Grungy Birthday

Hello Everyone,

How are you this Friday?  It's been pretty warm here.

Today I decided to make a card with a total break away from the butterflies I've been using lately, just for a change.  This card uses the Gorgeous Grunge and Chalk talk stamp sets with some circles cut with the Circle Framelits and 1 inch circle punch plus the Mini Star punch for more of an abstract design rather than my previously elegant butterfly cards.


The cardstock used is Whisper White, Smoky Slate, Pool Party Pistachio Pudding and Basic Black with some Champagne Shimmer for the starts.  The greeting comes from the Chalk Talk set.  Here is a closer look.

I had these rings already laying on my desk, leftover from other projects and wanted to make use of them.  Thanks for popping in to see today's card.  As I mentioned, it has been pretty hot here.  I wanted to share with you a site we see in our backyard quite often.  These kangaroos were quite close the afternoon and were taking it easy in the shade.




Have a great weekend.

      Thanks so much Vicki, actually I don't feel like the Master of grunge, it's way outside my comfort zone. Have been channeling my mate Justin to create this. LOL!

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
