crush. These are Stampin’ Up colors so feel free to use a soft yellow, a bright pink and a bright green and you are good to go!

I opted to make a one layer card for this challenge. I started by stamping a doily of so saffron for the background and then added the flowers out of melon mambo and cucumber crush.

I finished off by adding a sentiment and running the card thru my linen impression plate. A fairly simple card with colors that I thought might be hard to marry together. But I love how this turned out!

Today’s card is very clean and simple. I needed to make a sympathy card. A friend of mine recently lost her husband and I wanted something that was understated but elegant.

I started with a base of vanilla that I ran thru the linen impression plate. I die cut a piece of pattern paper with my horizontal stitched dies.

The sentiment was gold embossed on vanilla and ran thru both the linen plate and the double stitched oval die. I layered everything and added a bit of gold cording underneath.
