Color Challenge and Teapot Challenge

 Hey Everybody,

Diane's color challenge today was to use lemon lolly, granny apple green and flirty flamingo with the option of using flowers. You can find it here. 

I stamped my background by using different combinations of lemon lolly, flirty flamingo, granny apple green and stamping off to make it look like more different colors.

Then I stamped three large flowers and cut them out. I added them to my card with dimensionals so I'd have room to add my green and white stems around the flowers.
I stamped the sentiment in black and added this to a black card base to make it stand out. This will go on a patient dinner tray at a local hospital.

Take a look at these colors of lemon lolly, flirty flamingo and granny apple green. What would you make with these colors? The use of flowers is optional with this challenge.

Jen's challenge to us was to make woodland creatures. Her challenge can be found here.

I stamped, colored and die cut the squirrels and leaves. I dry embossed the white piece that holds the wheel and the designer paper at the top. I used mossy meadow ink directly on the white panel to give it color and texture. I added the squirrel to the circle and added the circle with a glue dot. I attached the pennies to the yellow circle with a glue dot. I used two mini-dimensionals between the pennies. That made the pennies spin easily. I'm going to have to remember this when I do this again.
I added the second squirrel in the center of the card surrounded by leaves and holding his acorn and sign.
This will go to 5 year old Jeffrey who has had major surgery. I hope he has fun playing with this.

You know, it's so great to be able to make cards for others that are in need. I especially love to do this for kids. I don't know this child, but someone here on Splitcoaststampers asked people to make cards for him. He's 5 and non-verbal and autistic. He recently had surgery. I thought a card that moves would be a great thing for this little guy. I feel blessed to be able to do this for others. No, I don't know them, but I don't have to know them. I don't even have to know if they liked the card. I just make and send them knowing God will do what is needed with each and every card I make.

What do you do with the cards you make?

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope to see you again soon.

Blessings,

Sue
