Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #76 - A Valentine's Card



Hello from Downunder,

How are you all today?

Are you coping with the heat here in Australia, or are you visiting me from the Northern Hemisphere dealing with the cold there?  Wednesday means it's time for this weeks challenge  Paper Craft Crew.  Here is the sketch for today.

I wanted to mention there are some fabulous creations by the Design Team this week and if you are visiting here from Australia or New Zealand it gives you a fabulous sneak peek into the new products headed our way soon.  You will want to visit the site and check them out for yourself.

This is the card I've made based on today's Sketch.  I might add, it's very loosely based on the sketch.


I've used the Label Thinlits Card framelit to create this card.  They make a flip style card.  This is the front and below is a closeup of the centre.


The cardstock used is Basic Black, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler and Silver Glimmer.  I've also used some paper from the new paper stack called Fresh Prints and a new stamp on the front label here called Perfect Pennants for the "You & Me" which was inked with Pool Party and Cherry Cobbler markers.  The basic black card has also been stamped with the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and Illuminate ink in a few places.

Next is the flip side of the card.  The extra hearts come from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and framelits and the small ones from the small Heart punch.

And the closeup

Finally the back view of the card, completely turned around.


I added a panel of white card to the back for writing a personal message.  Bit difficult to write on black card, unless you have a white pen, Lol!.

We hope you will join us this week over at the Paper Craft Crew with a creation of your own.  Would love to see you there.  Thanks so much for calling in to see my Valentine's Day creation.

Have a great day.

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
