Little Black Dress and So Grateful

Hello Everyone,

Inspiration comes in many forms, sometimes from friends, sometimes by ones surroundings but today I've made a card today inspired by my recent shopping with the girls.  Retail Therapy LOL!

This is a cute one featuring a Little Black dress I made to go with my shoes.  My facebook friends would certainly understand this already, but photos are below.


The background features the Tie dyed technique which I've shown in the past.  Thanks to Bec Ross, one of our Paper Angels team members in Brisbane who shared this with me.  The Black dress is made using the Dress Up framelits and I've added some of the Silver Ribbon from the Holiday catalogue as a band.  The greeting is one from the Chalk Talk bundle. Cardstock here is Basic Black, Melon Mambo and Whisper White.  Here is a closeup of the dress.


No outfit would be complete without the perfect pair of shoes, right?  Well here they are.


While I was making this card I decided to make another, just because I could, especially for all of you out there who follow and support me.  Isn't it nice to make a card just because you want to.  I'm so grateful to you all.  You are the reason I create.


It uses the same type of background as my card above with the Tie Dyed technique.  The cardstock used is Pool Party, Basic Black and Whisper white.  This next photo is a picture of the background before I made up the card.  The background stamp is called Positively Chevron which you stamp with versamark ink before adding embossing powders of Pool Party, Melon Mambo and my Frosty Glitter mix which is a combination of Heat and Stick powder with Dazzling diamonds.


And finally, a closeup of the tag using the Chalk Talk bundle.


Thanks very much.  Have a fantastic day.

Carolyn

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

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
