Create with Connie and Mary challenge 260

Hi Everyone,

There is a special double challenge at Create with Connie and Mary that I wanted to play with.

It's both Colour and the sketch below

CCMC260...SPECIAL 2 Week Color AND Sketch Challenge

CCMC260A         CCMC260B
I'm quite partial to the new In Colours and I love a shaped card too.  Today I've made an Easel Card using the Deco Label Framelits with the Mosaic Embossing Folder which I've inked on the inside with Calypso Coral Ink onto the Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock.  I'ved added a smaller panel cut with the Deco Labels from Whisper White card and embossed with Fancy Fan Embossing folder.  This is the base for my Leaves (Little leaves die) and Simply Pressed Clay flowers.

Here is my card


I've used Label Love stamp set and matching Artisan Label punch on the base of my card as the anchor to hold up my easel.  The card has also been decorated with some tiny butterflies cut from the Beautiful Wings embosslits.  The larger Simply Pressed clay used for the largest flower was coloured with Crisp Cantanloupe Ink prior to being put in the mold and the 3 flowers have all been brushed with the Calypso Coral marker to tone in with the background embossing.  I've also inked the Greeting stamp in Calypso coral.

Here is the side on view of the Easel Card and the base of the card.


I love making Easel cards of all different shapes and many of my regular followers will know.  I think this one turned out well and is so pretty.  I love the colour combination given to us for this challenge.

Here is one last look at my card.


Thanks so much for stopping in to view my card for the challenge.  I hope you will leave some comments while your here.  I really appreciate the time taken to leave them for me and love to know what you think.

Have a great day.

    Oh how cool! I love how you 'inked' between the mosaics on the base and added some fun details on the flowers! Thanks for playing along this week in the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!

    What wonderful details on your lovely easel card: the two-tone background, the handmade clay flowers, all the butterflies, and the repeat of the card shape with the white layer.. Everything comes together in a beautiful composition! Thanks for joining us for this special challenge 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. 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

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
