Happy Birthday Michelle

Hello Everyone,

Seems like February is a big birthday month here for friends I know plus family.   Today is a friend's birthday.  She also happens to be my downline.  Happy Birthday Michelle.

I've just finished and posted this card using a classic colour combo of  Black, White and Red.  It has one of my fav new butterflies cut with the Butterfly thinlit dies.  Come and see.




The only stamping here is actually the greeting used from the Butterfly Basics stamp set.  The patterned paper is from the Back to Black designer paper pack.  I've used the Decorative Label punch for the greeting and the Dotted Ribbon border punch for the red trim.




I've used some Basic Pearls to embellish the card.  The cardstock colours are Basic Black, Whisper White and Real Red.  These are also colours for an upcoming challenge, so this was my warm up card...lol.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing this one, and I also hope Michelle receives it in time and that she likes it.  Have a great day.

    Carolyn, How did you get the white butterfly shape under the black die cut butterfly? Did you just trace the outline and cut it out?

      Hi Sue Ann, thanks for asking. I've used the negative from the die cut black butterfly as a stencil to trace and cut out the white one behind. :-)

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

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
