Color My Heart

Color My Heart has a new challenge using the colors Ruby, Twilight & Olive.
Here is the card I made:

I used the 2" scalloped circle punch for the flower shapes...then I used a heart punch for the inner center of the flowers - attaching them with dimensionals to give them a little pop (using Ruby, Twilight & Olive cardstock.)
I then stamped on the butterfly, bird and Sending Warm Wishes greeting from The Garden stamp set, using ruby, olive and twilight inkpads.

Am entering this into their Color My Heart Challenge # 52 Color Dare using Ruby, Twilight & Olive

Rise - Combi Challenge

Made this digi ATC card for the challenge at We-R-Soto's Forum
I used her products and part of the song lyrics.
The song is Rise by the McClain Sisters

Lyrics:

I used to be afraid of giving up
The road is just too tough
Out here on my own
My path was so alone

But now I see clearly
Everything within me
Is reaching up to the sky
I can see the world with open eyes

You can’t let it pass you
Just take hold and grasp it
Now’s the time to take a chance
With the strength of a thousand men
Climbing to my feet again

So dry those tears from your eyes
And everything will be alright
You know the rainbow’s just in sight
Dust your wings off as you rise
If your heart feels overwhelmed
Just know you’re never by yourself
Put your hand in mine, put your head up high
And together we’ll rise

Rise and lift your head up to the sky
And find yourself asking why?
Never seem out of life
With the hardships of life

But faith is where my heart is
That energy replaces my doubts
When my trials get the best of me
I’m marching forth towards my destiny

You can’t let it pass you
Just take hold and grasp it
Now’s the time to take a chance
With the strength of a thousand men
Climbing to my feet again

So dry those tears from your eyes
And everything will be alright
You know the rainbow’s just in sight
Dust your wings off as you rise
If your heart feels overwhelmed
Just know you’re never by yourself
Put your hand in mine, put your head up high
And together we’ll rise

Together we can do anything
We’ll rise
We can make it through anything
We’ll rise
Together we can do anything
We’ll rise, we’ll rise, we’ll rise

You can try to hurt me
Doubt me and desert me
I’ll feel the will of kings
With my mind I’ll plant a seed

And you know a tree will grow
And take me in
To safety’s arms
I will descend

So dry those tears from your eyes
And everything will be alright
You know the rainbow’s just in sight
Dust your wings off as you rise
If your heart feels overwhelmed
Just know you’re never by yourself
Put your hand in mine, put your head up high
And together we’ll rise

Together we can do anything
We’ll rise
We can make it through anything
We’ll rise
Together we can do anything
We’ll rise, we’ll rise, we’ll rise

Together we can do anything
We’ll rise
We can make it through anything
We’ll rise
Together we can do anything
We’ll rise, we’ll rise, we’ll rise

A couple more ATC's I made

Ice Cream Birthday Card

Made this birthday card using CTMH Chantilly Papers, Markers, Punch & Seam Binding.
For the bowl I used distressed ink on the paper - added a variety of color markers for the candy look - then 
made the cherry for the top...coloring that in with a marker.
Stamped the Happy Birthday To You! on the bowl using Cranberry Ink.

Sweet Life

Made this {Live The} Sweet Life card using CTMH Sweet Life stamp set.

Then added CTMH Glitter Gems to the corners.
