Kwerner Color Challenge # 51

Here is Kristina's color challenge # 51 too late to submit. :)

The colors were brown, rose, mustard, and white. I found this shape from a set of journaling pieces and traced it onto cardstock and created the mask and frame.

I masked and stamped the brown houndstooth and clear embossed it. I sponged the pink on using a mask.

I then stamped the brown flowers and colored them in using my colored pencils and watercolor pencils.

Add a few accents.. and done..

• Hero Arts - Houndstooth
• Versafine - Vintage Sepia
• Memento - Rose Bud

Kwerner Challenge #50

I made 3 cards using Kristina's 50th color challenge http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/?p=1333 and can only submit one link so I decided on this one:
The colors were brown, red, yellow, turqouise, and white... Here is the card I am linking to her challenge.

The vines are stamped with yellow first and overlaid with a brown to give a shadow effect.
I cut several of the vines and used them for the stems of the flowers.

Happy Easter and a little Spring!

Time for another of Kristina Werner's color challenge... http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/?p=1274 which encompasses these colors:

Love the bright colors on these. I am truly inspired by colors in addition to new stamps. :)

There are these lovely birds from Inkadinkado which are so much fun because of the circles and swirls built into them.

I decided to ink up a bird and use it as my focal point for these colors. I really feel the bird reminds me of a robin because of her bright red chest.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter! Spring is a time to renew and rejoice!

Happy Easter!

Kwerner Challenge # 47

Kristina's Color Challenge this week: http://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/?p=1122 contains colors I used earlier this week to make several cards. I actually felt like I was stuck in a rut using the orange, brown, yellow and white. :) So when I saw her colors it gave me a chuckle..

I went a different path with this card and tried to incorporate more white, different shape and look and feel from my earlier cards.

I am addicted to my new Cornish Heritage Farms stamp (lined paper). I also just purchased a grid paper stamp of theirs which I have been playing with as well and I love for a background effect.

Products:

• Cornish Heritage Farms - Lined Paper
• Hero Arts - Heart Winged Butterfly
• Stampabilities - Tapestry Pattern
• Hero Arts - Happy Birthday To You

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and I hope it brings you and your loved ones a blessed year!

Yesterday I worked on Kristina's Color Challenge... http://kwernerdesign.com/blog/2008/12/color-inspiration-36.html

Here are the colors:

I loved this color combination. I immediately die cut some hearts in red and green thinking I would emboss them. I ended up using the cut out as a mask instead. Here is my main heart.

I stamped the pretty floral/flourish stamp on white cardstock and embossed using light pink embossign powder. I then took the cardstock where I had cut out the hearts and used that as a mask and sponged on the red ink to make my hearts.

I purchased these charms with sentiments. I thought this was an appropriate sentiment.

• Paper Inspirations - Floral Flourish
• Creative Beginnings - Pastel Pink Embossing Powder
• Martha Stewart - Doily Lace Border Punch
• EK Success - Red Adornments
• Sizzix Heart Die Cuts
