Create with Connie and Mary challenge 261


Hello Everyone,

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


CCMC261

I've decided to use the Open sea stamp set as I don't have enough masculine cards on hand at the moment.


The base of my card is Naturals White with Midnight Muse and Smokey Slate.  I stamped and cut out an extra ship from the set and raised it on dimentionals to create a 3D effect over the base and I've used some of the Smokey Slate chevron ribbon down the border of my card.  The anchors, world and greeting were all stamped with Smokey Slate ink.


You might also notice the circular piercing detail on the background too.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see a masculine card with time.  Have a great day.

      Thank you so much, Lisa. I needed to make some masculine cards. After retirement this is about the only suitable set I have left. That's an excuse to buy something new, huh?

    Awesome card, didn't even pick that it was ribbon down the side, assumed it was DSP! The colours are so good on this card, thank you for another great idea on how to use the ribbon and the Open Sea stamp set.

    Great masculine card. Love the color scheme. I like the extra touch your paper piercing adds to the card. I love how you hid the ribbon on the side...it looks like designer paper tucked back there. Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary challenge 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

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
