Tuesday card challenge 2/25/2020

Oh, that's beautiful. So sad - Alzheimers is a horrible disease - but a very sweet caring thing for you to do for her (and her husband too - I'm sure he appreciates it) The cards are lovely. I'll pop over to flickr in a bit so I can inspect them close up! 

All of the color comes from patterned papers. The grey and pink pieces are random papers that a friend gave me, the greens are a double sided cardstock that I inherited from my late MIL's craft stash (one side is the light, the other side dark). I cut this die out of about 5 different papers and I'm mixing and matching them to make multiple cards. I have another version to share once I get the dots on.

The little white dots are Nuvo drops, but I'm not brave enough or confident enough in where to put them so I made my own enamel dots on wax paper and I glue them down. I only have white, black and clear so I was happy the white worked on this card. I don't want to collect all the colors!

It's a great die - a bit fiddly but not bad, and it has a lot of impact. I'm a bit annoyed that I can't use it for my mother though - she's a MUM not a MOM. I'm going to try doing letter surgery but I won't be able to use the frame piece as it is. Gonna try some Franken-crafting! 

Yup! I'm crazy. Luckily the design is very symmetrical so if you mix up some pieces you don't have to find exactly where they originally belonged! I usually lay the second color over the top and poke the pieces through onto the glued spaces. It usually works with a little finessing. 

And I listen to an audiobook while I work!! 

I'm working on the MUM now. 

@kendramage what a fun card! I love the octopuses, and the background is lovely! I’m a huge fan of the pink/purple ocean.

scrapnnana such a pretty baby card. I love the colors. The little banner of onesies is so cute and I like the “snuggle” sentiment.

kitbop thanks for playing along! It looks lovely. It doesn’t look like it was hard, but appearances can be deceiving! The colors do look lovely with your photos. I didn’t really think out the color scheme in terms of whether it made any color wheel sort of sense, but green seems like such a neutral color in nature - it goes with all the flower and sky colors, right?! Judging by your page, I think so. I love the mixed media green background you did and how it sort of fades off at the edges. It goes so well with the photo.

justjac I love that! It’s a great sentiment, and the magic iris is so fun.

Thanks for playing along. Glad to see that you’re back to crafting and tearing through the challenges! 
I love your version of the color combo. For some reason I almost never put my sentiment on the left side but looking at your card I’m wondering why not! Do you have a plan for the card?
