Can't Resist Me!

Welcome to another Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop!  Bet you are wondering what's in store after seeing the unique title for today's post.  Well, how about a little COLOR RESIST technique?!

BLOG HOP BADGE MAIN

You should be arriving from Mary Brown’s fabulous blog, wasn’t her idea amazing!  If you are just starting out here, welcome and enjoy the ride!  Be sure to stop by all of the blogs to check out the cool cards we have for you today.

Our mission this week was to use color resist in some way and since I don't have the new Color Me Irresistible DSP,  I went with heat embossed color resist.

Best Thoughts by Be Creative with Nicole

Since watercolor has been something I worked with this week, I combined it with the resist technique and I love the results!

Color resist with Best Thoughts

Having the heat embossed image allowed me to freely add color with my Aqua Painter and ink.  I went right over the edges and added color outside the lines for a soft and pretty look.  There are several layers of color, especially on the flower petals.  I layered Soft Sky all over the card very lightly then went back in with deeper tones of Lost Lagoon and Night of Navy to bring the flower to life.  The stem was layered as well with Wild Wasabi since it coordinated so beautifully with the blues.

Best Thoughts with Color Resist Technique

The toughest part of this card was the sentiment!  I wanted it to be soft and blend in, so I ended up adding a sentiment from Cottage Greetings.   It was heat embossed on a strip of watercolor paper then Lost Lagoon ink was added to make the words visible.  I love how beautiful this card turned out and hope you are feeling inspired!

Now it's time to head over and see what Debbie Henderson has for us today, I know it will be amazing!

Let's get ready for Halloween!

Image
I don't know about you, but I love little treats and decorations for Halloween.  I am already planning out some party ideas that I thought would be fun to share! I've been busy as you can see!  It all started with the thought of doing a banner and I just kept going and going! Each piece of the banner has different stamps and die cuts from the Howl-o-ween Treat bundle and was way more fun to create than I anticipated!  The panels are each 4" x 6" with the banner end hand cut.  I am actually working on a tutorial to release next week with the instructions for the banner and the treats so you can make your own!  UPDATE: YOU CAN FIND THE TUTORIAL HERE! Now let's check out all the treats.  I wanted a variety so there would be something for everyone's taste. I am well known for my chocolate chip cookies, so a cookie envelope was the first idea to come to mind.  They are 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and are just the right size for a cookie!  The envelope punch board mad

Woo Hoo!! Today is Day 6 of Preview Week and it's my turn to give away BLOG CANDY!!  I am super excited to be on the Design Team for the Spring Collection 2015 from Create with Connie and Mary. The new Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog are chock full of great products and we are here to give you great ideas for using them!!  Let me show you my card then I'll tell you more! I'm sure that anyone that follows my blog knows how much I love shaker cards and confetti, so I had to do one for today with a critter!!  The Cheerful Critters set is just so cute I knew it would be great as a shaker. The inspiration came from the December Paper Pumpkin kit that I have made a bunch of cards with.  It was super easy to recreate using the On Film framelits and the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper.  The bear from Cheerful Critters was stamped and colored with blendabilities then fussy cut and glued to the front of the shaker.  A bunch of stars from the Confetti Star Punch an
