You're the Zest

I had to ink up one more before the day was through...

 stamps: Altenew Main Squeeze

 I let one fall in ;)

The July 2018 Inspiration Challenge at Altenew had me think,

 

 

why not?

I kept it simple with one layer of citrus image in each color:

Squeeze the Day

I recently attended a stamp show....WOW it was magical!

It wasn't huge, but enough to tempt and keep me entertained for 2 hours.

This set has been on my list for awhile now-

NOT an impulse buy is all I'm saying.

 stamps and dies: Altenew Main Squeeze other: Nuvo Drops,Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets

~Beachy Colors & Angled Layers~

stamps: Papertrey Ink What the Doodle Snowflakes, Our Daily Bread Designs Snowy Blessings  dies: Papertrey Ink What the Doodle Snowflakes,Memory Box Pinpoint Main Street Tag, My Favorite Things Peek a Boo Wonky Windows  Other:Copics for coloring and Nuvo drops

I took Time Out #114 colors out for another spin since there are scraps all over my desk in these shades! 

:)

 I decided to go Christmas since it will be here before we know it and I'll be knee deep in parent school stuff.

 

This card has layers and angles galore!

I went crazy on this one~I always have one Christmas card that I can "go for broke" as we say in Hawaii. :)

 I have a friend who's a graphic arts major, and she appreciates when I experiment and break traditional framing.

I've always admired brave clothing designers, especially Vera Wang because of her breakthrough asymmetrical designs.

She was angling and experimenting way before other designers picked it up.

Now hemlines like shark bite and hi-lo are acceptable even in kid's clothing!

I love it and hope that trend continues.

Thanks for the visit today!

This card came out way cleaner than I intended for

Make It Monday #330: Repeating the Greeting

 hosted by Lizzie Jones

stamps and dies: Papertrey Ink What the Doodle Snowflakes

I had way more going on until I decided to strip it all away.

 I left the focus on sentiments and snowflakes for a CAS effect.

I repeated the greeting on the left border in different colors.

Thanks for stopping in!
