Hello peeps,
I have two cards to share today. Both are made using fun Concord & 9th supplies and they are inspired by two challenges. Joanne has a theme challenge for us at The Paper Players, and I'm using the colors from the new Sunday Stamps challenge.
The Paper Players theme is dots or stripes. I've used a bit of both on my cards.
The backgrounds are made with the C&9th Scattered Dots Turnabout stamp.
On card one, I cut some C&9th fall themed patterned papers into stripes, in various widths, and glued them to a piece of card stock at an angle. Then I cut a large C&9th Heart die from the striped paper.
The large sentiment die is also from C&9th and I added some SU Shimmery Crystal Effects over it. For additional embellishments I cut three smaller hearts from the same die set as the large heart die and I also added some enamel dots from my stash.
Card two has the same background except I changed out the light blue ink for navy and the bright yellow ink for gold. The C&9th leaf die is cut from four pieces of the fall paper pack and I inlayed the small pieces. The greeting is heat embossed onto navy card stock and cut out with a GKD die.
The inside of card two is stamped with a C&9th birthday greeting and the leaves are from the stamp set that goes with the large leaf die.
I'm still enjoying the US Open Tennis matches, although I tend to listen and then watch the replays when I'm also crafting. There has been some exciting matches. My bestie that lives in Sacramento is also a big tennis fan so we tend to do a lot of texting during the evening matches. Almost like watching together.
Enjoy your afternoon and evening!

Those fall colors certainly work well on both of your cards Colleen, and I am dazzled by all the patterns in your stripes that make up your large heart on the first card! The heart and large die definitely make for a bold design! Both 9f your cards are wonderful! Thanks for joining us this week at The Paper Players!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Colleen - your card is big on colour, big on sentiment and big on spots and stripes to boot - I love it! Thanks for joining in with my spots and stripes challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous pair of cards, Colleen! This is such a great fall color palette. The collection of patterns you used in making the striped heart creates a striking focal point. However, the striped, inlayed leaf on the second card is absolutely stunning. Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fun heart die cut card with the colorful strips. A great idea for using up little scraps. Such happy colors, and the sentiment really pops. Thanks for joining Sunday Stamps.
