Just Add Ink 211 Challenge - Happy (Sun) Day

Hello Everyone,

Happy Easter,

Today's card is for the Just Add Ink sketch challenge this week.


Here is my take on the sketch which I've altered slightly so that it's a square card.


I've used the stamp set Starburst Sayings on my card with the largest of the greetings for this Happy (Cadbury) Day plus a little butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp set.  The paper is from the Sale-a-bration Sweet Sorbet pack and I've used the Scallop Border punch and the Needlepoint embossing folder.

Here's a closer look at the detail.


I hope you all have a fantastic Easter Sunday.  Here's a photo of our chocolate stash.  This will take some time to get through.  Luckily my girls will pace themselves and not eat it all at once.  Normally takes a couple of months.  You savor it more a little at a time. :-)  Happy Sunday.

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...

Just Add Ink 184 - Just Add Bows

Hi Everyone, How are we this Friday?  I'm good, been to the Dentist this morning for my regular check.  The good news is today was relatively painless, the bad news is I have to go back for some fillings.  Yuck! There's a great challenge at Just Add Ink this week brought to us by Trish to Just Add Bows.  The paper variety are so popular at the moment so that's what I'm making today. I've used my Extra Large oval punch with some of the gorgeous Winter Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  This is one of the foil sheets from the pack for my bow.  I've kept this card simple and elegant making a square card, so that it looks like a gift. Here is a closeup of that bow. I've used Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock today with the Winter Frost paper pack.  I really like the colour combinations in these papers.  You can pack these cards quite quickly and they look so effective. Thanks for stopping by today to view my card.  P...
