Create with Connie and Mary Colour Challenge #246

Hello Everyone,

We've had rain and showers here once again the last few days so thats allowed my a little stamping time today.  I've decided to play along with the colour challenge this week at Create with Connie and Mary

Here are the colours for the challenge
2013 Thursday Challenges-009


Together these are quite strong colours, so I wanted to team them with white.  Here is my card below using the Sale-a-bration stamp set Bloomin Marvelous and Papillon Potpourri butterfly stamp set.  My base card is Naturals White with my stamping on Whisper White which was then embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  Flowers and leaves have been stamped with the challenge colours, some were stamped off to create softer shades, before embossing. I've added a border strip of Island Indigo card with Lace Tape over the top.  I've stamped & cut extra flowers with Calypso coral raised on  foam dots and added some layered butterflies both in Real Red and a larger one in Calypso Coral which have been blinged up with our Basic Rhinestones.

Here is a closer look to see the butterflies better


and again


Thanks so much for stopping by.  I really appreciate your comments.  Have a great week.

    This is so pretty...looks like one of my grandmother's tablecloths that she only used for special occasions. I always love it...it was linen and the embossing folder you used gives this a linen look. Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary challenge this week!

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.

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
