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.

AAA Colourful Challenge #8

 

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.

AAA Birthday Cards Challenge September: Background Focus #65

 Hello, well this one was easy..I had it left (rejected it) from the geometric chalenge.

I love the organic shapes more, and used them first, but they're not geometric as intended.

It's a stencil from Create a Smile Stamps (Organic shapes) and I've inkblended a rainbow or shapes on the cardbase; making sure they overlap so the colors mix.

Then I Splattered with black and gold metallic ink

Sentiment is from Clearly Besotted (Brushed greetings 2).


I look forward to your makes.

life sucks

 

Hello, today I'm using the Dracula digi from Whimsy Stamps and Dustin Pike.

I had a different sentiment on it at first, but the printer ate it, lucky maybe, not sure but it said "yes..I know a lot of Vampire jokes, but the all suck!" 

So I thought I'll redo it tomorrow and in the mean time I came up with Life Sucks Sometimes. I thought it was funny with the image of a blood sucking vampire, but I am 5 years old of course.

I printed the cardpanel, and added a moon, I didn't want to mask Dracula, so there's a bit of a halo, but I actually think that looks fab. Also didn't want to leave it without the Moon.

I colored the image with alcohol markers.

Matted the panel and adhered it to a cardbase.

You can find the digi in the shop:

A Haunting we will go

 

Hello, today I made a Halloween scene with many Whimsy Stamps goodies. I've used the newly released Peeking Pumpkins, together with Caramel Cared.

I flipped the Caramel Cared digi, there's a few in the set, I used the empty gravestone. but I flipped the image in Photoshop so I could attach one of the Peeking Pumpkins and resize it to fit the gravestone, like he's actually peeking from behind.. I printed it and colored with alcohol markers, cut it out.

Figured out where I wanted my moon on the cardbase and applied Distress inks through a round mask.

I've used: Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber.

For the ghosts and sentiment I've used the Whimsy Stamps Spirited sentiment (clear set), There's also a comparable didi version, but it doesn't have the ghosts; and I wanted it to look like the ghosts are appearing from the grave or gravestone, bats would also be very cool though.

Mounted the image with foamtape and adhered it on top. 

In my head I thought Caramel and Pumpkin man went to pick up the ghosts to go haunting.
