6/6/25 - Color Dare Challenge $655 - Thankful Garden

Happy Friday everyone, today I am debuting my first DT card at Color Dare Challenge #655! I was so honored and thrilled to be chosen for the design team position and jumped on the first challenge opportunity. The background is created with Pattern of Friendship Dies with 2 tone paper for Garden Green, which is one of the color I picked from the color. I used the masks with Blending Bruch to color in the images but for some reason I came out lighter than my intention, perhaps I need to put more in on it next time. The mask is perfect to used multiple colors on a image and then it’s die cut out. I hope you enjoyed this creation and be sure to join us at the challenge.

I also used the coordinating DSP and the new Arch Dies. Hope you enjoyed this fun fold and will give it a try and join us at the challenge.

6/2/2025 - Make My Monday #253 Fishy - Ocean Friends Bundle

We are making Fishy card at Make My Monday today and this is what I came up with. I don’t have any fish stamp set so I created a underwater scene and I always remember that ocean water smells *FISHY!! Hahaha. I went with bright colors for the coral reefs and added some purple starfishes. It’s subtle but I added some bubbles with Summer Splash to create a tone on tone effects. Although this bundle has since retired from Stampin’ Up, I might keep it for a little bit!
