Lunar New Year July
Hi there crafty friends, it's Tracey here with you today sharing my July card for the Lunar New Year Challenge. Check out this months sponsors below.
I used products from Catherine Pooler for today's card. My background was created with Catherine Pooler's red rubber Fan Dance Background stamp. It was stamped with Catherine Pooler Pebble Dye Ink. I chose to trim the panel down to 4.25 " square so the orientation would work with the rest of my design.

Color Hues Challenge #113
Happy Canada Day!
and
Happy Birthday Mom! My mom is 94 today!
Today is the start of a brand new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge!
I'm your hostess this challenge and in honor of Canada Day the colors for challenge #113 are Red & White! When it came time to create my original plan did not work out. Do you ever have one of those days when the bet laid plans just do not work--lol!
So the move from ink blending to coloured cardstock and a quick turn to the left and here we have it a new design! In honour of the holiday I made a Canada flag that is a bit wonky and fun.

f you haven't already visited the Color Hues Color Challenge Blog I hope you stop by and see what my fabulous teammates have created for the challenge.
Thanks so much for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create!

Color Hues Challenge 112
Today is the start of a brand new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge!
Teammate Stephanie has chosen Peach and Cobalt as the colors for challenge #112! I wasn't sure which direction I was going to go, but I recently got the Lawn Fawn Backyard Birdfeeder stamp set and the Build-a-Birdfeeder dies in my possession and thought what a great time to use them!
I started by cutting all the pieces from the build-a-birdfeeder dies. The actually bird feeder was stamped, cut and coloured with Copic markers. Then there were 5 white birdfeeders cut and glued together to make the well to hold the seed. The two birds were cut from dark blue cardstock and shaded with Copic markers.
The frame is an old MFT Stamps die that I cut with the peach gold flecked Lawn Fawn Spiffier Speckles 6 x 6 paper pad!
Next the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Backyard Birdfeeder stamp set, stamped with Catherine Pooler Dress Blues ink. Then I attached the base of the birdfeeder inside the frame. Next the well was loaded up with some sunflower seeds from the Build-a-Birdfeeder dies and Studio Katia Gold Dust Seed Beeds.
The top of the birdfeeder had a clear acetate piece adhered behind it and it was placed on the top of the feeder and its contents.
The two blue birds were attached using a combination of liquid adhesive and small foam dots!

Color Hues Challenge #111
Today is the start of a brand new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge!
Teammate Sheri Gilson has chosen Coral and Green as the colors for challenge #111!
I used one of my favourite sets from PinkFresh Studios called Amazing Things. I stamped then stencilled the image with the co-ordinating stencils using Cathrine Pooler inks--Garden Party, Martini, Do-Si-Do, Coral Cabana and Samba. The image was die cut with the Amazing Things dies.
The background was embossed using the Spellbinders Plaid Company detailed embossing folder. I love the way it looks with the flower in front of it.
The sentiment is from Waffle Flower's Essential Sentiments. It is a go to set for me. I love all the sentiments and the size is perfect for most designs. I stamp and cut multiple sentiments as well as the shadows so they are handy to add a quick sentiment or a layered sentiment to a project.
Including the top the sentiment is three layers thick. I glued it down slightly over the leaf just so you see a peek of it through the tiny hold under the H of happy.
I'm also submitting this one to the Seize the Birthday challenge. I really need to get making birthday cards for all types of recipients. I can never seem to have the one I need! 😉

Color Hues Color Challenge #110
Hi there crafty friends!
Today is also the start of a brand new colour duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge! Teammate Karen Walker has chosen Pink and Plum as the colors for challenge #110!
I used my newest Concord & 9th turnabout stamp called Artisan Petals. The four colours I used were all Catherine Pooler Inks--Cotton Candy, It's a Girl, Sangria and Merlot.
I cut the design with the largest of the Lawn Fawn Outside In stitched rectangles and added it to the card base with liquid adhesive.
The sentiment is from the same stamp set an I white embossed it on a piece of pink cardstock that seemed to work the best with these ink colours. I trimmed it down and added it to the centre of the card front with foam tape.
