AAA Colourful Challenge #9

 

Hello it's the month of Halloween, I'm sure, you  could see something Halloween like in our colours this  month, but I've flipped the game badge upside sown as, to me, it could be a night sky, maybe some sand dunes and my card is inspired by  Joseph and Maria making their way to Bethlehem, guided by the star.

For the card I've used Distress inks: Chipped Sapphire, Prize Ribbon, Seedless Preserves,  Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade.

Instead of curved lines, I went with ripped strips of masking paper, so I would still get the layered look, a bit of the white in between it  could be a night sky or landscape. but as I splattered with water, white and gold paint, it might be more like a sky.

The sentiment is from  My Favorite Things (Bitty Holiday Wishes and the image is from Nellie's Choice (CSIL002) and I stamped both with Versafine black ink.

I then took a gold marker to make the Star.

I am curious to see what you come up with, so play along and enter your card here.

AAA Card Challenge #276: sketch


 
Hello for my Dt card and sketch Challenge I made a Halloween card, it's almost that time of year.

I started by inkblending trough a circle stencil ( Negative) as those aren't included with the Stampers Anonymous Moon Masks set from Tim Holtz. I've used what ever yellow was left on my inkblending tool, I think Mustard Seed and then Lost Shadow on top with the Crater masks

DIecut the three bats in the set from  Dutch Crafts and stuck them on top. I think three is a bit much, but there's 3 blobs on the sketch, so I went with that, one would have been nicer in my CAS opinion.

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Tiny Type and I stamped it with Versafine Back ink.

AAA Birthday Cards Challenge October: Circle shaped card #66

 

Hello, this month we would like to see round or circle shaped cards.

For mine I diecut the flower die from Creative Expressions (CED24008) from White card.

Then found my plain round circles and diecut the backer , also white cardstock and inkblended some random Distress ink colors on it; attached the flower diecut and then splattered with Lawn Fawn Liquid Stardust.

Aso diecut the bardbase by sticking the die up a little, so the top stays connected.

Obviously no room for a sentiment, so you'll have to trust me it's for a birthday card ;-)

AAA Card Challenge #274: Sketch



Hello, it's sketch time again:

I made the sketch with blobs, like mid century modern ones, and I actually got a stencil for this card, 

It's from Create a Smile (Organic Shapes) and with it I've used Distress inks: Lumberjack Plaid, Wilted Violet, Squeezed Lemonade, Mermaid Lagoon, Picked Raspberry.

Then I laid another stencil on top, it's from Alex Syberia, but I can't find the packging or it's name, sorry, fo ri I've used HIckory Smoke, also Distress inks. Stamped the sentiment from Whimsy Stamps (Simple Sentiment Strips)

At last I've splattered it with gold metallic paint as it need a bit of shine, mind you I made this in January and it's dark where I live, this is also my second card as I didn't like the autumnal one, but i've included it


To play along the AAA Cards Challenge, see this.

 

 For my first card I went with a leaf stencils. but the ones I like are quite big (Craft Sensations) so my cardbase is A5 or 6x8inches.

I've used Distress inks: Mustard Seed, Fired Brick, Ripe Persimmon, Dried Marigold.

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Brushed Greetings as they're a little bigger.

This month I see a fox in the colours of our badge, very Autumnal colours for sure, also I see a broken egg ;-)

I diecut  the fox, fence and fern from coloured cardstock, tried to  make  the fox more orange like, but I don't think it shows that well.

The fox is from Love 2 Craft, the fence and ferns are from Marianne Design (CR1648 and LR0245)

And the sentiment is from Whimsy (Simple Sentiment Strips), stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia.

I love to see what  you make, to enter your card, click here.

AAA Card Challenge #273: Anything CAS goes with the option of Sympathy or get well

 Hello this fortnight I didn't take the optional twist for the Anything Goes Challenge. Honestly cos I had this image precolored laying on my desk and thought I should use it.

It's from My Favorite Things, and as it's rather tall I only inblended a strip of grass or alike to ground it. I masked  the area and used Distress inks Mowed Lawn and whatever was left on my brush of course.

The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Simple Sentiment Strips.
