MIM 286 Coordinating Card Pairs

Hi friends!  I am up here in Seattle with my BFF and having fun with some new techniques and playing hard!  I came up for my granddaughter's volleyball tournament at the U of W.  Her team took first place in the Bronze division of the Emerald City Classic...super accomplishment as they had two girls quit before coming up here.  But they played great together and had an awesome time...always helps to go home winners though!

This card is for the new MIM # 286 Coordinating Card pairs... using the same image on two different cards...one is stamped the other is die cut.

Stamps and dies: Life is Beautiful, Beautiful Butterflies (sentiment).

I brought with me some Deco foil transfer gel and some Gina K Fancy foils and some Foil Mates.
We had fun using the laminater and making lots of card faces with the shiny foil.

Gina K foil mates: elegant florals, wild lilac (color) which doesn't photograph very well. and WPlus9 Modern Anemones.

Gina K:  Polka Party, turquoise sea, Fail Mate: Birthday Essentials

Gina K elegant florals, Poppy stamp:  Friends & Flowers..bow from Linda's ribbon stash!

Gina K: Polka Party and a light sea green foil from Linda's stash, PTI Gran's Garden, Graceful Greetings

That's it friends!  Thanks for stopping by and visiting!

                                                                  Hugs, friends!

Colour Q Challenge # 239

I laid down some painters tape on two sides and then sponged on my colors,

sure looks bolder and brighter in the picture than it is in real life?

I used PTI Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet, and Orange Zest

the image and sentiment were done in Ripe Avocao.

I mounted it on a ripe avocado card base.

 

 

You can go HERE  to play along.

Thanks for taking a look!
And we have sun and warmth!
Suppose to be in the 80's for the next few days!!

Heart hugs,
Colleen

Do you see that we get to pick our second color for this challenge?  Well, there is nothing like purple and green...love it!  If you want to select your own color and play along, go HERE to the Dynamic Duos Blog and show us what you like to pair up with the plum color!

I had a group of ladies over for lunch (we all went on a pilgrimage to Medjugorje, Croatia three years ago) last week and they bought some of my cards...all the sympathy's and the praying for you cards all left with them!  Is it that time of our life where we are in more need of those cards?  Sad to think about.  But I thought I should start adding to my stash.
