Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge 60

Hello from Downunder,

Happy Wednesday everyone.  It's halfway through the working week and that means it's time for another sketch challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  Here is this week's sketch.



I've decided it's time to revisit my stash and use some papers from the Print Poetry stack for today's card, teamed with one of my favourite things, Butterflies.  I've used the Beautiful Butterflies die cutting them out from Vellum and then embossing them with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder.


I've used the cooling blues and green combo for my card today, with the floral top piece so appropriate for Spring here in the Southern Hemisphere, but also for the cooling effect as it's decidely Hot here and feeling very like Summer today.  We are actually sweltering and there's a high fire danger and fire ban in place.
What do you think of my card today?  I've added the Hexes from the bundle to represent the circles on the sketch and also the Honeycomb textured impressions embossing folder to the lower Gumball Green panel of my background to carry through the them.

Here is a closeup of my Vellum layered Butterfly.


Embossing vellum is such a pretty effect.

Thanks so much for calling in today.  Come on over and see what our other Designers have to show you.    Hope you will join us this week for our Paper Craft Crew Challenge with one of your designs.  Can't wait to see what you make.

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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
