AAA Colourful #26

 Hello this month we have a new interesting game badge, is it hail, snow, ice crystals? don't  know but I went  more tropical with my scene.

I started inkblending the cardbase, realised I put the sky or sea at the bottom, so cut that part into a strip and turned it around for a sandy beach and Sea/sky, maybe a desert at night as it's quite moody in the blue department, oh well I wish I thought of that earlier, I might have made it into a Christmas card ;-)

Anyway I've used Memento inks: Nautical blue, Teal Zeal, Toffee Crunch, Desert Sand and Card deco's Beige.



The palm tree is a diecut from
Marianne Design: LR0541 and the sentiment  (means Congrats) is from Studio Light (Nl Gefelciteerd) and I thought it might work for a
number of occasions.

I look forward to your card, you can enter them here.

AAA Card Challenge #310: Anything CAs Goes with the twist of Zoo and or Animals

 Hello, this fortnight we have an Anything CAS goes challenge, with the option to twist it into a Zoo  and or animal theme.

For my card I used the Spellbinders dieset Flying High, cut from a lot of colored card, not as many flowers on the branch as they did on the package, but I also didn't want a bare tree.

Sentiment is Whimsy Stamps Simple Sentiment Strips.


 

I look forward to your takes on the card, you can enter them here.

Hello this fortnight we play the 1+1 again.

I chose Lamb to go with my Spring prompt.

I added a little blue sky with whatever blue was left on my inkblending tool, just enough to make the lamb stick out.

The Sentiment is Whimsy Stamps (Simple Sentiment Strips).

AAA Colourful #25

 Hello this month I saw old fashioned test screen from TV in I dunno  when they stopped, but if you know you know, once the programming stopped you'd get a special screen, or with technical difficulties.



So my card is a rendering of one of those screens, they might have been different per country, I don't know.

I diecut strips of coloured cardstock  twice for each colour.then adehered them to the cardbase. ealving a little border. a strip of black card in the middle. 

With my Brother label printer I made the text, it's whie lettering on transparent tape. it's a bit shiny, because of the flash I need to use, but looks better in real life.



I look forward to your card, you can enter it here.

AAA Card Challaenge #308: Sketch Challenge

 



Hello, this fortnight we have a sketch for you.
For my card I diecut all sorts of shapes from different Avec Creative (Love to Craft) dies, these we could buy at Action but I haven't seen any in a while.
Anyway you can use stamps, paper, washi tape i think those strips would be excellent in Washi or scraps of patterned paper...
For my 2 pillars I diecut the lantern twice, the  scooter is from the same set, the portion of the road is another.
The sentiment is from Whismy Stamps: Simple Sentiment Strips and I stamped it in Versafine Morning Mist to match with the road. Added som shimmer from a Nuvo pen on the lights and then splattered a bit on the cardbase.

 

I look forward to your takes on the card, you can enter them here.

AAA Birthday Challenge #82

 Hello this month we want you to make a slimline card.

For mine I went with a night scene. Train to Busan springs to mind  though ;-) You might have seen that movie....

Anyway...

I started by cutting an A4 at 21 cm, making it square, then folding it in half for my slimline. the bit left over I  cut slightly smaller to make a nice border on the panel. 

On the panel I inkblended Distress inks: Mermaid Lagoon,  Blueprint Sketch, Prize Ribbon and Chipped Sapphire. Splattered with water and silver metallic paint.

The scene is  made with diecuts from the Amy Design set ADD10129 and  pfff all those windows..I started with 2 city scapes, but I couldn't  do another. I lined the black with yellow for lights, seems almost everyone is home... same for the train, I diecut another wagon to make it longer for the slimline. The bridge is also two sets in grey. Gave the train a nice red colour, just to make it pop.


Adhered everything to the cardbase and stamped the sentiment, it's from Clearly Besotted (Tiny Type).


I look forward to your makes, you can enter them here.
