Seize The Birthday #246 & Colour Hues Challenge #48

Posted on by

Hey Everyone

I made a card last week and forgot to post it for the combined challenges at Seize The Birthday and Colour Hues Challenges

The challenge is to create a card with the colour combo of Navy and Lime. I went with an interesting layout that allows the flowers from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set to really shine. The roses have been stamped with Black Stazon Ink and watercoloured with Night of Navy Ink. The leaves were coloured with my Parakeet Party Blends. These images have been fussy cut out and raised with Dimensionals.

The navy designer series paper strips I’ve added to my card are from the Sun Prints DSP pack. I added thin strips of Parakeet Party Cardstock to the DSP strips to tie in the colour from the leaves to the overall design.

A banner strip of Starry Sky Cardstock and a strip of striped Sun Prints DSP were added under the layers to add a bit of balance to the left side of the card. Three Basic Rhinestones were added to finish off the card.

Here’s my card:

Freshly Made Sketches #552

Hey Everyone

Ready for a new sketch challenge to play along with at Freshly Made Sketches? I am. Our sketch has been designed by the wonderfully talented cardmaker and legendary walker Jennifer Brum.

Take a look at her fab sketch:

The card I’ve created features leafy images from the Nature’s Prints Stamp Set and texture made with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. The fabulous green cardstock has been carried over to the leaves that have been coloured with the Parakeet Party Blends.

I’ve paired the Parakeet Party Cardstock with Gray Granite DSP (from the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper pack) and Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon. The sentiment that has been circle punched is also from the Nature’s Print Stamp Set.

Three Champagne Rhinestones were added to create balance with the offset sentiment and cardstock strips.

The Clean Team have created awesome cards. Make sure you pop over to the challenge and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.

Just Add Ink#605

Hey Everyone

We love Friday’s because that means a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week our challenge for you is to:

This inspiration pic is just awesome! I can see you all creating diverse cards with either the colours from the pic or an oceanic card like I have. This card reminds me of yesterdays card, but this one was made three weeks ago. I uploaded it to our gallery and then forgot all about it. I only whipped up yesterdays card on Sunday – it seems they kind of unintentionally match!

The Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set got another workout for my card. All of the images have been lightly watercoloured. The ink colours I’ve used are – Night of Navy and Crumb Cake for the shells and Mint Macaron for the leaves.

The DSP I’ve used down the side of my card and also on the card base is from the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper pack. I matted the striped DSP with Night of Navy Cardstock as I think it makes the stripes in the DSP pop.

The sentiment has been trimmed in half and layered for more interest. I had an off-cut piece of White Frayed Ribbon sitting on my desk, so I used my fingers and frayed it at one end. I then added a Linen Thread Bow around this ribbon and tucked it behind the layers.

The team have created awesome projects using the inspiration pic. Make sure you head over to Just Add Ink and see what they’ve created.

Thanks for stopping by.
