Paper Craft Crew Challenge #38 & The Paper Players 141 Colour challenge



Hello Everyone,

Happy Wednesday everyone.  Today here on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia it's quite 'hot and muggy' at the moment.  We're expecting more storms later today and rain for later in the week.  Today I'm doing 2 for one, ie 2 Challenge sites with one card I've created as my Design Team sample and also to play along in The Paper Players Colour challenge. 

This is The Paper Craft Crew sketch below.

I've pulled out my Apothecary Art stamp set for this card and combined it with Papillon Potpourri set with the co-ordinating Butterfly punches.  The other accents have been made with the Delicate Doilies die and Hearts a Flutter Framelits.





I've coloured my Apothecary image with Markers and Blender pens over Whisper White Card stamped with Stazon Black Ink.

I'm combining my card with the Colour Challenge this week at The Paper Players using the colour combination below.
Paper Players #141 Color 4-14-2013

    The apothecary stamp is PERFECT for these colors! Lovely coloring job and great take on the sketch. I like how you used just a portion of the embossing folder on the circle...thank you for joining us at The Paper Players!

    So pretty, Carolyn. I love the two background elements behind your focal point. They add a little pop of color and interest. I agree with Nance, this was the perfect set to use!
    Enjoy your rains... I know how refreshing they can be at your gorgeous corner of the world.
    So glad you joined the Paper Players 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.

Music Teacher Farewell // Paper Players #173 Shaped Card Challenge

Image
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

Image
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
