A Pop of Color

It's time once again for a new challenge from the Cardz TV Challenge Go-to Galz. The new challenge is to make a project using black and white with a pop of yellow. This is what I came up with.

My card base is a 5 1/2" X 5 1/2" white card stock card base. I added a black mat cut at 5 3/8" X 5 3/8". Then my patterned paper cut at 5 1/4" X 5 1/4". Next I found a Hexagon shape in the Silhouette store and downloaded it. I used the offset feature in the software to create a shadow layer that I cut from white card stock. I then cut the yellow patterned paper. I attached the hexagon shape to my card base with some foam tape. These were cut at approximately 4 1/4". I cut my bee at 4" and it too is from the Silhouette store. To finish the bee, I used my white gel pen to add some faux stitching. I adhered him to my card front with an action wobble. My sentiment came from the Simply Said CardzTV stamp set. I stamped my sentiment on white card stock with some Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I cut notches at each end. I then adhered it to my yellow card stock which I cut about a 1/4" bigger than my white card stock and again, notched the ends. I adhered my sentiment with some foam tape on each end.

I hope you have found lots of inspiration over at Cardz TV and have decided to play along with us. Mary will be giving away one of her stamp sets, so hurry on over and get your project entered.

Cardz tv Color Challenge

The Design Team at Cardz Tv is having a color challenge. The challenge is to make a  project using Red, Black, and White only. This is what I came up with to enter into the challenge.

I got the XO Tic Tac Toe image  from the Silhouette store and cut it with my Cameo. My card base is white card stock cut and scored to make a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card. I added a red mat cut at 4" X 5 1/4" and then added the black and white patterned paper cut at 3 3/4" X 5.

I cut the image at the size it opened up on the mat which was about 3 1/2". The image cuts an extra X and O besides the heart. I adhered these to the Tic-Tac-Toe game with some foam tape and then added stickles to them. I also added a small bordered bunched with a Martha Stewart scalloped heart punch and topped it with some red and white gingham ribbon. All my patterned paper is from an American Crafts 6" X 6" paper pad. Hope you like it.
