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.

AAA Birthday Cards Challenge #87

 

Hello this month we'd like to see birthday cards for Girls.

For my card I used a My Favorite Things stamp  Fairy Happy, stamped it, let the Scan n Cut do the cutting and colored her with  alcohol markers, both Graphit Brush and Spectrum Noir.

The sentiment is from the same set and I stampe dit on the card base.

for the focal point I inkblended Distress inks through a circle mask and the Tropical Leaves mask from Studio light.

Mounted the fairy with foamtape and adhered her to the card.

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