"Three Times a Charm"~ Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #19

Hi everyone!

It is time for another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge!

Our fellow DT member Amber~ Staying Crafty chose this weeks challenge....which is

 "Three Times a Charm". We were to create a project using 3 cuts, 3 colors only and 3 of the same embellishments.

When I read the challenge requirement I thought "hey this doesn't sound to difficult" but when I sat down to create I was stumped!

I ended up going through all my stamps and found a dollar bin one that is the inspiration for my card.

Ok so I had this stamp and I knew there was a cut on the Preserves Cartridge with a pear on it but when I looked at the booklet there are 3 cuts per pear so I got out my handy dandy gypsy and began playing with the two base cuts.

I was able after much manipulation weld the bottom layer and the next layer. Tada...all I had to do was cut the top layer out twice and I had my pear cut ~~I actually cheated and made 4 cuts..but don't tell anyone :)

I did pop one of the top layers up to give it some dimension.

Alittle inking around the layers also...I just love how it adds so much more to a cut.

My color choice for this was brown, green and pink. Love those colors together and the pattern paper was perfect for this...brown with pink stripes

I embellished with 3 glittery brads and stamped my sentiment with brown memento ink.

Ok so I hope I have inspired you to create a project for this weeks challenge.

There is a great prize for the winner....

The Nursery Rhymes Cartridge.

Remember you have 2 weeks to enter...plenty of time to create!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you all over at Whimsical Wednesday!

Whimsical Wednesdays Color Challenge

Morning everyone!

It is time again for another Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge!

This weeks challenge is a Color Challenge!

Your inspiration for this challenge is to use the colors Red and Yellow and you can choose another color or colors from the photo.

Isn't this such a fabulous craft room? Wish mine looked like this :)

So for my project I made a "sweet" card

My card is a standard A2 size and I used paper from Jillibean Soup~Chilled Strawberry Soup Collection in Whipped Cream.

I just LOVE this paper and the fun polka dots.

My cherries were cut at 4" using the Preserves Cartridge. There are 2 different red papers for the cherries and 2 different green papers for the stems/leaves. Both were scrap from my stash.

The sentiment is from Emma's My Creative Time ~~This and That~~ stamp set. This is such a great stamp set with great everyday sentiments.

Not too long ago I watched a video on how to make your own skittles. I gave it a go and made a bunch in different colors using Tim Holtz alchol ink.

I used some watermelon ones for the embellishments on this card.

I also used my favorite white gel pen for some added details on the cherries.

Hope my card, the DT's projects and this great craft room photo gives you lots of inspiration to join into this weeks challenge. Remember you have 2 weeks to link up and join in on the fun!
