Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #39



Hello Everyone,

As its Wednesday, its time to welcome you back for this weeks Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge which is a Mother's Day Theme.  I really love this versatile sketch Pam gave us to work with this week.  I've already made 2 cards with it, and hope to use it again.

I would love to see more of you join in with our challenge and can't wait to see what you do with the sketch.  Pop on over to see some inspiration from the Design Team at the Paper Craft Crew.

Both of my cards featured here use Blooming with Kindness, Well Scripted (retired) stamps, Lots of Tags die, Oval punch and Fan Fair Designer Series Papers. 
This is the Not Quite Navy version
After I stamped the bloom, I sponged it with more of the same ink using a circular motion, but that's not all.
Can you see the sparkle from the Shimmer mist on the Bloom image?  Its made by mixing Rubbing Alcohol with some shimmer paint into a spray mister.


I've added some more vintage charm to this card by using lace from the Artisan embellishment kit from the Seasonal catalogue and a piece of  jewellry, which was an old clip-on Earring which was broken.  It's mat with the largest flower from the Boho Blossom punch.


Next, I can show you the Bravo Burgundy version I've made of the same card, with some slight differences.

I've used Framelits Die around the main image and mat it onto Brushed Gold and I've dyed one of the Flower Trim with pink by putting some drops of Primrose Pink reinker into a mist bottle and spraying and I've added pearls this time.
I really love the effect of the sponging over the stamped image.  What do you think.  I'm sad about 2 of my favourite colours being retired - Bravo Burgundy that is my base of this card and Not Quite Navy on the card above.  They are 2 colours that I like to use often.  I know that everyone doesn't share the same opinion, hence probably why they are being retired.  We have the new colours to look forward to soon.  Wouldn't life be boring if we all liked the same things?
Thanks for stopping by.  Hope to see you again soon.  Please leave me a comment, so that I know who's been visiting.  I really appreciate you doing so.  Hope you have a fantastic day.

      Wouldn't that be nice, but I wonder how expensive per metre it would work out to be. I'm taking both to class and they are making the Burgundy one and if anyone asks for the lace on the blue I will suggest they buy their own Artisan Embellishment kit.

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

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
