A Place to Start-November 2019-Option Caffeinated Tones

Our newest challenge at A Place to Start is a color challenge.  We want you to use Caffeinated Tones.  Personally, I don't drink coffee and neither do my husband or my sons.  But I have a niece who truly loves coffee and "needs" it to get her day started, so this card will go to her.

Below is the color chart for this challenge:

"Caffeinated Tones"

You may add neutrals or other spot colors!

This challenge gave me a chance to use some small images that I have.  I stamped the to go cups, added some shading and colored the hearts.  Finally I fussy cut the images and added the sentiment. The patterned paper background perfectly fits.  This is a really simple card that came together quite quickly.

We want to see your projects so get busy, create and link up to our challenge!

613 Avenue Create November 2019-Anything Goes-Option Scrap Your Stash

Hello there!  I hope things are going well with you.  This month's optional twist at 613 Avenue Create is to Scrap Your Stash - in other words use some leftover stuff to create a project.

Here's my card:

I used a panel on which I had practiced blending Distress Oxide Inks using my makeup brushes from Amazon.  I really love blending with them.  I have more panels set aside. The birds were left over from my practicing using two colors to stamp them.  And I have a ton of little heart dies of various colors.  I decided to use a red one.

I cut out the middle of the framed die and added the leaves after coloring them with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I added a sentiment, and it was perfect for my husband.

I hope you decide to enter our challenge.  We all have crafty items hanging around that we need to use.  Look through what you have and join us.  It will be fun!
