Flourishes BBB23 - The Beauty of a Rainbow

 

 

This month it's The Beauty of a Rainbow!

 Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet - combine all and you have the colors of the rainbow!  For this challenge - show us how you can combine at least three of those hues to celebrate The Beauty of a Rainbow on your card or creation!  Link up your  Bring Back Beautiful Challenge creations below to enter. 

If you upload to SCS, please use the keyword BBB23.  You have until June 30 to enter!  As we unveil our challenge for next month, we'll share our True Beauties on the Flourishes Blog and will receive a True Beauty blog button to display proudly on your blog!  Our FAVORITE entry this month will also be asked if they would like to join the team for the August Challenge!

How fun is today's challenge!!!  I love rainbow's, and the beauty they bring, so for my project I couldn't resist using Fanciful Flourishes, and stamping them with colors of the rainbow.  I wanted to keep this card simple so the butterflies would be the main focal point.  Each butterfly was stamped with different colors of Distress Ink listed below, and the background was embossed with Spellbinders Regal M-Bossabilities.  I like how the ribbon/bow adds the finishing touch.

I hope you come and join us!  I can't wait to see your rainbow :)

That's it for me today, don't miss the lovely creations the rest of the ladies listed below have for you today...

JustRite Friday Challenge "Vintage Masculine"

Good morning bloggers, welcome to another JustRite Friday Challenge.  Our challenge for this week was to  create a Vintage Masculine card, or project.  Chick here to find out all of the details. 

For today's card I used JustRite's Vintage Travel, Cozy Plaid, and Going Places Vintage Labels images with Spellbinders die templates to create the foil Sprockets. For me, this card was way outside my comfort zone, so I asked DH if he would give some input.  I pulled supplies from my stach that fit the masculine theme so he could see what I had, and we dug in.    Even though there's no bows, ribbon or lace  I think this is one of my favorite projects because, it's a project we created together.

That's it for me today, be sure and visit JustRite's blog, and the rest of the designers for more inspiration and information.  Come join us if you can.

I Will Never...

Hi again,  I love the Prima pearls on today's project, so much so I designed this card to match them.  In the close up pictures below you will notice the little flowers match the color of the background image called Chevron from JustRite Papercraft.  I had all kinds of products ready to put on this card, but as it started coming together, I thought less was best. 

That's it for me today, I'm off to finish up a couple more projects.  Remember you can click on the picture to make them larger for easier viewing, and all supplies are listed below.

Big Girl Pants

Hello there bloggers,  I think this little Mo Manning digital image called Big Girl Pants is the cutest thing, fun to color, and  I was very happy with how she turned out.  I printed her out with my laser printer (EPSON Stylus Photo 1400) on X-Press It blending cardstock, colored her with Copic Markers listed below, then cut/embossed using Spellbinders Curved Rectangles.  I stamped JustRite's Classic Scallop Borders One with VersaMark, heat set white embossing powder, then cut/embossed with Spellbinders coordinating Classic Edges One Edgeabilities.  Foam tape is between each layer, and I finished up with Wrinkle Ribbon, and a pretty little Prima flower.

My project today is a simple/elegant card. With the VersaMark stamp pad, stamp the Heart Scroll Background on Vellum cardstock, then heat set white embossing powder, and attach it to gray cardstock with vellum tape.  I added Prima's Lace and Pearl borders cut to fit my card front.  Cut/emboss the heart die template, stamp the sentiment with VersaMark, again heat set white embossing powder. Attach the heart, bow and Prima flower as shown.  I did add more Rhinestones to the heart.

I must admit I was a little worried when I learned what we had to focus on today LOL!!!  As mush as I love Red, White & Blue, it's way outside my crafty comfort zone...  So, I elected to color this beautiful LaBlanche image using Distress Inks.  I will be the first to tell you I'm no expert when it comes to birds, so I colored mine to fit today's challange.  I kept the rest of the card simple and white, so the bird would pop.  The little white Prima flower was colored with red Copic Markers so it would also match.

 

That's it for me today, we have family here for Mother's Day, but be sure and visit the designers listed below for more inspiration.

Good luck!

Hello there dear bloggers, and welcome to another Saturday of Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style - All Strung Out!  Sharon has a "String" category over at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store that you can see here.

My card today is for my sweet Granddaughter...  She just had surgery on her shoulder, so she's a little down and out :(  I think it may give her a little pick-me-up when I visit her tomorrow.  I love the Heart Scroll Background stamp, it's so pretty, and perfect for this card.  The flower was colored with Copic Markers, Burlap String was wrapped around the card front several times, I also made several loops and tied my bow.
