Can You Case It #52 Colour Challenge - Butterfly Window Easel

Hello Everyone,


I'm back with another challenge for you from the Can you Case it Team.  This week we have a colour challenge for you with the combination of colours being Whisper White, Gold and Pool Party.  It has certainly made for some very pretty creations from the Design Team and I can't wait for you to see them all.



For my card today I've combined one of my favourite things with a favourite style of card that I like to make.  Those that know me will know immediately that my favourite thing to add to cards is Butterflies.  They pop up frequently in all forms, stamped, punched or like these ones cut from dies which I've layered up here.


These butterflies have been cut out with the Butterfly Thinlit dies, the two largest ones from Gold Glimmer and Pool Party.   Note:  I did not press out any of the inner parts of the die on the Glimmer base butterfly and I only pressed out a selection from the edges of the Pool Party Butterfly.  I finished the layers with the smaller butterfly cut from Gold Foil for the top.  The side on view below gives you a good look at those layers.




For the gold I've used both the Gold Foil sheet and the Glimmer gold, combined with Whisper White and Pool Party Card.  I've also used gold embossing powder for the greeting which comes from a stamp set called Butterfly Basics.



Designing a card with a colour challenge allows me to make any style of card I want, and on this occasion I chose to make an Easel Card with the Window Collection framelits.  I love easels in all different shapes and in the past I would say I have made just about every shape that we have dies for.  Shaped cards are cool and this Window shape is a particular favourite.



The greeting has been punched with the Decorative Label punch and forms the anchor for the Easel to stand against.


Please make sure you check our what our other Designers have made to inspire you this week and come and join in our challenge at Can You Case It.





Until next time, 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...

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...
