Music Night and Flapper inspired card

Hello Everyone,

Last night we attended an evening of Music at our local High School which was also themed 1920's so we all got to dress up.  The girls were beautiful Flappers and boys dressed up in suits & hats.  All in all an excellent night.   This is my daughter, Karree before the performances started.  She is a little camera shy, like her mother (oh Mum, not another photo), well not really, only when I want to take a photo of her.


I've made a card inspired by the evening and her dress to mark the occasion.



She had a pretty blossom on her hairband which I've tried to replicate down the edge of this Basic Black card.  She also wore a lacy dress in a very Pale Mauve colour.  I just happened to have some of the Retired colour Pale Plum which fit the bill for this card which I've embossed with the Beautifully Baroque embossing folder and I've used papers from the Modern Medley pack.  The greeting is raised up on a punched Hex.

If you're interested I have quite a few more photos of the evening below.  Just click on the pictures if you want a closer look.

 Don't the girls look great.  Not sure what was so interesting on the  ground before they started though.

Whats happening here, looks like Karree is biting her music teachers finger (above).   This dapper young chap below is part of the Concert Band.
 Sisters here

 Friends outside before the show started.  Yes, my girl is the shorty in the bunch.




Food and Wine was included in our evening.  This is Anna's plate, note the 2 prawn cutlets, that's because she swapped her chicken for my prawn, I am allergic to shellfish and she doesn't like chicken.  Win Win!  

Inside had been set up beautifully with candles on all the tables, and how did I get in the pictures, LOL!


Hope you've enjoyed seeing this pics.  Have a great day.

      Thanks very much, Vicki. Yes it was fun, particularly seeing them all dressed up. Even the boys is ties, hats, suits etc, a rare thing to see them all looking so smart.

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

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

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
