AAA Colourful Challenge #17: June-July

 

Hello, this month  our game badge might be inspired with the $th of July fireworks, but I went Halloween,  see oranges and purples, so made sense to me ;-)

I made a background on the cardbase by masking off an area and applying Distress inks (Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Crackling Campfire), them splattered with water and a gun metal grey paint.

the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps (Spirited Sentiments) and i stamped it with Versafine ink.

The images are ephemera from Dutch Doobadoo  (Dutch die cuts Hallo Herfst) and I mounted them with foamtape.



I look forward to what you see in the game badge colors and you can enter your makes here.

Floating by to say HI!

 Hello, today I'm using quite a few products from Whimsy Stamps.

First I printed the digi from the Some Odd Girl Line: Ice Cream Penguin, cut it out and colored it with alcohol markers. I did flip it to face the other side as at one point I thought it would work well with last week's card, but it was too busy for me, didn't use it then.

Then I diecut two floating ice sheets from the Wavy Nested Frames die set. I inkblended the lower edge to give it some shading, darker on the bottom to give the ice some height. I've used what ever Distress inks was left on my inkblending brushes, but if I had to guess it's Chipped Sapphire and Mermaid Lagoon with a hint of Tumbled Glass.

Glued them together to make my Ice sheet and adhered it to the card.

Splattered the card with a Shimmer pen so it looks like water splatter and adds a bit of shine.

I mounted the penguin on top with some foamtape.

The sentiment is also Whimsy stamps from the clear set Killer Friend and I thought this was very  on point for my card.

AAA Card Challenge #292: Sketch

 


Hello we have a sketch again, and as always you can rotate and or flip the sketch as long as we can see it.
I wasn't very original with my take on the sketch, you don't have to do a rainbow,b ut I do like one, especially this month.

For my card I  did some repeat stamping with the "everything" from  Whimsy Stamps (Happy Sayings) in all the rainbow colors (Card Deco ink). Love  my Stamping tool for this.

The "happy"  is a partial sentiment from Clearly Besotted's Tiny Type set.

just chilling

 Hello, today I'm showing you a card I made with a Whimsy Stamps digi from the Some Odd Girl Line.


For my card I printed to digi Chilly Penguin, cut it out and colored it with alcohol markers.
For the Hello I inkblended a reainbow on cardstock with Distress inks, then cut itout and the shadow die with black, added white gelpen for a shine detail.

You can find the items in the Whimsy Store:

AAA Birthday Card Challenge #74: NO Stamping

 

Hello this month Stamps aren't allowed, for a second I thought if I print a sentiment it's not stamped, but nah, I thought I should be a good Design Team member ;-)

For my card I masked an area of the cardbase and applied Distress inks for my night sky: Salty Ocean, Prize Ribbon and Uncharted Mariner, I went over the panel quite alot as these three colours aren't similar enough to blend seamlessly, but I think I did a good job.

Splattered with Silver glitter spray for stars in the sky.

My Elk/Moose is a diecut from Gummiapan and I intended to use a Small Village too, but the sentiment was too modern and crisp, it didn't go together.Also I wanted the diecut underneath the sky at first, but now I have space left over, so I put the Leane Creatief (NL teksten) in it too. Adhered both with liquid glue, but double sided adhesive on the back, would make those spinly legs into a handy sticker...didn't think of it though.


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

AAA Card Challenge #292: Follow the Leader

 


Hello, this fortnight the card to follow is from Sue S. I made a few variations, the first 3 I didn't like, mostly because I wanted to use a smaller font die set and it just didn't work as well as it did in my head.
I made a 4th card and I actually love this one.
For my Merry I've used the Marianne Design Collectables Col1449 alphabet dies and cut them from a white panel. Mounted a black panel on a white cardbase ( so you can still write your message inside, but you could make a black cardbase, saves on paper)
Splattered with silver/grey and gold water color and let it dry.
Mounted the panel with foamtape and adhered it to the card.

My first cards were an attempt to use gold leaf in the diecut and it looked shabby to me, on Sue's card the golf leafing looks fabulous.

AAA Colourful Challenge #16: May-June

 

Hello this month our game badge is a flower, a Spanish Daisy I think, not sure.

I saw purple, gold/ochre, black and White.

I found it quite challenging at first, then I separated all the colors and it made more sense to me, I'm sure it's different for you/everyone.

My purple butterflies aren't as dark as the one on the game badge, I really don't have such a deep purple, the ochre/gold I made with a gold circle, a wreath if you will by diecutting two nesting circles.

Bold black sentiment from Studio Katia (mini Birthday Greeting) and a few foam squares.

Seems simple after the fact haha.

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