Lost Lagoon Butterfly Card

Hello Everyone,

I have had another busy day today and also tonight, to & fro from school and back with my girls in school and Awards ceremony at school for the Year 11's tonight for their Australian Business week presentations.  Yes its been busy leading up to the end of term.  This will finish the term for my eldest tonight, and tomorrow is the last day for my youngest.

I did manage to finish off this card before we have to head back to the school.  This card uses a combination of the Watercolor Wings stamps with the matching Bold butterfly framelits and Awesomely Artistic stamps to create this awesome (I think) monochromatic card.  The base is Lost Lagoon cardstock combined with Whisper White and Vellum.



The ink colours used were Lost Lagoon, Pool Party, Mint Macaron and Whisper White.  The floral image from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set has been stamped on Vellum with Pool party ink and heat embossed with clear powder and partially fussy cut layered onto my card and stamped a second time in the top right hand corner directly onto the card with Lost Lagoon Ink.  I really like the combination here with the different textures and various shades of this similar colours.  Come and see the full pic of the card.




The Mint Macaron trim on the bottom edge of the card dresses it up a little more and some pearls placed over finish it off.   Here's a closer look at the greeting.



I  hope you like this one as much as I do.  Have a fantastic day.

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

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...
