Craft Roulette challemge #64

This past Friday was a new challenge over at the Craft Roulette and boy was it fun!  With a new spin of the wheel, the parameters came up as...

Project: Easel Card

Colors: Green plus 3

Element: Plaids or Checks

Random: Markers  

This was a pretty good spin, and I am really happy with my card.

I haven't made an easel card in a while, but it is one of my favorite folds, and easy to make.  My green was Sweet leaf cardstock, my plus 3 additional colors were Pink, Yellow and Blue.  I used scrap pieces of paper from my stash for this card, the colors are Ballerina, Canary and Sweet leaf cardstock.  The plaid piece of paper from Jingle Joy paper pack (retired).  The sweet little bird is from Z3954 So Tweet stamp set with thin cuts, only available through the end of June.  The coloring was done with my Tri-Blend makers in the following colors Ice Blue, Citrus, Light Green and Bright Pink.  I finished my card with sparkles.  

Please let me know what think of my card and if I can answer any questions about products used.

Thanks for coming by,

Craft Roulette challenge #63

I haven't participated in card challenges for some time now, but been noticing a few other Close to my Heart Makers were playing along with the Craft Roulette Show, so I decided to give it a go this weekend. 

The concept is an improvised paper-craft challenge show, where the spin of the Roulette wheel reveals  the parameters, in 4 categories, for the weekly challenge.  The show is hosted by Mary Gunn FUNN, every Friday evening at 6:30 pm CT on You Tube CraftRoulette.live  You have 48 hours to create a project, following the spin parameters and submit your entry. 

Challenge 63

Project: 6 x 6 sketch - Color: cool - Element: car/truck - Random: envelope

We were given 2 sketches, so I decided to make one card, for each sketch.  My goal is to use any current and retired Close to My Heart stamps, papers and products, I have on hand, as much as possible, shopping.  Below are my two cards I created following the parameters.

Card 1

Colors are Bluebird, Grape and Lilac for the papers, and Bluebird and Grape ink.  I splattered the background with Bluebird shimmer brush, the striped paper is from I Heart Us paper pack retired).  Stamps used M1286 Sending Love Postage (retired) and CC61914 Bunches of Joy (retired).  I used a thin cut die for the Mini Envelope and added a few sparkles

Card 2

Colors used are Sapphire and Glacier, ink Sapphire and Ice turquoise Tri Blend marker for the truck.  Papers from a retired Mix-in paper packet. Thin cut die Mini envelope and stitched heart, then added sparkles to finish the card.

I really love a challenge, and this one really made me think outside the box.  I had fun thinking it through, shopping my stash and creating.  I hope you enjoyed my share today.  

Which one is your favorite? 

Thanks from coming by,
