Budding Beauties - CTD688

Hello, crafty friends! It’s my turn to host this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge and I’ve chosen some soft colors for us to create with after finding this pretty wedding photo online.
For my card, I used the stamp set, Budding Beauties from The Greetery along with the coordinating dies. I also used the Sprinkled With Kindness stamp set and dies for the watering can. I stamped the hydrangeas in bashful blue, marina mist, lavender lace and highland heather and the roses in pink pirouette and pretty in pink with all of the greenery in mellow moss and old olive. I also used the Market Basket Sentiment set for my sentiment tag and attached it with twine. I used some oval dies to adhere my watering can and flowers, popping up the can, roses and the right blue hydrangea with foam tape. For my background I used a piece of lavender plaid paper from my stash.

Toucan Do It - CTD687

Hello there! It’s Wednesday and time for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge!
For my card I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set Toucan Do It along with the coordinating dies to create a birthday card. I stamped, die cut and then colored my images using copic markers. For my background I blended on some tumbled glass distress ink and then used the Tropical Leaves Background stencil with the colors peacock feathers, twisted citron and mowed lawn distress oxide inks. On top of my stenciled background, I added a piece of green parakeet card stock which I die cut using the Grassy Hillside Borders dies and blended on some mowed lawn distress ink. After that I added my happy birthday sentiment which I die cut using the Happy Birthday Line Border and once that was glued on I added my images popping up the two cougars and the toucans.
