Create with Connie and Mary 253


Hello Everyone,

This week there is a sketch challenge at Create with Connie and Mary


I found some retired dsp with pink and Plum colours so I'm using a base card of Perfect Plum and the
stamp set Artisitic Etchings with the Apothecary accent framelits and Honeycomb Embossing folder for my card.
Here is another look at my card.  I've also added a tiny butterfly from the Kindness matters set and a retired Square gemstone brad to which I've attatched the greeting from the Tiny Tiny Sentiments set.

The cardstock is Perfect Plum, Very Vanilla, Pink Pirouette and Crumb Cake.  The ink used is Early Espresso and Crumb Cake.  The grossgrain Ribbon used is also a retired roll of Perfect Plum.



Thanks so much for stopping by to view my card.  Please let me know what you think of this one. I'd love your feedback.  Have a great day.

    I really like how you used the Apothecary Accent framelit on your tag and how it and the banner/sentiment accentuate the Eiffel Tower image! Thanks for joining us for the sketch challenge this week at Create with Connie and Mary!

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
