A New Challenge

  • by

I found a new card challenge blog this week—as if I need another one—but the current challenge is one of my favorite techniques, so you’ll probably see a couple of cards for it before the time expires. Just Us Girls is looking for cards with die cut windows.

My first share is a card made with one of the images I colored for the #100DayProject. There were several days when I needed a smaller project for coloring and this beautiful magnolia from Altenew’s “Magnolias For Her,” fit the bill. I watercolored it and then fussy cut it out.

The die cut heart (My Favorite Things) was backed with a piece of black and white diagonally striped paper, also from My Favorite Things. I stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s “Thank You Kindly” set, and adhered it to a white card base with dimensional tape.

Finally I attached the magnolia to the bottom of the heart.  I love this clean and simple design, and the contrast between the beautiful pinks and the black and white stripes.

It’s been fun designing some challenge cards this week after focusing on coloring images for so many days lately.
