Can You Case It? # 68 Card Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to our Sunday challenge for canyoucaseit.com   We have a gorgeous sketch here below to play with this week.





I wanted to use some more of my Printed Blooms patterned paper up and turned this sketch into a square card taking a little creative licence.  The actual pattern of this particular sheet is quite bold, so I softened the look with a vellum overlay.   Come and see.




The cardstock starts with a base of Blackberry Bliss followed by the patterned paper, a layer of vellum partly over the patterned paper and aligned to the right hand side and Rose Red Card used for anchoring the vellum and mimicking the shape with a mitred corner.  I've also used a Rose Red frame cut with the Label framelits and to cut both the vellum overlay and the printed vellum dotted piece which has been placed beneath my butterfly.  The Papillon Potpourri stamp set was used for my butterfly stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink and I've used both Blackberry and Rose Red card to cut the word Love from my vintage Expressions thinlits.   Here is a closer look at that butterfly, which has been doubled with a Blackberry Bliss punched shadow using the Elegant Butterfly punch.




The butterfly was finished with some Basic pearls down the centre.





We can't wait to see what you make with this week's sketch, so make sure you head over to canyoucaseit.com for more inspiration.

Have a great 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...
