Happy Wednesday everyone~

swatch 103

It’s a time for The Color Throwdown challenge. It is also bi-weekly What If? Wednesday Sketch Challenge from Repeat Impressions. So, I made one card for those challenges together. I hope you will have a chance to play both challenges :)

For the CTD colors, Remember, you don’t have to have the exact colors to play along, just use what’s close! Please stop by the Color Throwdown Blog for all the details. This is my last week as a guest DT for The Color Throwdown… thank you so much to the CTD DT for letting me participate this wonderful opportunity for the last one month, especially the CTD100 celebration was super crazy (which is in a good way)!!

For What If? Wednesday Sketch challenge, Wendy has created another wonderful sketch to play. You will have 2 weeks (until Tuesday, Aug 10th) to enter your card for the challenge over RI blog, “The House that Stamps Built”. All participants will have a chance to win a $25 Repeat Impressions gift certificate!! I can’t wait to see your creation! Please check out RI Blog for the more details.

 

I used Rebecca (708-K) for the main image and it was colored with Copic markers. The main mat was sponged, the second layer was scored, and the 3rd layer & the background were used the designer papers that matched with the CTD color combo. I used the border punch for the scallop part on the sketch though it didn’t quite show because of the sentiment label I used :P The sentiment is one of NEW Quartet Complements series.

Hello Maki, this is just an absolutely stunning card. I love the image. I have a painting in my room with an image just like this, it's my favorite.

I love all the colors and the DP is just beautiful. The pearls and flowers are just lovely.

Tammy Hershberger said...

Your Rebecca images is adorable and you really captured the look I was going for in choosing these colors... fresh and summery! That SU! paper you used is a perfect compliment!

It's been AWESOME to have you as our Guestie this month, Maki! Thanks for joining us!

This card is simply GORGEOUS!!!! I love how elegant you made it look!! I wish I had this stamp. My girlfriends' mom just had her BFF pass away this morning (seconds after I opened this blog and saw your card, I got the news) and is terribly upset....I wish I could make something this beautiful for her....this card would be PERFECT for her to remember her best friend by! Thank you for sharing!!

Mickymar said...

I am very envious of card makers, as it is one crafty I have not done. I love the colors you have used and my goodness, I wouldn't mind getting a great hand made card like these. I will be back for inspiration!
