PCCCSC176 - Birthday Hydrangea

Hello everyone,


Its Wednesday once again, time for another challenge at the Paper Craft Crew.  I am out of action having made this card in advance before shoulder surgery.  Please forgive the last post  of this card.





I'm using a Base of Rich Razzleberry combined with some Floral paper from an older pack of dsp.  I've used some Wisteria Wonder card for a punched border and Whisper White card for stamping onto.  The Hydrangea is from a vintage Hostess stamp set, the greeting from Well scripted vintage set and the butterfly is one of my favourite from a current set called Papillon Potpourri.  Come and have a look.





From a distance it looks a little like Faux Mother of Pearl technique over my coloured image, however what it actually is Dazzling details.  You will see it better in the closeup.  I had a slight mishap with the bottle and rather than discard the piece and start over, I decided to go with it and spread the entire circle with it.  Anyone who has tried this before knows that it actually saturates the piece of card and it can distort and wrinkle or warp it when its dried.  What I did was allow it to try.  Ironed it on the reverse, the heat changed the composition of it slightly, then I reapplied some more glitter glue over the top with a paint brush and allowed it to dry again.  Perhaps my mistake the the creation of a new technique.  Who knows if anyone's had to resort to ironing their glittered image before.  It was a first for me.

Here's a closeup to try to show you the glittery effect.




Hope you can join us at the Paper Craft Crew.  We look forward to seeing your creation.

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 as I d

JAI176 - Just Add Blokes & CCMC 2nd Entry

Image
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
