Inspired By Blog Challenges - Mojo Monday #332 & FCCB #197

Got in some crafting time today & focused on a card I needed to make for a wedding reception.  I looked toward the Mojo Monday's #332 challenge for my design and as a bonus, it is perfect for the FCCB #197 challenge - "I Heart You."  Their colors are Tiffany blue, Silver and White.  So with the below sketch to inspire me, check out the card I created for them. :)

I have been itching to create something with a white-on-white over tone...it's in and it's outside my normal thought process, so this was the perfect chance to just try it!  I used an overlay from the Artbooking Cricut Cartridge.  The tag came from Artbooking as well and the Glitter Paper heart was cut from Art Philosophy. "Congrats" is stamped on a tag from the Artiste Cricut Cartridge.  The fun thing about this card ... ok, so maybe another fun thing ... is that the border piece behind the tag is a 1" cut from one of the pieces out of the MyCrush Besties Assortment.  These are such great accent pieces to use!

Hope you liked my card & hope my friends like it to!  LMK if you have questions about any of the products I used.

Inspired by Blog Challenges - Muse #49

What can I say?  I might be a blog challenge addict now... cuz the crafty mojo and inspiration I get from them is exhilarating!! =P

I kept going back and forth with the Muse #49 challenge (above) for the week and as I flipped through the Artiste Cricut Cartridge image book, it clicked.  I wanted something a bit different than the traditional sun and the image (pg 79 Accent 3) fit what I was looking for:

Thinking of a simple but bright and fun color palette, I pulled out a Dream Pop B&T paper {retired 2013 promo paper} to cut my "sun" out on the Cricut.  For contrast, I used the Lagoon Washi Tape and as a softer tone for sunlight and brightness, I used the Honey Triangles Washi Tape (backed with White Daisy cardstock to make it pop more) for the runners. Same colors stamped for the Happy Birthday sentiment, raised with 3D tape.  To finish the card, I added some bling from the Sparkles Assortment.

I am also tying this card to another blog challenge, one that a fellow CTMH consultant, Pamela O'Connor, is a design team member for - Fantabulous Circut Challenge #192.

Hope you like my card as much as I do!! Thanks for stopping by.
