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 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 Colourful Challenge #29

 Hello, this month we have some pretty colours, but it took me a minute to figure out how to use them.

I came across an image of a bird and it seemed to have the perfect colours a Lilac Throated Roller.

for my bird I used a dieset from Nellie Snellen  (crs d022 bird on branch) it comes with a circluar frame, but I ended up cutting that off, it's as wide as my card front. I diecut it from watercolirng paper and applies Distress inks.

It's not the same bird, but I tried to  make it look like the Roller; I'v eused: Shaded Lilac, Seedless Preserves and Picked Raspberry to make th eshade fit better, lille bit of Wilted Violet in there too. Then Speckled Egg, Prize Ribbon and Peacock  feathers, Vintage photo for my neutral.

Mounted ienie tinie tiny bits of foamt behine the bird. while I was coloring the diecut I also splattered the same colours on the cardbase.

No sentiment as I don't know if it is stil Christmas or not.

I look forward to what you come up with, I think a pretty butterfly would also take these colours, you can enter your card here.

AAA Colourful Challenge #28

 

Hello this months we have a fun colourboard for you. I immediately saw space in it or galaxy if you prefer. I even found the perfect 12x12 cardstock from Craft Sensations in my stash, had to use it.

My rocket is from Crafter's Companion (Space traveler) and I diecut it from matching colours of cardstock

Mounted the rocket with foamtape. Not sure about a sentiment yet and it would need to go on the inside ;-)

I look forward to your  makes, please enter your card here.

AAA Colourful Challenge #27

 Hello this month I kinda took the colourbadge literally, well as literal as I could. I used a kakatoo I think instead of a Macaw bird, didn't have that.

My dies are from Spellbinders (Flying High) and cut it from coloured cardstock. Now in the badge you can see a bit of dark blue and even yellow and some purple dark red, but in the colour bar a red, 2 pinks , blue and green. 

I used 2 shades of pink that looks more salmon like on the photo and I used brown and black as neutrals for the beak and twig p.e. I don't have all the shades of cardstock I would like.

For the background I've used a Studio Light  mask  (Tropical leaves), the sentiment is also

Studio Light (NL Gefeliciteerd).

I look forward to what you come up with, you can enter your card here.

AAA Colourful #26

 Hello this month we have a new interesting game badge, is it hail, snow, ice crystals? don't  know but I went  more tropical with my scene.

I started inkblending the cardbase, realised I put the sky or sea at the bottom, so cut that part into a strip and turned it around for a sandy beach and Sea/sky, maybe a desert at night as it's quite moody in the blue department, oh well I wish I thought of that earlier, I might have made it into a Christmas card ;-)

Anyway I've used Memento inks: Nautical blue, Teal Zeal, Toffee Crunch, Desert Sand and Card deco's Beige.

The palm tree is a diecut from
Marianne Design: LR0541 and the sentiment  (means Congrats) is from Studio Light (Nl Gefelciteerd) and I thought it might work for a
number of occasions.

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

AAA Colourful #25

 Hello this month I saw old fashioned test screen from TV in I dunno  when they stopped, but if you know you know, once the programming stopped you'd get a special screen, or with technical difficulties.

So my card is a rendering of one of those screens, they might have been different per country, I don't know.

I diecut strips of coloured cardstock  twice for each colour.then adehered them to the cardbase. ealving a little border. a strip of black card in the middle. 

With my Brother label printer I made the text, it's whie lettering on transparent tape. it's a bit shiny, because of the flash I need to use, but looks better in real life.

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

AAA Colourful #24

 

Hello, this month our theme is quite pink, like pink pink pink and some more pink...well it's almost Valentine's day, so I made one of those cards.

At first I wanted to use the Clearly Besotted Laugh out loud Love, but I didn't fancy any of them with my images which is also Clearly Besotted (Stupid Cupid)

I stamped the images with Extreme black ink from My Favorite Things and coloured them with Graph-it Brush markers and Spectrum Noirs.

Made the background with Distress inks and a cloud Stencil from Marianne Design (PS8024) and applied Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar and whatever was left on my inkblending brushes

Mounted the images with foamtape and adhered them to the cardbase.

The sentiment is also Clearly Besotted but went with Tiny type in the end and Versafine Morning mist

I'm looking forward to your card, you can enter them here.

AAA Colourful Challenge #23: Dec-Jan

 Hello this month I see ice or snow and I went for a Snowflake like stencil with Distress inks.

I bought this set of stencils from Action and there isn't a brand on it, only 5pcs set. also it's probably no longer available as you need to get them when you see them, Action is funny that way.

I've used, Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon and a bit of Uncharted Mariner I think that was left on my brush.

I then Stamped the sentiment, that's probably also no longer available, it's from Simon Says Stamp and I had it for years (SSS101644 Merry Christmas)

I splattered some silver ink on the whole card for some icey shine.

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

 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.

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

AAA Colourful Challenge #20: sept-Oct

 Hello, this month, I am in the mood for Halloween and the game badge might just be inspired by the Halloween colors of old. 

I see, green, orange, purple , gold and black and for my card I used Distress inks (Wilted Violet, Carved Pumpkin and Fossilized Amber and Picked Raspberry). 

I made other cards with green and I just couldn't get a good blend it all went muddy, no matter how careful I was, so I omitted the Twisted citron in favour of Fossilized amber or that creme colour in the colour  bar. The blend looks better in person than on the photo.

I printed the images I found on Png Wing, it's 2 different files, I combined them in Photoshop where I also added the sentiment as I can't find my one Halloween set...

Added white gel pen to the Bat eyes for an extra spooky look and feel.

I sure do look forward to your cards and what you see in the game badge, enter your card here.

These were stamped with Marianne Design stamps and my Whimsy Halloween sentiments set.

AAA Colourful Challenge #19: Aug-Sept

 Hello this month I feel all Autumny and my card reflects that and so does the game badge I suppose.

I inkblended two panels randomly with Distress ink (Fired Brick, Crackling Campfire, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry)

The sentiment is from Studio Katia: Mini Birthday Greeting and I stamped it in Dark Red (Card Deco ink)

I diecut the leaves with the Sizzix/Tim Holtz leaf dies ( 665559) and adhered them onto the cardbase. Added some glossy accents to make  them look wet.

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