Paper Craft Crew Sketch challenge 53

130523 PCC Sketches v1-003.jpg

Hello from Downunder,

How was your week?  Did you check out our sketch challenge last week, as voting is now open.  Now for today's sketch from the Paper Craft Crew.  We would love you to play along with this one.  No surprises for guessing what image I chose to feature on today's card. 

Today I'm using a set called Strength and Hope for this gorgeous butterfly.   It might be familiar to you in the Best of 25 years Butterfly set, as it's been re-released for that.  I like to do things a little differently to the others, and I also don't always have access to the same products at the same time being in Australia so I have combined images from a few different sets today to create a unique card, but also incorporate some new products.

I'm using my favourite designer series paper at the moment called Eastern Elegance.  It's great to focus on the paper at the moment with the current special of Buy 3 packs and get the 4th for free.  As I said I've combined stamps from a few sets, so the Label is stamped with Memorable Moments in Black Stazon to create the dotted border, the Butterfly is from Strength and Hope stamped in Smoky Slate, the border across the ribbon is stamped with Mosaic Madness set in Black Stazon and the greeting on the circle is from Six Sided Sampler stamped in Smoky Slate as well.  Have a closer look here


The base of  my card is Basic Black with a layer of Smoky Slate, then the strips of Eastern Elegance paper.  I've also used some of the Chevron Ribbon in Crushed Curry across my card and I've stamped my butterfly twice, once directly onto the Label and a second time to cut out.  Pearls finish off my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by.  We hope to see you play along with one of your own creations this week at the Paper Craft Crew.

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 as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Image
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
