CMCC #60 - Louise

The colors for this week's Colour Me challenge were such a lift at this time of year!  So bright and cheerful - can't wait for this winter to be over and to start gardening again!   I used two punches this week (scalloped square from Stampin Up) and a small flower punch.  For stamps, the Gorgeous Grunge and Short and Sweet, and the card stock from the challenge colors.  Embellishments were small pearls.  Having fun!!

CMCC #59 - Louise

For this week's Colour Me challenge, I started with a tone on tone with Pool Party as the card stock and the following floral stamp sets from Stamp Up:  Reason to Smile  and Stipled Blossoms.  I used the Blessed Easter stamp for the sentiment and the Simply Sketched for the 'tab' flower.  The larger 'flag' is So Saffron in DSP, with Real Red as the smaller Flag. I used the owl punch to make the 3 little dots in So Saffron on the bottom right. 

Thanks designers for another inspirational week!  Happy Stampin'

The inspirational cards by the design team were awesome!  Thank you

CMCC #45 - Christmas Wishes

I made this card for the ColourMe "monochromatic" challenge in Stampin Up "Real Red".   I love the colour Red, cardinals and Christmas.....  I used two stamp sets (Ornamental Pine and Beauty of the Season), Crumb Cake and Real Red ink, Whisper White and Real Red card stock and Frosted Sequins embellishments.   I popped up the snowflakes by placing inverted sequins on the back held down by the mini glue dots.  

Thanks to the Design Team for another great week of inspiration!

CMCC #42 - Trees

This card was made for the ColourMe challenge this week using Crisp Cantaloupe, Island Indigo and Soft Sky.  I used a variety of border punches from Stampin Up to create the trees, pasted on Whisper White card stock.  I used the owl punch for the small 'balls' that decorate two of the trees, and rhinestones for the centre tree.  The sentiment is from the Special Season stamp set.

Loved the inspiration from the Design Team!  Thank you

CMCC #1 - Grateful

I used the Corner Garden and the Alphabetized stamps (with the thing-a-ma-jig) from StampinUp to make this card. The colors are for the ColourMe challenge this week - Cherry Cobbler and Hello Honey.  Recently a friend sent me some pictures taken in BC and they were breathtaking.  Made me realize how grateful I am to live in such a beautiful country and this inspired the sentiment on this card.
