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.

AAA Card Challenge #307 Color Challenge

 

Hello, this fortnight we have a color challenge for you again.

Use at least 3 of 4, fur, skin and neutrals such as black or white, gold and silver are fine; and the colors don't have to be an exact match, just try your best.

For my stamping I've used Memento inks: New Sprout, Bamboo Leaves and Nautical blue

The brush stroke is a stamp from Marianne Design (Eline's Brush  EC0161 and the twig is also Marianne design (cs1143 Mistletoe), I stamped that on top with Versafine. I didn't realise it was mistletoe until I wrote down the supplies, I thought it was an Olive branch, so  you know it's versatile.

The sentiment is Whismy Stamps Simple Sentiment and I cut it out with the coordinating dies, then mounted it with foamtape.

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

AAA Card Challenges #306: Follow the Leader Francesca

Hello Happy New Year, we're back with a Follow my lead challenge, this fortnight it's Francesca's card we take inspiration from.



As it's January but I'm making this card well in advance (July if you must know) I went for Christmas. I could have done Winter wishes, but I found these diecuts in my stash, so Merry Chrsitmas it is ;-)

I inkblended the snowflakes on the cardbase (Studio Light SL-ES-Mask353) with Distress inks that were left on my blending brushes.

The little diecuts I had from my Christmas Card, all different brands, I think Joy Crafts, Gummiapan for the Bauble, but I'm not sure and Jeanine art house.














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

AAA Colourful #24

 

Hello, this month our theme is quite pink, like pink pink pink and some more pink...well it's almost Valentine's day, so I made one of those cards.

At first I wanted to use the Clearly Besotted Laugh out loud Love, but I didn't fancy any of them with my images which is also Clearly Besotted (Stupid Cupid)

I stamped the images with Extreme black ink from My Favorite Things and coloured them with Graph-it Brush markers and Spectrum Noirs.

Made the background with Distress inks and a cloud Stencil from Marianne Design (PS8024) and applied Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar and whatever was left on my inkblending brushes

Mounted the images with foamtape and adhered them to the cardbase.

The sentiment is also Clearly Besotted but went with Tiny type in the end and Versafine Morning mist

I'm looking forward to your card, you can enter them here.

AAA Birthday Challenge #81 January

 

Hello, Happy New Year, we're kicking off the new challenges with  "Winter Birthday" as our prompt.

I came up  some sort of Nothern Lights and a Polar Bear...Winter in the Artic?

I masked off an area of my card and applied Distress inks: Shaded Lilac, Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar, then splattered with water and metallic water colors.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things: Bitty Holiday Wishes and the Polar Bear is Marianne Design (EC0193) I colored it with Graphit Brush Markers.

It's my choice to choose a winner for this challenge, and I look forward to your makes, you can enter them here.

AAA Colourful Challenge #23: Dec-Jan

 Hello this month I see ice or snow and I went for a Snowflake like stencil with Distress inks.

I bought this set of stencils from Action and there isn't a brand on it, only 5pcs set. also it's probably no longer available as you need to get them when you see them, Action is funny that way.

I've used, Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon and a bit of Uncharted Mariner I think that was left on my brush.

I then Stamped the sentiment, that's probably also no longer available, it's from Simon Says Stamp and I had it for years (SSS101644 Merry Christmas)

I splattered some silver ink on the whole card for some icey shine.

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

AAA Cards Challenge #305: Anything CAS goes with the option of White only

 Hello, this is our last challenge for 2025, I hope you have a great Christmas and will come to play along again in 2026.

We have an Anything CAS goes with the optional twist to make it white only, or white on white.

Fun for a snow like Christmas card as it's the season. We had a similar challenge before and I've included the card I made for that challenge in the game badge.

Though it's optional I would very much like to see your all white cards.

I made a shakercard with the My Favorite Things' Christmas Tree Window, it's a good few years old, not sure it's still available.

I diecut the tree from a white cardpanel, and closed the opening with acetate, then built up the shaker portion with foamstrips.

I recently got the This calls for confetti Anti Static powder wand and I used it on the Crafters Companion mixed sequin pack, it's in a plastic bag and it was so clingy, but with the wand, that looks like a lip gloss applicator, it all calmed down amazingly. Whimsy Stamps sells them ans you should try it, I'm amazed. The sequins are called Iridescent Diamond and they're clear, but with a pinkish hue that you can only see from certain angles. I could have used others, but it's still white and they show up  little more than white on white  or clear of white.

To play along the AAA Cards Challenge, see this.
