Create with Connie and Mary Challenge 248

Hello Everyone,

It's a colour challenge this week at Create with Connie and Mary

Here are the challenge colours

2013 Thursday Challenges-011


These are currently In Colours that will be remaining for another 12 months once the new Stampin Up catalogue is launched, so I still have some card in these colours.

Today I've used the Hostess stamp set called Millon Dollar moments for this Top Notes Easel card.
I've used an interesting new technique on my background for the stamped image called Rainbow Block technique, where you take a large acrylic block and colour it with markers, spray it with water and stamp it onto the Very Vanilla card. I used just the 2 colours on the background - Gumball Green and Summer Starfruit.   Once dry you can stamp over it and cut or adhere it to the card. 


This is the full view from the front of the Top Notes Easel Card.  My greeting is from the retired Stamp Set Well Scripted.  I still like to use it from time to time and I've layered it with one of the Apothecary Accents framelits. 

The next photo is of the sheet that I did the technique on, before I stamped and framed it.  I created a frame from the Top Notes die and the Oval framelits for the background to highlight the image.   As well as this sample below, you can see more examples of this technique on my previous post for the JAI Challenge - to try a new technique.


and finally, the side view of my Easel Card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I'm looking forward to hearing what you think of my card this week.

Have a great day.

    What a cool technique! And I like the way you used it with the stamp image - it really worked well and gave the card a misty, rainy look. Thanks for joining us this week at Create with Connie and Mary.

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 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
