Happy Anniversary for Create with Connie and Mary - CCMC271

Hello Everyone,

There's a cute sketch challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary this week.

CCMC271
I've decided this sketch would be perfect as an Anniversary card to my Husband.  It was our 29th Wedding Anniversary yesterday Oct 6th but as he is currently working away at the other side of the Country in Western Australia, we missed this one together this year.  He will be flying home later in the week.  I wanted my card to be simple, elegant and also a little masculine.  I thought the Modern Medley striped paper from the pack fit the bill.  The base of my card is Basic Black with a layer of Very Vanilla card to mat the pattern papers.  The stamp set is called Memorable Moments and I've used the Label Framelits to cut out the stamped image.  I cut an extra layer with the framelits from Black card and embossed with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder.


I've bannered the Happy in the greeting with the Bitty Banners Framelits and added a couple of little punched hearts which came from the Owl builder punch.



Here is a closeup of the framelit panel.

Hope you all have a lovely day and you've enjoyed stopping in to see my card.  Love to hear your comments.  Thanks and bye for now.

    The black and vanilla with that pop of read is so classy! Love that color combo! I really like this as an anniversary card and I think the color combo is masculine with just a touch of the gushy stuff! Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary sketch challenge this 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
