Welcome to this weeks Color My Heart Color Challenge!  This week for Color Dare #189 we are challenging you to combine SHADES OF ORANGE & COLONIAL WHITE.

Color Dare #191I wasn’t really sure what I was going to do for this hop… When I went into my craft room I had the May SOTM out and decided to play around with it.  Here is the finished product:

Color Dare #191 ~ Celebrate with Cat ~ Oranges with Colonial White ~ CatScrapbooking.comI used Poppy pigment inks to stamp the cake layers.  I then used the watercolor paints to color the cake.  I liked how the cake turned out but it needed something so, I added some splatters using the watercolor paints.  It still needed some bling so I use the bitty sparkles and coral sequins.

Here is the full list of supplies used:

Regatta Pinwheels

April 27, 2016 by

I love the colors in the Regatta paper pack and though they would make awesome pinwheels.  I love pinwheels and have been eyeballing the We R Memory Keepers Pinwheel Punch Board.  I finally used a coupon and purchased it.  I also purchased the attachments to make the pinwheels.  I so love how this turned out.

interactive card ~ Rocket ~ penny sider ~ Outta this world ~ CatScrapbooking.comFor this card I used a nesting circle dies. to cut the circles. Then when I assembled the cardI realized my rocket would not cover the penny so I had to improvise.  I took a 3/4″ circle and inked it to match the background.  To create the background I started by stamping the stars with Versamark and used white embossing powder.  I the started with Crystal Blue ink, then applied Sapphire.  I then added a little bit of Black ink.

Technique Blog Hop ~ Resisting Can Be Fun

April 15, 2016 by

Welcome to the Technique Blog Hop!

12885795_10153498448327934_6111664379251054366_oThis month we are featuring a technique called Resisting!  What is resisting?  Here is a definition I found on the internet “withstand the action or effect of.”  I like to use embossing powder for this technique.  I would usually use a colored embossing power, like white, black, silver, etc.  This time I tried clear embossing powder.   If you just hopped onto my blog or arrived from WENDY KESSLER’S Blog then you are in the right place.  This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork.

So I started with a White Daisy cardstock, then using Versamark I stamped the image.  I then used clear embossing powder.

Embossed Resist ~ Mothers Day Card step 1 ~ CatScrapbooking.comThen I used Glacier, Pixie and Thistle inks and a dauber to apply the ink to the White Daisy cardstock.

Embossing Resist ~ Mother's Day Card step 2 ~ CatScrapbooking.comOnce I applied all the ink to change the color of the White Daisy, I then stamped some additional flowers.
