You may also like to challenge yourself with the colour challenge which is optional.  The colours are Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi and So Saffron.



Here are my cards using just the sketch this week.  Yes, two cards as I really liked the sketch.


The first masculine card uses Basic Black Summer Starfruit and Very Vanilla card with some Comfort Cafe Dsp and stamped Bicycle image from a Hostess set we had here last year called Pedal Presents.  I've used a greeting from my Apothecary Art set and one of the larger bottle caps flattened with a script stamped circle from Collage Curios stamp set and the brackets stamped over it from the Pretty Petites SAB stamp set.  I've added a Ribbon Slider to the centre of it from the Holiday Catalogue.  The Very Vanilla Labels Framelit has been finished with my piercing template around theshape which I really like on male cards.  The Summer Starfruit background on this card was embossed with the Argyle embossing folder.


The second card features a new little Sizzlit die which is such a cutie called Happy Whale.  I've added a stick on Googlie eye from those Halloween packs from the Holiday Catalogue and he's been slipped down into the Pool Party framelit which has been embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder.  I added a little Island Indigo ink to make it look like the ripples of water.  (Thanks to Julia Leece NZ demo for the water idea).  The anchor is from the same die and the greeting is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments which was cut out with the Bitty Banners framelits dies.  I've used card of Island Indigo, Pool Party, Summer Starfruit and Whisper white on this card and patterned paper on the background from the Sycamore Street SAB pack.  I've also used the embossing folder Square Lattice on my Summer Starfruit panel.

Thank you for stopping by to view my cards today.  I really love reading your comments, so please leave me some blog love and make sure you come join in our challenge at The Paper Craft Crew.

      Thanks Julia, actually this is a second card, my first CASE on SC didn't receive as much attention as this one, however I credited the idea to you on SC

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

Image
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
