Create with Connie and Mary

Hello Everyone,

It's a few weeks since I played the challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary
but I was keen to join in again this week with this sketch.

 CCMC265The 3 panels intrigued me with this sketch and I love what the Design Team shared this week.

I've decided to use some patterned paper on my card to create my panels from one of my favourite packs called Eastern Elegance and after making a masculine card yesterday, I was ready to make something pretty.  The added benefit with this card was I got to use some scraps that had been hanging around on my desk with the Deco Labels and butterfly.  I always have a few butterflies fluttering around my desk, LOL!


The greeting on this card is from the stamp set Wetlands, which was also sitting on my desk from yesterday.  The Butterfly is from the stamp set called Papillon Potpourri and is punched with the matching Elegant Butterfly punch.  Cardstock is Coastal Cabana, Basic Black and Whisper White.  I shadowed by butterfly with the Basic Black card.  Here is a closer look.


Thanks so much for stopping by.  I welcome any feedback from you and love to read your comments.

    Your color scheme is just so pretty and the Eastern Elegance DSP is the perfect background to set it off beautifully! Love how you put the black under the butterfly to make it pop even more! Thanks for joining us this week for the Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge!

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
