This time we are also doing a Double Trouble crossover too. So if you can include Plaids, polka dots, checkers or stripes then you can also add to the Double Trouble Challenge #91 too. 

 I didn't manage to include the bonus extras to my card because I was rushing to complete my 90th Birthday card so that it would reach the recipient by their birthday. 

I used Cricut Design space and created my own card design and used that great new cricut design space offset feature to get the inside shapes. I cut the white for the inside too. 

The card was for a 90 year old gentleman so we wanted it to be in masculine colours. It was my mum's friend so I asked her to pic the colours. She chose 

Blue Belle Cardstock, Sundance Cardstock and Cinnamon Cardstock. 

The awesome part about design space was we played with the colours to decide which colour would be which. We decided that the Sundance yellow made the best for the largest seen part, Blue belle inside and around the edge with the cinnamon red colour as the top and we played with the word celebrate to see which colour to choose... we tried Blue Belle in the click and change colours. Much quicker than actually cutting them and then deciding. 

The Celebrate and banner came from Cricut® Artbooking Digital Collection so you will need to have the artbooking collection before you can open the 90th Birthday card in cricut design space. 

If you would like to use my template the Cricut design Space file is attached HERE

I added the black ink for some size comparison

The sundance colour fits with the colour almost the same as the Manilla envelope that I got from the post office. I chose to do the sizing to fit in the envelope and it did. 

We were sent a photo from the 90th birthday card recipients son with the photos we had sent and the letter. I've cropped it small for privacy but I wanted to show the inside and that it was well received. 

Thanks so much for dropping by to check out my latest project. Hope you can join in the Colour My Heart Colour Dare Challenge #458 and the Double Trouble Challenge #91 too. I'm really interested to hear what you think about my cricut card, so I'd love you to leave a comment. See you again soon, subscribe to my blog so you don't miss a challenge.

Colour Dare #456 Colour Wheel Complementary Colours

 

Our Colour Dare Challenge for #456 is an Colour wheel complementary colours (opposite sides of the colour wheel), you are free to use Black, White, neutrals and gold. When you are creating for more than one challenge please make sure your project meets our requirement. Most importantly - have fun!  Go to the link for Colour Dare #456 and add your entry. When you submit your entry you must provide a link to your post, not just to your blog in general. There are LOTS of ways to enter either a Blog Post or post to an online gallery (Facebook, Pinterest, SplitCoast Stampers, or Instagram).

I decided to do a Green and Red colour wheel opposites. I had some red colour striped paper leftover from Stars & Sparklers Bulk Paper Packet and some green scraps from Lovely Paper Packet + Sticker Sheet plus I pulled out the Gold Foil Patterns Paper Packet and put a strip on the top of the card front from the White Cards & Envelopes Value Pack.

Scrap strip of green Lovely paper (retiring soon)

Small part of gold glitter foil paper (retiring soon)

The red in the Stars and Sparklers is scarlet and I didn't have any scarlet ink so I did some colour matching of other reds in my retiring inks. I also tried the Candied Apple Distress Oxide™ Ink Pad but it was too orange-based for Scarlett. I found that Cranberry was the closest to Scarlet (not exact but close enough). I used the old cranberry to ink the edges of the whole card, then I cut a white daisy Stitched Square Frames Thin Cuts 

and sponged all that plus edges of a pre-cut white daisy heart that was in my white scraps.

I also found a pre-cut circle in Gold Glitter Paper to place inside the square and used 3D foam tape to adhere the heart to the glitter paper. 

I stamped an old sentiment from an old stamp set and cut the white daisy very fine and adhered it directly to the heart. 

I'm sad to see so many of my favourite things go from the annual catalogue but I'm excited to see new things coming 1st September!!
