Welcome back to a new challenge at Colorful Options, we were blown away by the number of amazing entries for our July Red, White, Blue theme you certainly know how to make the Design Teams job difficult!
For this month’s challenge, we have another great color theme, and we do hope you will play along.
I made a couple of cards as I just loved the colours.
For my first card, I used once again my favourite oval frame and I still don’t know who makes it as the packaging was discarded. The cover plate die is by Tim Holtz called bubbles I cut it twice coloured with Distress Oxides in Squeezed Lemonade and Twisted Citron and lavishly added glossy accents. foam tape was added to give dimension and then I changed the orientation in order to give a different pattern. A little gem and an idea-ology sentiment was added and there you have it.
For my second card, I used three memory box dies to create this woodland scene using the same distress Oxides as for the above card. The little moo cow is also from Memory box. I added a few splashes of water for good measure and lots of foam tape for dimension.
We do hope you will join us at Colorful Options and check out the fantastic cards from my teammates who will hopefully inspire you to play along.
I’m also playing along with Tuesday Morning Sketches #718
NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff)#53 as my Memory Box die is on its first outing.
Take care

Ah Vicky you are far to kind but I will take it anyway
These are some interesting, very neat cards! I like how you brought the circles to the inside focal point. Thank you for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I love both your designs using the CO brief, Marie, but that cow design really makes me happy! The sediment is perfect to match her contentment! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
