Betsy's Blossoms makes a comeback for JAI#190


Hello All,

Ah, Tuesday.  So glad you are here.  I quite like Tuesdays.  Good things happen on Tuesdays.  Last week it was the Melbourne cup, and this week after I went walking with my friend Sharon I also got my car back in working order all fixed after yesterday's breakdown.  Doesn't take much to improve my mood, LOL!

While I was playing with some masking techniques for the Just Add Ink masking challenge I also pulled out a very neglected stamp set called Betsy's Blossoms.  I created a shaped Mask with the Deco Label Framelit for this card and sponged inside it with Pear Pizzazz ink and stamped some leaves from Betsy's stamp set in Garden Green ink for this card. 

So what do you think of this card as I've decided to enter again?


The base of the Card is Midnight Muse and I've used the same ink on the greeting from Perfectly Penned set, the Bird from Betsy's and one of the Papillon Potpourri Butterflies.  I've stamped the Blossom and other butterfly in Summer Starfruit ink and also used that coloured card as a mat for the greeting.

The bird is raised on dimentionals. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you like this one.  Happy Tuesday everyone.

    This is a very "happy" birthday card, indeed, Carolyn - the colours are great. Nice masked shape, and lovely use of stamps. I, too, neglect that stamp set! Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink again. :)

    You did a great job of resurrecting Betsy's Blossom Carolyn. The colours work together well to make an attractive and eye catching card! I love that the bird seems to be basking in the sun :) Thanks for joining us again at Just Add Ink.

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
