Sending Happy Thoughts

Honey Butter is a great Thanksgiving color and Sapphire is

one of my favorite colors. So have a Happy and Blessed Day.

A Triple Play

At Color My Heart

This was quite a challenge. First I had to go into my retired stacks

 to find my Carolina CS. My Sangria CS was still handy and

 Flamingo is with my current cardstocks. I used the water brush 

with the ink pads to color the scarf and hat on my polar bear. 

It's always fun to go back with retired colors. 

Carolina is one of my favorites. Thanks Color My Heart.

Tic Tac Toe Time

Mt granddaughters are back to school teaching those little ones.

Stamping Fun at Heart 2 Heart

Meets Color My Heart Fun

The inspirational photo below gives us a fun mixing of colors for 

a specialty stamped card. I used the pinks, purples, and greens 

for my card. To get the blended ink colors on the flowers 

 use the re-inkers on a baby wipe to make a mixed colored ink pad.

 Fold your baby wipe into a 4" square. Place on a 4" block.  

Add a few drops of re-inker on the wipe and use like an ink pad. 

Use this inspirational photo to create a stamped project 

and share at Heart 2 Heart and/or Color My Heart.

Shades of Brown

Nature Tells the Story

of the browns in life. I'm not a fan of the color brown

 but the peaceful brown at the beach gives me pause.

The browns of the beach with the blue of the sky gives

us a peaceful and restful day. Enjoy your day at the beach.

Shades of brown with the blues of nature.

Smiles from the Garden

With a Garden Butterfly

and some garden posies

From the bird below I chose a blue, green and pink, one of my favorite color combinations.

The colors are Lagoon, Sage, and Flamingo. With the butterfly symbolizing new life the sentiment reads each day is a new beginning. With all the Covid confusion these days it's nice to know that each day is a new beginning. Happy Day to all who visit my blog. Jody.

A Postal Greeting

With Love

I was inspired by Melanie Richards with her

Crazy 8 card at Color My Heart.

After seeing her card I remembered I too had a set of floral die cuts that I had not used yet, so I wanted to give it a try. I used the colors Flamingo, Blue Belle, Mink, and New England Ivy along with some Black Burst embellishments I also used a stamp set from way back, Post Card-Travel Series. So, now I'm ready to send some Love with a postal greeting.

Come play Crazy 8 with us at Color My Heart.

It's Tic Tac Toe Time

At Color My Heart

Using the Tic Tac Toe board below from Color My Heart I used the bottom row for my card: Glacier, Mink, and Sapphire. I had to go way back to find some BTP papers with Sapphire and Mink. I did use the mink papers in the current mix-in paper pack. I really like the combination of Mink with Sapphire so I just added a touch of Glacier for an accent color. The Mink flower is a White Daisy flower sponged with the Mink ink pad.

Color Wheel

At Color My Heart

The challenge at Color My Heart using the Color Wheel was a real challenge. I went to the CTMH color wheel at Make it From Your Heart to see which CTMH colors fit into the color wheel at Color My Heart. I finally decided on Sundance(from Yellow-Orange), Lemonade(from Yellow), and Green Apple(from Yellow-Green). I also used my favorite sentiment from Friendship is a Blessing stamp set  along with the new tags from the Mix In paper pack. The flowers are stamped with Sundance ink on Lemonade cardstock and the leaves are stamped on the light side of Green Apple with Green Apple ink.

Be sure to share your Color Wheel project at Color My Heart.
