7 Kids College Fund Challenge - Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!

Our challenge this week at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge is ANYTHING GOES!

You can find the following items at 7 Kids College Fund:

Breezy Going (Belles 'n Whistles) 

Memento
Copics
Spellbinders Mega-Nestabilities Curved Rectangles
Flowers

My inspiration for the layout actually came from the Elizabeth Bell's World Challenge Blog. I just love their header and took elements from their header to incorporate into my card. I flipped the layout because of the direction of the stamp. I wanted to keep the focus on the card rather than carry it off the card.

I colored my image using lots of green for the Make It Colourful "Colour with Green" Challenge.

I layered my bows and added a Build-a-Brad with the checkerboard to complete the theme. 

I am entering this card in the following challenges...

Make It Colourful "Colour with Green" Challenge
Sassy Cheryl's "Wearin' of the Green" Challenge

Papertake Weekly "One for the Girls" Challenge
 
Won't you join our ANYTHING GOES challenge? Just remember to use a stamp that 7 Kids College Fund carries to be eligible for the prize!

I cut some butterflies out of the DCWV paper. I think they are so lovely.

7 Kids College Fund Challenge - Try Something New

Happy Wednesday! 

It's a new year and time to try new things. Today at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge, we are asking you to try something new on your cards (a new coloring medium, a new technique, a new product). 

For my card today, I used a coloring technique that is not exactly new, but one that I don't use very often. It is the Gamsol Magic technique using Prismacolor Pencils. I also used a new item (see the rose below).

You can find the following items at 7 Kids College Fund: 

Stamps: A Pen Friend

Paper: Romantique (Prima)

Ink/Pencils: Memento, Prismacolor Pencils, Distress Ink

Accessories: Liquid Pearls

I used my Prismacolor Pencils to color A Pen Friend, and then used Gamsol to blend the colors. 

The day after Christmas, I finally broke down and purchased the McGill Rose Paper Blossoms. The large rose is my first attempt at making my own roses with this punch set.

I will be entering this in the following challenges: 

CLP Challenge - Sketch

 

Belles & Whistles Challenge - Warm Earth Colors
