Joyful frame

 The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is: frame it.

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: No stamps allowed!. Blimey and that in Stamptember lol...a challenge indeed as I like my critter stamps ;-).

So I thought long and hard and came up with this card with diecutting only. I've used the Simon Says Stamp  Joyful frame, obviously,  and a holly twig from Marianne Design. I've diecut the holly from green cardstock and the berries from glitter cardstock.

I diecut the Joyful frame from a cardpanel. At first I wanted to use the skinny frame and words,but while I was using this negativeto

place back the letters, I thought it looked far more CAS. So I carefully peeled off the skinny frame from the carbase on which I had applied Fired Brick Distress ink.

Mounted everything flush with taperunner, I ended up with two frames, the skinny red on and the one around the cardpanel. I think this looks so stylish. I've added the Holly twig just for those who need more detail, otherwise I would have left it off;-).

AAA Cards Challenges #174: Up to 1/3 + Woodland Animals, with video

This fortnight the AAA Cards Challenge is: up to1/3 and with the option to use woodland animals.

Our Sponsor is Crafty Scrappers and you could win:



For my card I cut a circle window in a panel with the Memory Box Tree branch cirle.
Traced the opening onto the cardbase and applied Distress Oxides. I noticed a smear and some damages, so I redid this panel off camera.

The sentiment and my woodland animal are from CC Designs  Foxes. I also had diecut some skinny tall trees to reinforce the wood feeling, but I didn't use them as I liked my inkblended background.

I coloured the fox with bunny with Spectrum Noir markers. Adhered the panel and fox to the cardbase.

Shades of Purple

 
The new Less is More challenge is: shades of purple.

Perfect for Halloween I thought, so I inkblended Distress inks onto a cardbase (Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender) and stamped the silhouettes from Marianne Design  (CS1039) with Versafine ink.

The Sentiment is from Carlijn Design (Halloween & Sint Maarten).
