JAI Colour Challenge #174


Hello Everyone,

Today's post is for the Just Add Ink Colour challenge

JAI_CC_#174
These are some really cool colours including a couple of our new "In Colours" which I've recently been playing with, so for today's card I'm going to make an Easel card with some of the new products.  I've teamed the colours with the Deco Label Framelits to create my Easel shape and used By the Tide stamp set.  I think the colours go with a Beachy Theme.


I've also just received my Ruffled stretch trim in all colours so added the Baked Brown Sugar one around the back of the Coastal Cabana layer.  This whole layer is raised on dimentionals then added to the Baked Brown Sugar largest layer.  Below is the side on view.


The greeting used is from the Chalk Talk stamp set punched and layered with Circles.  The shell has also been stamped separately, hand cut and raised on dimentionals.


Thanks very much for calling in to view my card today.  Make sure you jump on over to the JAI site and see the other entries too.   Don't forget to leave a little blog love while you're here.

Have a great weekend.

    This is just beautiful, Carolyn! I hadn't taken much notice of the Deco labels framelits ... oh dear, now I need to buy them! Love how you've used the ruffled trim, and the gorgeous colours. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week!

      Thanks very much Christine. The framelits are great. I've used them on quite a number of cards already, and it's only been a 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
