Just for You - Double Challenge Fab Friday & Just Add Ink


Hello Everyone,

I've made a card today to participate in two challenges.  I know, I so rarely double up like this, however I wanted to use the sketch from Just Add Ink with some colours I loved that I found in a challenge at Fab Friday.  Here is my card:-


I've used some Designer Series Papers from the pack called Tea for Two from our Seasonal Catalogue along with stamps from Oh Hello and Papillon Potpourri stamps sets and co-ordinating Butterfly punches, Ovals and Bitty Banners Framelits and Little Leaves Sizzlits die.  The Embossing Folder on the background is Vine Street that I earned from the recently finished Sale-a-bration promotion.  I've also used the Square Lattice Embossing Folder on my layered Elegant Butterfly and large banner.

Here is a closer look at my card.



The Colour challenge is at Fab Friday and it's not one I have often had a chance to play along with, however I was drawn to these colours below.

I'm teaming these colours with a sketch at Just Add Ink for my card using this sketch here



Thanks so much for popping in to view my card today.  Your feedback will be greatly appreciated.

    Great layered butterfly! Your design with the butterflies fluttering around remind me of our local botanical gardens! Thanks for sharing with us at Fab Friday!

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...

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...
