Here’s my #colorcraft entry for week 1 entry 2
IdealStudio link: See What I've Been Creating...
Palette: pinks, purples, blues, greens, & yellow.
I was inspired by the fact our hummingbirds will soon be back. They come every year. They are such an interesting a species. I love to watch them flutter silently as they drink from their feeders. Their colors are vibrant & iridescent like God just painted them that day.

*Here’s my #ColorCraft entry for Week 1 Number 1
IdeaStudio link: [Project | Colorful Flower Details for the Icraft Cutter]
Palette: [My Butterfly Tattoo … purple, blue, pink, white]
Story: [My butterfly tattoo is a tribute to my yorkie that I lost a year ago. This palette is tropical and cool. It’s sunny even when there is no sun. I’m a girl who loves sun and sand and these colors speak to my heart.

My first project when I got my cutter was the purple butterflies on the sides of the front. It had only been out of the box for 5 minutes. I decided to expand it a “little”.
You’ve heard about my yorkie … you might as well see a pic of her. Her name was Rosey and she was the best dog I have ever had.

Here is my #ColorCraft Week 1 Entry 1

IdeaStudiolink : See What I've Been Creating...

Story : On the soft, sun‑drenched spring meadow stood a little sheep, nibbling contentedly on the first tender blades of grass. The scent of wildflowers drifted through the warm air. The sheep lifted its head for a moment, blinked into the sunlight, and seemed almost to smile — as if it were enjoying this peaceful moment just as much as anyone watching it.

My Inspiration was crafting something for Spring .
Used Material :
Cardstock in varius thickness
Hot Glue
Doubleside foam tape

Palette : cream white,green, pink ,light brown
