AAA Colourful Challenge #29

 Hello, this month we have some pretty colours, but it took me a minute to figure out how to use them.

I came across an image of a bird and it seemed to have the perfect colours a Lilac Throated Roller.

for my bird I used a dieset from Nellie Snellen  (crs d022 bird on branch) it comes with a circluar frame, but I ended up cutting that off, it's as wide as my card front. I diecut it from watercolirng paper and applies Distress inks.

It's not the same bird, but I tried to  make it look like the Roller; I'v eused: Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves and Picked Raspberry to make th eshade fit better, lille bit of Wilted Violet in there too. Then Speckled Egg, Prize Ribbon and Peacock  feathers, Vintage photo for my neutral.

Mounted ienie tinie tiny bits of foamt behine the bird. while I was coloring the diecut I also splattered the same colours on the cardbase.

No sentiment as I don't know if it is stil Christmas or not.

I look forward to what you come up with, I think a pretty butterfly would also take these colours, you can enter your card here.

AAA cards Challenge #316

 

Hello this fortnight we have the 1+1 challenge again, centre prompt is Summer and I chose Beach for my +1.

For my card I stamped the crabs from Paperie Ink  (Crabby Feelings) , cut them out the colored them with Graphit Brush Markers, boy am I grateful for the fineliner tip ;-). White gel pen for shiny details.

The background I made by masking off a strip and I created the beach with Distress inks Scattered Straw, then  reverded the mask and inkblended the sea with Tumbled Glass at first, but it looked  dirty, so I went over it with Memento inks Bahama Blue. Splattered with water so it looks like sea spray.

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

AAA Birthday Cards Challenge #86

 Hello this month we'd like Birthday Cards for boys.

For my card I stamped a lot of Paperie Ink sets with the alligators, there's one in every set or so it seems, I've used Let's party, Let's eat and Animal Parade/ Stamped them and let the Scan n Cut cut them out and then colored them with alcohol markers.

The sentiment is from Studio Light (NL Gefeliciteerd)

I made the background with Distress inks: Speckled Egg and Weathered Wood.

Mounted the images with foamtape and adhered them on  top.

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

AAA Cards Challenge #315: Sketch Challenge

Hello, this fortnight we have a sketch for you. As it's May I thought let's make a Christmas card hehe...Ok Ok I wanted to do flowers but I thought let's steer away from the literal sketch (for once), of course it's up to you.

I've used the My Favorite Things Simply Snowflakes with Nellie Snellen Snowflakes (Sil039) and a bunch of Card Deco inks : Light Blue, Sky Blue, Ultramarine and Grey for the dots.

The sentiment is also My Favorite Things: Bitty Holiday Wishes  and I used the Whimsy Stamps Simple Sentiment Strips to cut it out, then moutned it with foamtape and adhered it to the card.

For a bit of sparkle I added three mini gemstones to the centre of the snowflakes, like frosted ice crystals.

 

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

AAA birthday Cards Challenge #85

 

Hello, this is our Birthday month, can you believe it ? we are 7! So this month any birthday card goes.

For my card I stamped one of the raccoons from  C.C. Designs set with the same name (Raccoons) and had it cut out by the Scan N Cut, then colored it with Graphit Brush markers.

I masked off an area on the card base and applied Distress inks ( Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio with whatever was left on the blending brushes as I feel the Mermaid lagoon is a little darker than normal, but still pretty. I wanted to try to bleach the background with a damp towel and a stencil from scrapberry. it did work a bit,  but it's very faint, didn't

want to risk a  cloth that was wetter as my DCP paper doesn't really like water all that much.

Stamped the sentiment from the same set and then mounted the raccoon with with foamtape and adhered him to the card.

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