Challenge #202 Use the Color Green

This Weeks Sponsor

Be Wild and Free stamp set

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.


The challenge at FCCB is to make a card using green! I decided to use a tropical green. On the Life's Beach Cartridge I used the special feature key called square cards.  I then put a piece of slightly pattern paper behind the cut to give it the feel of a sky.  I paper pierced around the opening and added some Hibiscus flowers on the corners. Hope you like it!

Bitten By the Bug 2 - Music

Hi this is my Juke Box from the 50's! I used to love to go into old diners and put a quarter in the juke box and play a favorite song!  I made this card using Nifty Fifties it was a ton of small pieces but I love how it turned out!  Come and join our challenge at BBTB2 Music!

Bugaboo

I used copic markers to color the little girl.  The embossed background is by Cuttlebug, the heart border punch is MS.  The sentiment is a stamp from Paper Smooches.

Creative Knockouts - Border Time

We are doing cards with borders and I don't know about you but I just love border punches!!  The hardest part about using them is how to store them!!

I chose this sweet image from Cat's Pajamas.  I know flu season is almost over but it seems to always have one last punch! (pardon the pun)  I made this for a friend who is down with it right now!

I love the digi of the rose!  I printed it twice and colored with my copics.  I then cut the center section of the rose out and popped it on top of the other printed rose so that my rose had some depth! The printed cardstock I used is from DMD - Scribbles. I also entered this card in the Love Rubber Stamp Challenge

Mark's Finest Paper

I wish you could see me right now because I am jumping up and down and thrilled to announce that I was selected as a Senior Design Team Member for Mark's Finest Papers.  I am posting my first card made with the beautifully detailed set called Easter 2014.  I hope you like the card as much as I do.

I used a stencil to create the background and sponged on several colors.  The image I colored with copic markers and then I added a few rhinestones.

Come on over to MFPSpeedyTV and see all the wonderful challenges and tutorials that are available to you!

I have entered this card in the Just for Fun: Easy Challenge,  Totally Paper, Creative Fingers
