AAA Card Challenge #324: follow Helen's lead

 Hello this fortnight we play a follow my lead again, it was my turn but I gave it to new dt member Helen.

Her card is below. I dodn't do square cards a  lot, but I made this circle and an image or item in the centre.

I was convinced her plane was flying out of the circle, but I guess that was my card from a few years agi which I also included.

In any cas emy element is a pumpkin as it's almost Halloween. I couldn't find my hallow een stamset, so I added that in photoshop.

the pumpkin is from Echo Park (Happy Jack o Lanterns) and I

diecut it from colored card, added some shading with Distress inks in different oranges until I found th eone that showed up the best, so it looks a bit more 3d. I think I treid carved pumpkin, then crackling campfire and then Fired Brick. the green stem was easier with just a bit of Mowed Lawn.

For the backgrond I inkblendend WIlted VIolet and Villanous poison through a mask, then splattered with silver and orange metallic paint.

Mounted the pumpkin with foamtape and adhered it to the card.

 

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

AAA Colourful Challenge #32

Hello, this month we have a fun colour  challenge, I saw cacti with their bright flowers. 

I've used the Find it Trading set BBD10039 and cut it from coloured cardstock. I made the lime green one with Distress  inks Twisted Citron.

The sentiment is from Studio Light (NL Gefeliciteerd), I used a  bit of Twisted citron on the card base to achor the pots, not sur eyou can see it as I covered 99% of that ...that was useful haha.

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

AAA Card Challenge #323: M is for....

 

Moose! and my moose is from Gummiapan, I diecut him 3 times to give him some weight.

I was clever enough to use double sided sticky tape on the back of the cardstock, or those skinny legs would have been impossible to stick down.

for my background I just thought of Moon!  oh man..I didn't like my purple circle at first, walked away, came back and I thought oh that's ok.

I made it with Distress inks: Chipped Sapphire, Villainous Poison, Wilted VIolet and Dusty Concord for the trees through a Whimsy Stamps Stencil (Winter Wonderland). Splattered with water and Lawn Fawn Liquid Star Dust.

Sentiment from My Favorite Things : Bitty Holiday Wishes.

Now excuse me while I go make one with a (yellow) moon.

So 2 cards and completely different look, same circle mask, same tree stencil, same diecut (one layer this time) but Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed and Black Soot Distress inks, same liquid Startdust, same sentiment set, but different phrase.

 

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

AAA Birthday Cards Challenge #89

Hello, this month we want you to use patterned paper.

I only have cardstock I use for my gift boxes, so I rummaged through my pile and found this pretty polka dot like paper (Craft Sensation Christmas pack), I cut one card panel and the letters from the dotted paper, then from a solid cardtock I cut the shadow layer, I went for a slightly darker tone, I had one matching the pink dots, but I thought it needed the darker to contrast.

It's from My Favorite Things (Birthday Vibes dienamics) and I like how it looks like I cut the letters from the shadow layer  and the cardbase is shining through. I had added double sided tape on the back of the letters so adhering them to the shadow layer is as easy as sticking stickers down,

Mounted the shadow layer with foamtape.

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