crafty creations challenge #100

Hi all, I have a difficult time with color challenges and this one was definitely  tops the list, not only a color challenge there is a sketch challenge and use something recycled.
also with this challenge I wanted to make a light contrasting shadow instead of the normal dark,
I also was getting frustrated looking for 3 buttons to match, you would think with all the buttons I remove from old shirts I would be able to fine a set.....not to be found....then I saw these tiny specks mixed in with the buttons and I found an eye for the bird.
the yellow bead for the eye is recycled
plum, blue (berry), crumb beige, cherry red (optional)
you will find the sketch and color challenge here...

I used Home decor for the bird, wild card for the Hi  and George for the circle and a MS punch along with my design studio.

cardabilities sketch #9

this morning I found this new blogger spot  (new to me) and thought the sketch was something I would like to try, couldn't sleep, so why not, I even had everything cut before going to church,
since I have been making my Christmas cards with different sketches ...I saw ornaments in the corners and garlin in the center,,,
you will find sketch here..

Cricut Storybook K pg. 38 circle 4 3/4 real dial  size
scalloped 5 1/2" I in shadow p.36 real dial size
Home Decor dragonfly @ 2 1/4" in shadow, blackout and base.
I have seen this circle and scalloped used as a big flower so I thought I would give it  a try
I did not want to put the 1/2 on the inside so I made 2
lots of inking and little gems for the eyes

                                       the inside, I like to off center once in awhile and show off the
                                                   paper a little bit more,,, I think it works

Donna N's BD card

This was also scrap-lifted from Shelly, (not bad for remembering only 1/2 of it,  she used butterflies, me-flowers, she used the shadow feature, not me, I thought there was a strip of paper behind the bird... there was not.
hers is tall and mine square.       but I like mine, and that is okay; with me...

2 1/2" circle frame from Cricut Home Decor
bird @ 1 1/2" blackout and base
made 2 because of the cut background

the inside

 

                                                                      

My Pink Stamper color challenge

Make a project using your Cricut and the colors Pink, Green, and Black!!
I used Home Decor dragonfly @ 3" in base, blackout and shadow, Isn't she lovely!!
pop dotted the wings, inked w/colorbox pheasant gold and Verve stamps
the flower is part of the paper....finished size   5 1/2" square.

                                                    I wanted to keep the inside clean looking....

                                                       hope you like!!  Carol<><

Just Buggin' challenge # 25 black & white

 at Just Buggin' this challenge was to use black and white only on your cricut project
The cricut   cuts are Home decor Hope @ 1 3/4"
and indie art cross @ 2" (inside)
MS round the corner punch I started with a  5 inch square for the white and it worked perfectly
for the small my first try was a 3inch but it was a bit too small so I tried a 3 1/4 inch square and it worked out great,   if I did my math right the next size larger will be at 6 3/4 but I have not tried yet.
