Color Dare 249 ~ White Daisy, Whisper, Sapphire, Lagoon, Glacier, & Cashmere

June 23, 2017 by

Welcome to this weeks Color My Heart Color Challenge!  This week for Color Dare #249 we are challenging you to combine  White Daisy, Whisper, Sapphire, Lagoon, Glacier & Cashmere.I saw these colors and thought of the beach and sea shells.  So I though of the Swirly Seashell stamp set and thin cuts.

For this card I decided to stamp the colored cardstock with versamark I stamped the shells and used white embossing powder.  I then took my blending pen and used Sapphire ink on Cashmere shell.  I used Whisper ink and Lagoon ink on the Whisper sand-dollar.  On the Glacier shell I used the Lagoon and Whisper inks.

Now it is your turn to create! Just create a project (card, layout or other craft project) using this weeks colors.  Then link them to the Color My Heart Blog ~ Color Dare #249 or you can post them to the COLOR MY HEART FaceBook page.  For this Color Dare Challenge, you have until Thursday June 29, 2017 at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time to submit your project.   We love to see your inspirations.

Happy Crafting!

Happy Father’s Day

June 18, 2017 by

Happy Father’s Day to all those dads and father figures in your life.  Every year we have been making an hand-print or footprint artwork for my husband.  Here is this year’s creation

I used my Cricut to cut the letters out in vinyl.

I also made a this cute bear card for him.

I used the Rustic Home Fundamentals with Cocoa cardstock.  I used brown momento ink to stamp the bear and then watercolored the bear. The bear is from the Jack Cardmaking Stamp Set.  I really love this new blue burlap ribbon.

Happy Crafting!

I needed to create some thank you cards so I decided to play around with our new oval thin cut and the corresponding Scripty Thank you stamp A1206.

This one uses the Little Dreamer paper pack.

For this card I used the now retired paper pack Hello Lovely. I used the gold shimmer brush the thank you to give it a bit of glitter.  Here is a close up:
