Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #36: Color Recipe - Magenta, Olive & Teal


It's time for color, beautiful oh, so lovely color at Tuesday Alchemy!
You can use one, two or all three along with neutrals.
If you use all three, you can earn an extra entry (See blog for details.)

Our sponsors are Di's Digi Downloads and Broken Box Designs.

I chose to use one color because teal is just one of my favorites. What's your favorite color? Is it any that are in the challenge this week?

{ IDEA }

Alter your chipboard shapes, especially if you need them to fit with your scheme or theme like I did with this house shape.

Emboss it! I removed a layer of the chipboard backing, so it would be thinner & would accept the embossing better.
Paint it! I distressed it with teal paint to bring more teal into the look of it and add extra detail.
Embellish it! Add embellishes to it like these silver brads & grosgrain ribbon.

{PIN}spirational Challenge #29: Photo - Kissing Cuties


Aaww . . . Isn't that just so cute? Does it inspire you? Well, I definitely hope so because this is our newest photo challenge at {PIN}spirational Challenges.

Need an extra push? You can create any project that inspired by the photo. Think: yellow, blue, red, black & white. Or why not love & kisses? There is a variety options, so go ahead & explore your creativity!

Our sponsor is The Digi Garden. While I didn't use an image from them this time around, I have before & they make perfectly wonderful creations, so I invite you to check 'em out.

Wicked

I have been on a mission. I wanted to use up all of my Halloween supplies, especially since they are over a year old. It was fun . . . well, the first three or four, but I'm getting towards the end. Ok, maybe not the end of my supplies, but definitely the end of making Halloween cards!

I have a stack of them already in their envelopes, sealed & ready to be sent, but I still have many more to give AND make.

Do you send out Halloween cards? I usually don't. My mission is making me do it :)

For this card, I decided to make it look like a wrapped present - complete with tag. I had accidentally got a little smudge of purple ink on the bow, so I smeared the ink about the rest of the ribbon. Very shabby chic, wouldn't you say?
