Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge

Hello Everyone,

We have experiencing the most shocking run of wet weather once again here on the Sunshine Coast, Qld with more flooding.  My husband measured more than 12 inches of rain over just a couple of days.  How much more than 12 inches, we are unsure because the rain gauge was overflowing when he checked it.  A bit of a reprieve today with a little sunshine.

Anyway, its been great weather to stay indoors and do some papercrafting.  I made my card early, because I've had a few days off due to surgery.  Here is my Design Team card for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Sketch.


I've used the Owl Builder Punch on the focal point of my card this week and my background is a layer of Designer Series Paper from Beyond the Garden (retired from my stash), Cloudy Days Embossing folder on my black piece and En Francais Background stamp on my green layer.  I've also used the Little Leaves die and I've used Square Lattice Embossing folder on my Owl and Wisteria Panel.

My Cardstock colours are Marina Mist, Basic Black, Whisper White, Wisteria Wonder and Pear Pizzazz. 

Please pop on over to the Paper Craft Crew and see what the other members of the Design Team have created.  We would love you to join in with our challenge and can't wait to see what you do with the sketch below.

    Another rare blue owl I see. haha. The cloudy days EF is a bit hard to see but I get the idea and like it. Like the doily behind the little owl too.
    And of course who doesn't love a blue owl! This sketch has quite a lot of detail in it I noticed. So I lot of work coordinating everything. I think you did well with it. 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

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
