Paper Players Challenge 188

Hello Everyone,

Today the rain is absolutely pelting down here.  So good for our water tanks and dams.  It's been a while since we had any decent rain, so we are thankful.  The added bonus is that this weather is perfect for staying indoors and crafting.

I haven't played in the Paper Players Challenge for a while but the sketch this week looked really interesting.


I decided I would combine a number of sentiments here for a feel good card.  I'm using the sets Perfect Pennants and Starburst Sayings with Gorgeous Grunge, some washi tape, circle punches, Hearts and Pennants framelits.  Here is my card.


I love the collage effect I've been able to achieve with this sketch and the variety of elements.  My cardstock is Pistachio Pudding, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, and Coastal Cabana.  Of course, I also had to sneak in a little butterfly from the Beautiful Wings embosslits too.  Below is a photo which shows some of the detail more clearly.

The inks used are Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Crumb Cake.  I've also added some texture to my hearts by embossing with the Decorative dots and Square Lattice embossing folders.

Thanks very much for stopping by today.  Would love to hear your thoughts on this card.  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
