CCMC238 - Create with Connie and Mary Colour Challenge


Hi Everyone,

This week there is a colour challenge at Create with Connie and Mary

2013 Thursday Challenges-001

These colours remind me of Flowers and Spring, but aren't a colour combo I would use often.

This is what I've created using the sets Oh Hello and Papillon Potpourri.  I wanted to do something a little different, an Accetate Card.   Yes it's been a while.  These were a class favourite a few years back.  I've cut my accetate base with the Square Scallop die and stamped with stazon white ink on the front with the Oval pattern stamp from Oh Hello and stamped a butterfly into the corner of the front with Papillon Potpourri.  I've lined the inner back of the card with Calypso Coral card and stuck the greeting onto the inside. 


I've then wrapped the Island Indigo Ribbon from the SAB Sycamore Street pack around the accetate front cover and tied it off.  Stamped another butterfly in Island Indigo Ink and added to the front and used my markers to colour the flower, stamped cut and added to the front of the accetate.  Here is a closer look at the butterfly corner on the card front.


For these types of cards I like to add an additional piece of WW card to the back for my personal message so as not to spoil the clear look from the front.  I hope you've enjoyed viewing a different type of  card.  Thanks so much for stopping by and feel free to comment, as I love the feedback. 

Cheers,

    This is excellent Carolyn! I think I may have to use this for a class idea. The ladies were only asking about an acetate card today and voila you have created one for me! Vx

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...
