Thinking of You & Music Camp

Hi Everyone,

How are you today?  I am hot.  I wish it would rain.  Where are those storms they've been predicting.  It's been so hot and muggy here in our neck of the woods.  I have the air-con running now, as it has been for most of the last few days. 

Lets get of the subject of weather and onto today's card.  I saw a card on Pinterest which I loved and decided I would create my own version of it.  The layout is from Viva La Verve and my card was inspired by the work of Joanna Hooper.

This is a closeup of my card to show the stamped image from the Peaceful Petals stamp set which I've coloured with markers and blender pens.


The cardstock used is Wisteria Wonder, Pool Party, Regal rose and Whisper White.  The greeting comes from the stamp set called Sweet Essentials.  I've used the Gold Patterned Vellum over the Wisteria card to form an elegant background.

This is the full view of the card.


I think its a pretty colour combination.

Now onto the news of Music Camp.  We picked up my daughter Anna last night from camp after they performed a wonderful concert for us.  Just sharing a picture of Anna and her bestie Emily here.  Anna is the short one, lol.  I also have a photo of her with her flute.  It was an excellent concert and she also got to celebrate her 13th Birthday while here at camp with her friends.





Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Enjoy your day.

    I bet she had a great birthday! Love the sweet fresh colours (I call them lolly colours cause they are sooooo sweet!). I wish it would rain too. Sick of the cloudy sky and no rain! Vx

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

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

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
