Colorful Options


I am making cards for fall as it is my favorite time of the year. But I am lucky to be leaving on a spectacular vacation. 
This will be a quick post. 
I just saw a challenge that was inviting, and I made a card for it. 



It is the colorful Options Challenge for September 2023
Outrageous Orange. 

Here is my card. 


Something new and something old for this one. I am currently shopping in my stash!
Gina K Tangerine Twist card stock
Pinkfresh Rounded and braded Rectangles
Pumpkin die from a friend, Leaves for my desktop
Mushrooms are Memory Box, Mushrooms, and toadstools.
(I love this die and have had it for many years and just now have been using them.)



A close look at the Shrooms. I wish that you could see the sparkle on the leaves. 
I am entering this card in the Colorful Options Challenge.

Color Hues #71



Today's card is for Color Hues showing the above colors. 
Here is my card. 



I love these fall colors 
I used Gina K Tangerine Twist card stock
The die cuts are from a friend, and I don't know that manufacture. 
I used Distress ink in Dusty Concord. I added Nuvo drops for accent. 
The grid frame in the background is a die from Amazon. Before cutting the grid die, I used an embossing folder that I got with my 
Gemini machine. I ran the ink pad over the top. 
Hello die in gold is Poppy Stamps die. 


For the inside, I used the same leaf die and did an embossing with it and then
 used some of the same colors.

I am entering this card in the Color Hues Challenge #71

Can you Handle the Pressure?


Because I love Poppies, and decided to make a card with them, I am entering this card in the current
Can you Handle the pressure with an option of Poppies

Quickly, here is my card. 


For this card I used the embossing folder from Pink and Main called Plaid. After embossing on white card stock, I sponged black ink over the raised parts. Then added my stamped and die cut poppies from My Favorite Things called Flowe3rs in Bloom. The Hello die cut is also MFT. 
You can find the challenge HERE
This time the option is Poppies!
