CYCI #64 - Yummy Color Challenge

Happy Easter!!!  What a marvelous day to celebrate!  Thanks for joining me for another CanYouCaseIt challenge.  This week we have............(drum roll, please).............

A Color Challenge!!!

I wanted to do a little something different with these colors and highlight the black... I haven't made anything like this before, so I figured what the heck, I'll just roll with it.  That's what a challenge is for, right?  So here's my card:
 
 
 
The black card front is actually chalkboard paper and the butterflies were sponged with a pinkish orangey crisp-cantelope-like-ish chalk ink (I know,...it's a stretch).  It lightens up a lot after it dries, so if you want to try this at home, I would suggest sponging the chalk ink first and letting it dry a little, then sponging the  color that you want on top of the chalk ink.  That's a new segment that I like to call "My Stampin' Tip of the Day!" (Lol!)  The "hello" was die cut using the Hello You thinlets, I punched the butterfly "stencil" using the Bitty Butterfly and finished them off with a few rhinestones, and finished the card with the flower from the Itty Bitty punch pack and some simple white Baker's Twine.
 
Thanks for visiting with me...now head on over to canyoucaseit.com and enter your own cantaloupe-pudding creation for me to see!  While you're there, check out the other designers cards....  Heck, actually just go and check them out anyway!  I've already seen them and they're quite impressive :-) 
 
Hope that you are enjoying/have enjoyed your Easter and I'll see you soon with another paper creation!  TTYL

CYCI#60 Color Challenge

www.canyoucaseit.com


Well this week's card certainly lived up to it's name... it was quite a challenge for me.  I pulled the Wild Wasabi, So Saffron, and Soft Sky cardstock and ink pads from their respective homes and stared at them for awhile.  I wondered what I had gotten myself into by asking to be challenged.  But I persevered and ended up having some fun with it.  At first, the color combo was leaning toward Baby style, but I have already done a few of those recently so I wanted to show a little more versatility.  I remembered an idea that I had for an Easter theme when I was making what I refer to as my "Baby Star card" using the Little Sunshine stamp set.  This week's colors lended themselves to an Easter Egg, so I decided to try it out.  When I cut the oval, it was a little bland, so I gave him some personality.  See what you think:

 
I saw the sentiments from the For Peep's Sake set, and everything just came together when this little guy walked out onto the card.  He's so funny!
 
 
Thanks for checking it out, and I hope you all play along and check out the other designers' great projects for additional inspiration at canyoucaseit.com!  Will these colors will be challenging for you?  Or was I just psyching myself out?  I would love to see what you make, so please post your cards to win that coveted title! 
 
See you next week....
