Modern Medley Butterfly Card

Hello Everyone,

How has your weekend been?  Mine has been an interesting mix of relaxing, catching up with good friends, crafting and music.  Plus the usual Sunday running around taking my daughter to and from work.  It's turned quite warm again here and there is some rain expected for the State, in fact a lot of rain due this week.  I hope we get some in this region.

For my card today I wanted to use a Classic Colour Scheme and the Modern Medley dsp is Basic Black and Very Vanilla printed.  It helps make for an elegant design which could be suitable for either gender depending on the embellishments, or great also for an Anniversary card (which I've done in the past), just alter the greeting.  I'm using my Beautiful Wings die for a black butterfly this time perched on a Vanilla framelit cut with the Apothecary Accent framelits over a paper doily, so I suppose you would class this as a feminie card.  Have a closer look at my Butterfly.



The card base is Basic Black and my Very Vanilla background was embossed with the Fancy Fan embossing folder.  I've also used by Bitty Banners framelits here to create black banners and to cut the greeting from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set.  Below is the full view of the card.


This card makes a more elegant statement after the fun card of yesterday and is probably more true to my style, but as you know, I do like variety, however Butterflies feature regularly.

Enjoy what's left of your weekend.

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

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
