Freshly Made Sketches #83

Hello Everyone,

There is a great sketch challenge this week at Freshly Made Sketches
I love the simplicity of this sketch.  Here is the card I've made using a combination of SU products and a 3D flower that has been sitting in my stash assembled I would estimate for about 2 years, as I remember the class I taught with those, when I used to work in a few Scrapbooking stores some years back. 

It is such a realistic looking flower, like a photograph and I like it, even though I'm not a Yellow Person.  I'm making an effort to go back through my stash of older products and start using them up.  The Dsp here is from a pack called Beyond the Garden.  I've used cardstock of Basic Gray, So Saffron and Basic Black, and a little Lace Tape.  The Greeting is stamped with Basic Gray ink from the set Blooming with Kindness.  The So Saffron card was embossed with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder.

This wasn't the card I originally planned to make, thought I would try something masculine, however a girl's allowed to change her mind, isn't she?

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment.  I love to hear from you.

    Goodness Carolyn, I thought that was a plastic 3d flower! Even when I clicked on it to enlarge it. It looks terrific. I don't mind a bit of yellow every now and again. Lovely card. Vx.

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
