Hello Crafty Friends!
    Wow I cant believe we are at sketch #25 already!! This sketch has so much versatility that I had a hard time deciding what element to choose! I have been making a lot of Christmas cards lately and thought I needed something else....So I chose to make a Halloween card! Check it out....

For my layout I really wanted to use the babycakes and show how it can be for more than just the themed baby layouts. I had the pictures from 2000 that I had so that's where I started. I looked on pintrest for layout inspiration and used the layout from Nicole Norris. I also used the circuit artbooking cartridge :) I think it needs more embellishments...what do you think?

Geust Designer for Color Dare Challenge

Hello Crafty Friends!
    I am SO honoured to be the guest designer this week for Color My Heart blog this week :)
The colours were Goldrush, Autumn Terracotta, and Olive! I also wanted to try the direct to paper technique so I have come up with four cards..... This first one is my favourite...I hope it was ok to add Coco colour too?

 This one I liked too, just a bit more masculine and simple, but I liked the wood grain look. I just dragged the ink onto the cardstock...very simple yet dramatic.

 This one was my first attempt. I was trying not to use any additional colours.

 This one I was trying not to use as much white space, but then I stamped the flower in the 3 colours and it didn't show well so I over stamped with coco... its my least fav. but I figured I would post it so maybe others wouldn't be intimidated and see how the steps to a card you really love sometimes takes a bit :)

 

So what do you think? I hope I have done a good job as a guest designer and I hope you are inspired to make your own cards :)
