Gidday Mate - Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge 46


Hello Everyone,

Greetings from you know where? (Gidday Mate, how are ya)

Another Wednesday and another card for the Paper Craft Crew.  Here is my Design Team card using    Forever Young stamp set, and a bit of contraban for the the sketch below.  There is a Patriotic theme this week coming up to US 4th July, but as I'm an Aussie I'm doing an Australian themed card for this weeks challenge (Postcard style).  I've done a little brayering in the background (sky) and the rest of the background and Rock is all sponging.



Can you guess where this is meant to be?

Here is a better look at that Cockatoo.


Yes, it's meant to look like this - Uluru (formerly known as Ayers rock).

This brought out my quirky side, needing to be a little different and I had a lot of fun designing this card with my girls contributing ideas.  My youngest daughter even said Mum, surprisingly, your card actually does look like that (Australian).

Here is the sketch from Pam this week (and what we were supposed to do)



Sorry I didn't adhere to the sketch.  It didn't fit with my postcard, but I had fun with the Australian theme, even though I wouldn't call it a Patriotic card.  I hope you will have a chance to play along with this challenge with the Paper Craft Crew.  The Theme is optional, and in my case, so was the sketch.  Hey, I'm not being voted on, am I.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope you can join us in the challenge.

See ya later.

    G'day Carolyn! What a great take on the outback? You have captured it perfectly, especially using "Forever Young" for the foreground - how clever. I can almost hear the cockatoo singing in the trees, but wait he is sitting on the power lines outside my office!!!! TFS

      Thanks very much, Vicki. I nearly wasn't going to submit a card for this challenge as I couldn't think of something to fit the Patriotic them in keeping with the sketch.

    My Aus neighbor would agree your card looks like Ayers Rock or whatever the new name is. Wonderful! TFS.

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. Thanks so much for joining me this week to view my card.  For more inspiration please visit the Paper Craft Crew challenge and see what our other Designers have created this week. Have a great day.

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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
