Grow With Love

Hey there! I'm back with another fabulous color combination. I played along with the Loonie Stampers this week since I'm on vacation and trying to cram in as much crafting as possible before going back to work! :) You can see Charlene's blog here or Regan's here.

All the cardstock is PTI and the patterned paper is Recollections from Michael's. I bought this a little while ago and just been waiting for the perfect card to put it on. On the banner I stamped a teeny, tiny flower in Versamark to tie it in with the flowers blooming theme.
Again, I used my Cricut. I'm warning you... I'll probably be using it on every single card until I wear the thing out! I also used dimensionals to pop up the flower and sentiment.

Another Raspberry Suite Challenge Card

I made another card using Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #21 combo. I just love the look of these light and breezy colors together: dark chocolate, aqua mist, lemon tart, and vintage cream.

Again, I apologize for the poor pictures. The lighting in my new craft room is not good at all and I don't own a light tent. I guess I will have to start taking the cards outside for better pictures!
I'm in love with this focal flower. They were cut using my brand-new Cricut with the basic letters and shapes cartridge. That tag shape was also cut from the basic shapes cartridge and then I cut the top off of it to go behind the flower without showing. The crochet flower is one I've been hoarding in my stash for way too long now. It fits perfectly on this card front.
I stamped flourishes in Aqua Mist on the background. I asked my husband's opinion on a couple different colors for it and he chose that one. It's kind of fun to get him in on the craftiness sometimes! :)
The sentiment is from Everyday Button Bits (of course!) and the yellow flower isn't glued down; I just sort of curled the petals with my fingers.
I don't normal do cards in this size but maybe I should in the future because it was a fun base to work with.

Color Challenge

I read Dawn McVey's blog just about everyday and am always in love with the gorgeous color combinations that she offers up in her Raspberry Suite Color Challenges. I decided to participate for the first time for challenge #21.

Sorry my pictures are a little dark. My camera was about to die so I was rushing to get a picture and get this posted!I really like these colors together and I think that if I have time before the challenge ends I may just do another one.
Hope you're enjoying your week! I'm still on vacation and enjoying every day away from work!
Thanks for stopping by!
