AAA Cards Challenge #321: 1+1

Hello, this fortnight we play the 1+1 again, I went for Farm+ animals... with my goat clearly.

The goat (Col1570), the fence (CR1648), the grass (LR0524) and the flowers (LR0891) are all Marianne Design, cut from various colors of cardstock and then assembled them.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things (Bitty Birthday Wishes) and I stamped it with Versafine ink.

 

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

AAA Colourful Challenge #31

 

Hello it is Summer and all that blue makes me think of water, but different kind of water, not sea, not pool, but a pond with Koi.

For my card I used Distress inks: Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean, Salvaged Patina and I applied these colours through circle stencils I made. I think the colours match quite well and look like water and water droplets.

On top I stamped one of the layers of the Hero Arts layering Koi (oldie not sure if it's still available but there might be others)

Verjaardag means Birthday and it's from Studio Light NL Gefeliciteerd.

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

AAA Card Challenge #320: S is for...

I've been putting all the S things I could come up with into this blog, so I could make a decision and not forget the options that sprung to mind, they might be useful to you too, so look at the end of the blog to see them and there might be more you can think of..

I came up with S for Snowdrops with this delightful image from Stamping Bella: Bundle Girl with Snowdrops.

I had a copy already stamped and cut out, I did make the border bigger than usual to make sure the little snowdrop on the had wouldn't bend or break.

I colored the image with Ohuhu markers and mounted it with foamtape.

To  ground the image I masked off a portion of the cardbase and applied Distress inks Twisted Citron, just enough to make the image pop, I alsosplattered it with water cos it's Distress inks and it's mandatory ;-)

The sentiment is My Favorite Things Bitty Birthday Wishes and I stamped it with Versafine ink.

AAA Birthday Card Challenge #88

Hello, this month we're all about flowers.

For my card I diecut a bunch or colours from Mintopia cardstock with the Marianne Design LR0891.

I used the Clearly Besotted set Brushed Greetings II and at first I did  use the Happy Birthday, but it was too long for my idea and I figured Best Wishes also works.

I placed the flowers around the sentiment some with foamtape, pretty simple, but that's my CAS style for you.

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

AAA Cards Challenge #319: Color Challenge

Hello this fortnight we play with color a nice vibrant and candy like colors.

I first thought I would diecut the flip flops from colored cardstock as per the challenge. but I deemed them too big for our CAS challenge because I wanted three on the card front.

Instead I opted to make a sunset with the colors inside a circle, then, like you see a lot, black flip flops as they're backlighted, but then I found them too dark for a Summer card, I added some yellow on the strips to brighten that up and a black gemstone.

The Sunset was made with 2 circle masks and Distress inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch

Flamingo, Carved Pumpkin and Picked Raspberry. I kind of like this for a beach sunset with a black palm tree, with the flip flops not so much.

The Happy Birthday is from Whimsy Stamps: Simple Sentiment Strips.

The flipflops are Marianne Design: LR0477.

For my second card I made a beach with Distress ink Scattered Straw and  wanted to make it look like the Flip Flops were stuck in the sand. These were the ones I made for my first idea. I was tempted to add some blue for the Sea, but that's not included in the challenge colors. 

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

AAA Colourful #30

 Hello , this month we have a pretty colourboard for you, on the game badge I see a sunset or a sun rise, not sure, I went South West USA for my card.

I thought the beige and blue could be a desert scene and I got the ide of this colour combo from a search on the internet.

I don't have the exact same colours so my middle layer is a bit darker than I wanted it to be (Scorched Tiber) the others are Scattered Straw, Mustard seed, Brushed Corduroy , Prize Ribbon and faded Jeans. in the back of the game  badge photo there's a darker layer too.

I inkblended the top layer on the cardbase and with some clever masking I made an almost flat card, but I didn't like it, so i applied ink to 4 seperate panels and then diecut them (Craftin Desert Divas South West Border dies)

Adhered all the layers to the cardbase.

Can't wait to see what you make, you can enter your cards here.

this is the inspo I found, it's a bit more exciting and dramatic.

AAA Cards Challenge #318 Follow Marlies' lead

 Hello, this fortnight we follow Marlies' card. I see some interest on the right with jelly beans and a sentiment below it.

My sentiment placement was  kinda forced with the placement of the flowers.

My interest on the right side I made with a Lisa Horton 3d Embossing folder ( Lily of the valley blooms)

Then I die cut the Marianne design Lily of the Valley (LR0896) and I purposely used a off white cardstock as I thought they wouldn't stand out, could probably have inkblended them a little like I did with the green bits..didn't think  of it until just now ...oh well ...

The sentiement is from Simon Says Stamp (It's your birthday) and I stamped it with Memento inks (Cottage Ivy).

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