More Silver Glimmer


Hi Everyone,

We are stuck at home this morning and having a quiet day.  Our road is closed for the running of the Annual Noosa Triathlon.  The bike leg runs from Noosa to Cooroy and back right past our place, and we've had rain and drizzle, so that will keep it a little cooler for the Triathletes.

As a followup to last night's post I have a couple more cards to share that I made recently with the Glimmer.  The silver goes particularly well with the Whisper White, Island Indigo and Pool Party cardstock combination.  Well I think so.

On this first card I used the Holiday Framelits for the Trees and I was first inspired by a card I saw by Nikki Spencer.  My layout is much different and I've used the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder on the Whisper White background and the Large Scallop Border Framelit.  You can see Nikki's Card here.

This next card uses the same colour combination and I've used the Snow Flurry die again for smaller snowflakes on this card.  I've also used the inlaid embossing technique on some of them in the background, which is really effective with the Square Lattice Embossing folder, a favourite of mine.

I hope this post inspires you to try the glimmer paper and a few dies.  Thanks for looking and please leave me a comment if you like my cards.  Have a great Sunday.

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

Image
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
