So Glad our Friendship has Bloomed

I had so much fun combining these colors.  I have been trying to step outside the normal color palette that I have used for years and experiment with new color combos.  I ordered the MFT Cardstock Sampler a couple months ago and I LOVE it.  This allows you to try new colors without the commitment of buying a whole package of one color and then not liking it.

I still had the typewrite background stamp on my desk from the card I posted the other day.  This time I stamped the same colored ink as the cardstock.  I like just the small piece of patterned paper on this card.  It brings all the colors together.  Don't ya think?  ;)

Thank You Triangles

I don't spend a lot of time on Pinterest nor do I go searching for things to pin, but I do check it a few times a day.  One day I found a bunch of color inspiration boards and pinned them.  I took this one literally and was inspired by the triangle tiles as well as the color palette.

I took my triangle screen die-namics plate and ran it through my die cutting machine in each of the colors below.  Then I ran a piece of white cardstock, slightly smaller than the frame, through my Xyron adhesive machine and adhered the frame to my base.  After that was complete, I then started putting random colors in the empty holes.The white frame with random pops of color is what makes this look so similar to the inspiration photo.  I did find out the hard way that each one of those tiny triangles goes in the hole a certain way.  If you try and make it fit the wrong direction, it will look horrible.  Ask me how I know.  ;)

I am absolutely in LOVE with the way this turned out!  What do you think?

MFTWSC173

Hello again!  I have a card to share that I made using the current MFT sketch as well as the April Color Palette Challenge.  I used two thank you cards from my stash last week and figured it would be best to replace one.

No patterned paper was used for this card.  The typewriter text background was stamped in a natural colored ink on, and the flower was stamped in Razzleberry ink on white cardstock.  I've been itching to use the pretty Four Corners die-namics dies, it made for a pretty decorative leaf substitute.

Sweet Easter Wishes

I wanted to pop in real quick and share a card I created for my friend's mother for Easter.  She has been kind enough to open her home to my family for Easter and Thanksgiving since 2008.  My family lives in Alabama and my in-laws are over 2 hours away.

I tell ya this was a challenge not using any patterned papers.  Since Archivers closed up I don't have a good place to run and pick up current patterned paper packs.  All the local big box craft stores carry out dated paper packs that I already own.
