Freshly Made Sketches 81

Hi Everyone,

Well it's not just raining tonight, it's a torrential downpour and looking like a very wet weekend coming up once again, after a week of showers.  Not the weather we'd like, but a good excuse to stay indoors and papercraft.

Here is this weeks challenge at Freshly Made Sketches
This is what I've created with the sketch.  I've used Daydream Medallion stamps with the Floral Framelits to create a cutout in my dsp (retired).  I've also used Papillon Potpourri butterfly stamps with the co-ordinating Elegant Butterfly punch to stamp and punch a double layered butterfly for the centre of the medallion.  The greeting is from the set Loving Thoughts.  Cardstock and Ink is Island Indigo.


Thanks for stopping by to view my card.  I appreciate your comments.  Have a great day.

      Used my Annual Award I got on that stamp set. It only arrived yesterday and I had to ink it straight away and try it out on this card.

    This is such a stunning card Carolyn! I'm not a blue person, but boy these colours really stand out to me. Love how you made a cut-out with your framelit and I would have to say this is my favourite butterfly from Papillion Potpourri - love it! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!

      Thanks Narelle, no doubt it will be in Sept, so long as the rain doesn't chase the sun away. We've had a lovely sunny morning today 27, but it's clouding up again this afternoon and supposed to be wet again tomorrow for Back to School.

    Congratulations on the Princess honor from FMS for your elegant and lovely card, Carolyn! (Those are favorite colors of mine, as you can tell!) I especially love how you have patterned layers on your card, but still managed to keep it so crisp and clean!!

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
