AAA cards Challenges #304: Sketch

 

Hello, this fortnight we have a sketch and well I just found the perfect stamp for it in my stash, it's an oldie from Craft Sensations a set I bought mostly for the Stag in it, but the little bauble is just super.

I even stamped them in the same colors, kind of, I've used Memento inks ( Grape Jelly, Paris Dusk and Cottage Ivy).
the sentiment is something I've printed with my laser printer, then foiled with toner foils. I think the font is called Gatsby.

Diecut it with the Whimsy Stamps Simple Sentiment Strips and mounted it with foamtape.

I also made a second card with three adorable mice from Impronte D'Autore (Tutti Nelle Calze 1218UMS) I  stamped it with Extreme Black ink and colored the image with alcohol markers. the sentiment is also a gold foiled printed sentiment, cut out with the Whimsy stamps Simple Sentiment Strips and inset in a gold border.

I sure look forward to your makes and remember, you don't have to use the same shape and or colors I've used in the sketch, you can rotate the sketch if you want, or flip it, as long as we can see the sketch in your card.

AAA Colourful Challenge #22: Nov-Dec


 Hello, this month I made a Christmas card, not with baubles as the game badge might inspire, but a white Polar Bear with red Scarf and gold sentiment.

the Polar Bear is from Impronte D'Autore (Baby Polar Bear)

The gold sentiment is metallic cardstock with double sided adhesive on the back, no way I can put glue on that  skinny font. Gummiapan dies D201177 Merry Christmas

Very simple, but I like it.

Love to see what you come up with, you can enter your cards here.

AAA Cards Challenge #303: 1+1

 

Hello , this fortnight We have the 1+1 again. I picked Birthday (of course) with the Balloons, just one in my case.

I've used the Trinity Stamps Birthday Shark, stamped it with Extreme black ink from My Favorite Things and colored it with alcohol markers, then cut it out and mounted it with foam tape.

For the cardbase I stamped the sentiment first, it's from the same set and I used Versafine ink, then applied Distress inks (Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Mermaid Lagoon) and splattered with water. for that fun bubbles effect.

Then I adhered the shark on top, I made sure it peeked out here and there, as I like that look, but it would fit inside the blue too.

I thought the shark would look cool all glistening and slathered it in Nuvo Shimmer pen, a bit  more than I wanted, but I put the pen upright in my pen holder and all the ink went down to the nib and ok it's still cute  hehe, pilled the paper a bit though when I tried to wipe some off I made the sea shimmery too ;-)




I look forward to your makes and what combinations you pick. You can enter your card here.

AAA Birthday Card Challenge #79: Music

 

Hello, this month our theme is music.

For my card I used the guitar from Marianne Design, it's discontinued but you can find it here and there, and I"m so happy I was able to get one, of course there's others, but I loved this one the most as it's a bassguitar (LR0657) and I diecut it from colored cardstock and silver metallic cardstock.

I made the background with the Woodware Sheet Music stamp, not sure if it's still around, I stamped it with Versafine Morning Mist and after inking the stamps I dabbed some ink off here and there, to give you that worn look.

Stuck the guitar on top and smothered  the red case with -Glossy Accents so it looks like that lacquered wood guitars have and I love it. I almost did the chords with silver but decided it would be too bright.

The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps (Simple Sentiment Strips) and I stamped it with Versafine Crimson red to echo the guitar.



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