Positively Chevron with Blackberry Bliss

Hello Everyone,

How has your weekend been?

You may remember if you read my blog yesterday that my daughter went out last night to a work function.  The protective mother here is pleased to report that she got home safely, so all is well.

Today I've tried out something a little different for the background of my card.  I tried some Whisper White Craft Ink on Blackberry Bliss cardstock the other day and I really like how it soaked into the card and changed colour to a monochromatic shade of the card.  It looks almost like the old shade Orchid Opulence we used to have.  I decided I wanted to try this on the background of my card with the Positively Chevron background stamp.  I love how it turned out.  I teamed it with stamps of Petite Petals and Creative Elements for an oval panel on my card front.  Come see.




The cardstock used is Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White and Silver Glimmer. 



The panels on the Glimmer and White cards were cut with the Oval Collection framelits and the Birthday greeting at the base of the card is from Teeny Tiny Sentiments, punched and layered with Word Window and Modern Label punches.  I've used Blackberry Bliss ink for the Swirl stamp on the white card and both Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry bliss for the Flowers from the Petite Petals.  Of course I had to add a couple of little butterflies from the Beautiful Wings dies. 

Thanks so much for stopping by to see my card.  See you tomorrow.

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
