CCMC227 - Special Sketch Challenge


Hi Everyone,

There is a special sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary this week that I wanted to enter.

I'm a big fan of shaped cards and love to make all sorts of shaped Easels or cards with Framelits & dies and you will know this already if you follow my blog.  I was looking forward to entering this week and seeing what you think of my card.  Here it is.




My Cardstock is Elegant Eggplant, Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla and Wisteria Wonder.  I've used stamps from Everything Eleanor for the Flowers, Papillon Potpourri and Itty Bitty Banners.  I've used dies of Scallop Circle to make my Circular Easel card and layered Doilies from Paper Doily and Delicate Doilies Sizzlits.

This is the sketch that was the basis for the challenge
2012 Create Thursday-007
And is TO MAKE A SHAPED card using framelit or dies!  Isn't that FUN?  And second...THIS WILL GO FOR TWO WEEKS!!!

I hope you like it.  Please feel free to leave me a comment.

    Hey Carolyn! Your easel card is so, so pretty - especially with those gorgeous colours you've used! I love your use of the doily die on your card - it's something I haven't seen before, it really stands out! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Create with Connie & Mary this week!

    Great job with the double challenge for Create with Connie & Mary. I haven't thought to use the doilies with the scallop circle - but they look like they fit together nicely. Thanks for the idea.

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 as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Hi Everyone, I thought this weeks Just Add Ink challenge - "Just Add Blokes" was a great opportunity to get in and make a Male card .  For those of you outside Australia, "Blokes" is another name for Men. Today I'm using Mosaic Madness bundle set teamed with a greeting from Loving Thoughts stamp set.  I don't understand why, but the simplest cards seem to take me the longest.  I agonise over them, and yet I can make something much more involved quicker, when I have a clear vision in mind. I've taken the colours for this card from the colour challenge this week for Create with Connie and Mary so this card is doing double duty for both challenges. Here we are The cardstock is Berrmuda Bay, Basic Black, Whisper White and Smoky Slate per the colour challenge.  Here is a closer look at the Mosaics.  The Bermunda bay one is raised on dimentionals. This picture below gives you a closer look at the greeting. Thanks so much for stop
