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.

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.

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 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
