DCBD Challenge #4

Hey everyone! This is my weekly Wednesday challenge for the Diva’s  Coffee Break Design team. This week it was a color challenge and boy was it a tough one. For those of you that know me well, these are not my colors at all! I am more of a chocolate chip/pink pirouette or chocolate chip/ baja breeze girl. I had a very hard time coming up with something in these 4 colors, but I finally did. I don’t think I have used my garden green pad in about 5 years. It was totally dry when I opened it! I hope you like what I came up with. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think of it.

For this card, I punched out a circle from a postit note and stuck it while I brayered Summer Sun across the paper, Then I took a sponge and sponged Pumpkin Pie all over. I removed the postit circle and lightly sponged a little bit in the circle. I then stamped the Garden Green grass from the Inspired by Nature set. Lastly I stamped the words in Riding Hood Red. I wanted the words over the sun a little more but I did that last and I wasn’t about to do the whole card over again. I hope you like it. Make sure you check out the rest of the diva designers…. the list is under the coffee cups in my sidebar.

DCBD Challenge #103

  This is the 3rd Diva’s Coffee Break Design Challenge. We had to design a card that matched this design. I hope you like the one I came up with. Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I used crystal effects on the flower to make it shimmer. I am really having fun doing these challenges! I just wish I had more time to do it!

DCBD challenge #102

This is my 2nd design challenge for the Diva Coffee Break Design group. It is supposed to say #102 in the 1st photo but I couldn’t edit it so let’s just pretend that it does.  We had to use the 5 colors given to create any card we wanted, so I chose one that I have been demoing this month and just changed the colors. How easy peasy is that?  And, here is the card that I came up with…..drum roll please…….

For the cardstock, I used close to cocoa, so saffron, bravo burgundy, and always artichoke (regular and DSP). For the ink, I used the baby wipe technique for the leaves with ink refills in cameo coral, so saffron and bravo burgundy. The Season of Friendship set is one of my favorites now. You can do so much with it! I hope you like my card. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think. Why don’t you try the challenge for yourself and see what you can come up with??  Tune in next Wed. to see what my next challenge will be. Also, don’t forget to click on the link in my sidebar (under the coffee cups)  to see what all the other Coffee Break Divas came up with. I am sure you will love them!

DCBD Challenge #101

I was recently asked to join a group of talented demos called the "Diva’s Coffee Break Designs BLOG TEAM". Each week we are assigned a card design challenge and have to come up with a card using that design. Here is the blank sketch and then underneath that is my card. I used the Upsy Daisy set and the Chocolate chip DSP to create this one. Check out the other girls in this group. Their blogs are listed in my sidebar under the coffee cup.  Why don’t you give this design challenge a try and see what you can come up with??
