Aqua and Brown Trio {Scrapy Land}

Hello, everyone! A special welcome to new google follower Lynn McAuley. It is time for a new Scrapy Land Challenge, and I have 3 cards to share! The Challenge is open until October 12. The theme is ANYTHING GOES using any die manufacturer which Scrapy Land sells. Scrapy Land sells over 40 manufacturers of dies, including overseas products, and most are at a great discount! Color Scheme: Gentle Aqua Blue and Chocolate Brown

NOTICE: My cards are flat for mailing!
No beautiful roses even tho I made them for the cards. (giggle)
(quite a hurdle for me)

My three coordinating cards are inspired by Friend Sandy Lee and artist Beccy Muir who lives Down Under -- Partly because those who live Down Under are leaving the brown-grayness of Winter and moving into Spring, and partly because it is her beautiful Blossom Image used on the cards.

The same colors, sentiments and main die cuts have been used, with slight variations. I hope you like them!

Easel Card Dimensions are 5.5" x 7.5" (A7 card)

TIP: Use a border punch on the top of the base, so when it is opened, it still looks pretty! Below the easel card is closed flat. LOVE the Spellbinders Elegant Labels 4 Die Set. TIP: How to create dimension without increasing postage costs: Horizontal Card with Pop Up on the inside:

Girl Friend Sandy Lee gave me an interior pop-up die cut on this pretty chocolate and blue paper. The word "hello" did not show up very well, so it has been covered with Sparkle N Sprinkle Jasper Blue Micro Fine Glitter. The sides have been embossed with SNS Brown Fizz embossing powder. Beccy's Flowers have been adorned with prill-filled centers and die cut leaves (from gray vellum and designer paper to match the background). Boo-Boo time! Vertical A7 Card:

I love showing off my boo-boos. In the card below, I ran out of the Chocolate Brown Cardstock! YIKES! So the first photo seems like the dark aqua is the "base of the card". But actually, the dark aqua is the folded portion of the card. It is sitting on the remnant piece 5.5" x 7.5" brown cardstock. Who says the base has to be the part that opens? It can just be a frame for your pretty card as shown below: Above, the card appears to have a brown card base. But below, when it is open, we can see that only the back side of the card is framed in brown. Definitely a great tip when using expensive paper, or if we happen to run out of a needed color.

Hallo liebe Donna,

deine drei Karten sind wunderschön geworden. Die Farbkombination türkis/braun sieht ganz besonders edel aus. Wunderschöne Schablonen hast du verwendet. Ich bin begeistert von deiner Arbeit.
Ganz liebe Knuddelgrüße Hugs Silvi Jean Bullock said...

Awww, come on, show us REAL boo boos, lol. Those aren't boo boos, those are "spontaneous designs." I coined that phrase in my first year of teaching art.

Oh, I love these cards and the flowers are such a lovely shape and so beautifully colored. I am crazy about die cutting so you can just imagine how I enjoyed these beautiful cards. And for an extra dose of delight, one was a pop up! You know how I LOVE those. Well done. I pinned! http://www.pinterest.com/pin/415386765605148077/ 
Stunning Stunning Stunning Donna!!!!
What fabulous creations you have design, love the colours, dies and gorgeous layouts..
tip.. I use my ink pads to colour card, if I have`nt got a colour I want..
hugs pam 
I adore each and every one of these creations! I first saw them on FB but they sure are even more beautiful in the photos on the blog. I love those colors. Fantastic work my friend! UTs Hobby Time said...

Gorgeous cards. Colors are amazing. I love how you combined your dies. You are so creative. 
Wow, what an amazing collection of gorgeousness! Fabulous! 
Everyone of your cards are just so stunning. I love each one. These colors go just fantastic together. Stunning flowers. I see you do the inside and I love that, a card is not finished until the inside is done. Love the added vellum, add the touch of elegance.
Hugz from Wisconsin, Patricia
rubber stamping is my game blog 
These are all so stunning, Donna! That particular color combo is one of my favorites. Can you believe they were my mother's high school colors? Love the flowers and the tip for getting dimension without a lot of bulk. I want to do the challenge this time but admit to being confused. Over on the Scrapy Land blog, one place it just says name brand dies but in another it says Heat Embossing, too. Or was that just an inadvertent left over from the previous challenge? Reusing Cards & Quilling said...

Beautiful card set Donna !This color combo is very different nd look fab on your cards,loved the diamond pp n diecuts layered over it ! blue blooms are lovely and even after having all this the cards are flat :) 
Donna, your cards are absolutely beautiful!! You have done an amazing job colouring the blossoms, the depth of the shading is gorgeous. I especially love the way you have coloured those leaves, the slight bluish tinge works perfectly with the blossoms. Well done on all of them! 
Love these cards

Another gorgeous filigree beauty on this one. The color combo is so pretty. Loved seeing how you made each different folded card (one of my weakness is doing this technique). So thanks so much for showing the pictures. Also loved seeing your 'boo-boo' because it's not what I'd term a boo-boo at all! You had a challenge which you met superbly and created yet another stunning design from the challenge. Love ALL of these cards, and I love that particular S/B die as well. So elegant. Happy wkend, and big hugs. TFS 
Thanks for all of this wonderful inspiration! Each card has it's own special elements, but I love the colors, dies, and especially the sentiment on the first card! Beautiful!! 
Lovely cards, and I really like the colors that you used! 
It was so good to hear from you Donna! I adore these pretty cards with all the pretty die details and LOVE the colors! ♥ Sue Kment

Beautiful cards and love the colour combo-beautiful dies and flowers 
These are completely amazing, Donna, and I always marvel at what you manage to accomplish, and with such great detail! There's plenty of pretty here, but so much more, too, in the engineering of the design for each card. Among the many other delightful details I just love the "Hello" pop up! Gorgeous flowers and such a warm color combo. You do inspire me! 
Donna, I am totally dazzled and enthralled with your cards. You are just amazing with your step by step instructions. I have said before that visiting your blog is like getting personalized card technique lessons. I LOVE that!!!! Thanks for sharing your amazing creations and for always having a kind word for everyone!!!
 
WOW! These are gorgeous!!!

Hi Donna, such gorgeous designs in beautiful colours. Your cards are always so feminine and beautiful with the layers and flowers, love them ! Sorry I've been MIA I've had family visiting for a while. Take good care, Shirleyxx 
I forgot to mention (shame on me) that I was the recipient of the boo boo card. I loved how it was put together and never guessed it wasn't part of the design. I knew these three cards were beautiful, but having one at my house is the cherry on the cake!!! Thank you Donna.
