Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #66 + JAI


videogram cover image

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Wednesdays sketch challenge for the Paper Craft Crew.  Here is the sketch which we hope you will play along with. 


For my Design Team card today I've used a great technique on my background.  I've taken the Naturals Composition Specialty Card, cut it to size for my square card and then brayered ink over the background with Perfect Plum ink.  It does require several coats as it's quite porous, then a quick wipe and your done, ready to adhere to your project.
I've taken a little creative license with my card, not strictly adhering to the sketch layout with the traditional banner & hearts.  I wanted to use some Butterflies instead.  You may notice that I'm rather partial to butterflies and there aren't too many days in the week go by before I feel the need to add my favourites to a card.  Most of my friends would already have noted by now that I love Butterflies, LOL!


I love the richness of this background.  The colours are from the challenge this week over at Just Add Ink.  The base of my card is Raspberry Ripple, then a layer of Crumb Cake card and finally the inked dsp over the top.  I've also added a banner from the Hearts a Flutter framelits set, Butterflies from the Papillon Portpourri set and Strength and Hope sets and the Greeting is from Chalk Talk set.  So what do you think of my Butterfly banner on this card.


The greeting and the main butterfly have both been stamped with Whisper White ink onto Perfect Plum cardstock. 

We hope you will join us over at the Paper Craft Crew with a creation of yours for the challenge.  Can't wait to see what you make.    Don't forget to check out what the Design Team have created for your inspiration too.  So I've made my DT card this week for the Paper Craft Crew using their sketch for inspiration and the Colours from the Just Add Ink colour challenge, for which I'm also cross entering this card.

Have a great day everyone.

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

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

Image
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
