CCMC222 - Create with Connie and Mary Challenge

Hi 2012 Create Thursday-002Everyone,

It's Sunday arvo here and I've had a chance to finish my challenge card after a very busy class yesterday.

This weeks challenge at Create with Connie and Mary is a Colour Challenge in the Colours of Summer Starfruit and Gumball green with Chocolate Chip.

Here is the card I've made

I've used the Scallop Square die to make this Easel card and the Bigz Lattice die on the background which I cut 3 times, in the 3 coloured cards.  I've also used the Fancy Fan Embossing folder on the piece of Gumball Green card before it was diecut, then I've stuck the pieces of the green and the starfruit into the background of the Chocolate Chip diecut.  The stamp sets used are Creative Elements and Field Flowers.

Here is a closer look

It is a different card for me in a colour combination I wouldn't choose for myself.  I guess that's what challenges are all about.

I'd love to know what you think of this one, so please feel free to leave me a comment.

    I love it! The colors peeking out from the Lattice die is such a great look! And the flowers and butterfly are so pretty! Thanks for joining us at Create With Connie and Mary!

      Thanks Jen, I wasn't quite sure about this card myself, not my colours.

    Thanks for sharing your Easel card for the Create with Connie & Mary color challenge this week. I like that you used the scallop square shape for your card.

Hello Everyone, Welcome to our Wednesday card sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here's our sketch this week    I'm using some designer papers called Merry Moments combined with Festival of Trees stamp and greeting from Teeny Tiny Sentiments.  The cardstock used is Whisper White and Smoky Slate with inks of Old Olive and Real Red.  The greeting comes from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set and has been punched out with the Washi Tape punch. Here's a closer look.  I love how the Designer papers add so much colour this this card.  The Festival of trees stamp has been combined with the Tree punch for this card. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Hello Everyone, It's a sad week for my daughter and her friends who have really enjoyed what the music program offered them at the High School this year.  Their very talented teacher will be moving on to a new school and they're having a little party for their last day of the Vocal ensemble practice which was an extra activity that he undertook with the students, as well as teaching them to play all sorts of instruments in lesson times. His speciality though, Guitar!  I have decided to enter this card into the Paper Players Shaped Card Challenge this week.  While not specifically made for the challenge, I think it's a pretty cool shape and fits the criteria.  I also think more people deserve to see this card. When asked to make a card for the group to give him, with that in mind I found some inspiration on Pinterest and came up with this card. The hardest part for me was getting the shaping right, and I had to call on my Artistic daughter to draw the edge...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
