Muse #261 + Color Throwdown #488

The bright spring flowers in Tracey's Muse #261 design really caught my eye this week. I took the  floral spray and sentiment from her design and paired them with the Color Throwdown #488 colors.

The Avery Elle Mother's Day floral image is stamped on a white panel and colored with Copic markers. The top of the image is fussy cut and the rest of the panel trimmed with a stitched rectangle die before the hello sentiment from Avery Elle Brushed is finished with the PTI Simply Spring Borders spring stamp.

The stamped panel is popped up on an aqua polka dot patterned paper panel and a trio of Pretty Pink Posh jewels added to complete the card.

CQC#285 + JUGS#287 + Virginia's View #14 + AAA Cards #36 + Curtain Call: Beginnings

I loved the color palette for the Colour Q Challenge #285 so much that I immediately pulled out my inks closest to the Stampin' Up colors listed so I wouldn't forget to play along this week. Somehow, it still took me all week to come up with a version of this card that I like and I am just squeaking in before the deadline (and did miss the deadline for entering it in the CASology: Spring challenge.)

The masked square on the card base is inked with a stencil and part of the sentiment is stamped before it is all framed with a couple of layers of PTI Slide Frame die cuts.

The "sending" die cut is inked with Mustard Seed Distress Ink and adhered along the frame with the Massa Leaf and Butterfly dies layered in the opposite corner.

ETA The butterfly dies are from Poppystamps. Delaney, the pink detailed die, has been discontinued and Cheviot, the solid die on the bottom, is still available. Although sold separately, Poppystamps has a number of beautiful butterfly dies that go together.

This card it being linked to a few other challenges - you can check out all the details by following these links,
