ODB Designs July Challenge

Today's card was inspired by this month's Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge. The challenge was to think "cool" and use colors from the cool side of the color wheel.  I thought of these decorative papers from Papertrey Ink right away, and decided to add an additional cool factor to the card by combining a phrase from this century ("LOL" from Scrappy Moms) with a character from the last century (Charlie Chaplin by Stampers Best).





I layered with "New Leaf" from PTI, and added some interest with a precious bit of blue chevron May Arts ribbon that I received from Sandy as an OWH prize (THANKS!). The brad is from SU! It's hard to see in the photo, but I backed everything with a white card base. Here's a second version with a different sentiment from Scrappy Moms. 



I hope you can link up a cool card to this challenge, as Our Daily Bread Designs will cover shipping on a box of OWH cards for every 25 cardmakers that play!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look! Stay cool, people! :)

Blessings,

ODBD Challenge: Animals!

The theme of the ODBD Challenge on the OWH Stars and Stamps blog for the month of April is to make cards with animals.  I LOVE critter cards, don't you? If we have 50 cards linked to this challenge, Our Daily Bread Designs will pay the shipping on two boxes of cards to our deployed troops.  PLUS - they have a drawing and two lucky winners will receive $25 gift certificates to their online store.  I hope you will play along!

Here is a card I made using my new "Meow" Cricut cartridge.

I fashioned the cute kitty after my grand-cat Stanley using my copic markers. Designer paper is from Paper Trey Ink, card stock is from Stampin' Up and I picked up the ribbon at Michael's.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.  This was a fun card to make, and I can't wait to make some more cards with this cartridge! So many critters....so little time!

Thanks for stopping by to take a look!  Have a meow-velous day!
