color challenge

Happy Tuesday everyone, today was a beautiful day sunny 48 . We have had great weather for 4 days I think it is coming to and end tomorrow. This is a card I made today for the color challenge over on SCS. The colors were bashful blue certain celery and pink. We were asked to make a card for a family that is going through some tough times if you want to read about it head over there and send a card out. I did a gate fold card because I wanted to send the familt a hug, and what a great way to do that with this fold.The inside reads A Hug is a great gift.One size fits all.It can be given for any occasion and it's easy to exchange. Now for the recipe: The CS is from Bazzill and water color paper. The DP is K&Company. I used a piercer around the green CS and colored the bird in and used my aqua pen. Hope you all have a wonderful evening. Thanks for stopping. Meg

Hi , These are two more of the card I had made for VSN the one with the pretty ribbon I folded over and sewed a line down the middle.The challenge was to use a score tool to decorate your card. I used my score pal to make this card and put some bling in the middle with a simple picture of DP and a I love you. A silk flower and a brad Took all of about 20 mins to make this card.The next card I not so in like with... I'm just not a all white kind of gal. But that was the challenge. It was called Snow Blind Used a couple of different textured plates and a corner punch and flower , and I called it a card.
Hope to see you tomorrow. Meg

It has been one of those days... The Kids... The Husband.... Well tomorrow is another day,maybe it will be better. Hope your Day is alot better than mine. On to the cards ,this last weekend I made some cards for Easter time a bunny,a bird and a sheep.I really like how all of them turned out.I think I'm gonna put a cotton ball on the bunny tail. Just so it looks a little more realistic. Thanks for stopping.Have a great DAY. Meg
