AAA Birthday Card Challenge July: Fabulous Flowers #63

 

Hello, this month we're all about the Fabulous Flowers.

I prefer to color pets and animals, so I don't have a lot of them, but a few key items I do have.

Also I don't like to color flowers.

So for my card I've used a Lili of the Valley flowered circular opening into a cardpanel.

Stamped the sentiment in Versafine Morning Mist. It's from Clearly Besotted Brushed Greetings II.

On the cardbase , behind the opening I've inkblended Distress inks: Salvaged Patina and Tumbled glass, with whatever was left on the brushes.

Adhered the panel to the cardbase. I left the little bells loose as I thought that would look more whimsical.

it's a Nope from Dudley

 

Hello, today I felt all sassy and cheeky, but I chickened out ;-)

I did print the Dudley Flipping (Censored version) from Whimsy Stamps and the Dustin Pike line.

There's also an uncensored version in the set, so you can choose.

I did add the Nope on his little sign when prepping the digi and I colored it with alcohol markers, then cut it out and mounted it with foam tape.

For the background I've used Tumbled Glass and Lost Shadow Distress inks through the Whimsy Stamps Winter

Wonderland stencil.

I wanted to add a sassy sentiment, like "feel like going hiking? , or " let's go explore" or "let's go on an adventure", or "Want to go to the Woods today?" but I didn't put it on the front, might put it on the inside, not sure, as I say I chickened out, but you might be braver than me ;-), so go ahead and show me your makes.

you can find the digi in the Whimsy store:

AAA Card Challenge #268: Sketch Challenge

 Hello, another sketch this fortnight.

For  the sketch  I've used a cat image, but it could be any thing, doesn't even have to be a silhouette, but I took that idea and the colors of the sketch for my card.

I did rotate the sketch to the bottom, made more sense with my silhouette stamp.

It's from Nellie's Choice cscf003. The circles are inkblended with Distress inks:  Milled Lavender, Victorian Velvet and Seedless Preserves.

Sentiment from Whimsy Stamps Simple Sentiment strips and I stamped the sentiment and image with Versafine black ink.

Toucan Surf

 

Hello, today I'm using the Whimsy Stamps digi Toucan Surf, together with a few mor Whimsy Goodies, read on to find out.

For my card I printed and colored the digi from the Dustin Pike line: Toucan surf and cut it out.

For the cardbase I made a mask with the Mix and Match Marquee die set and inkblended Distress inks through it, I've used Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Gathered Twigs and Scattered Straw. Splattered with water for that ocean spray look.

Then I die cut the  Happy Large Word Die from White cardstock so brighten up the background and also so it stands out, I glued it to the cardbase.

Underneath I stamped the Birthday from the Happy Sayings clear set.

Mounted the image with foam tape and adhered it on top.

AAA Colourful Challenge #5

Doesn't our badge look a lot like Red White and blue, for those in the U.S. celebrating the 4th of July it might spark lots of ideas.

For me it was hard. but I then came up with the idea of a Greek Village and it's all white houses, a white Lighthouse with the hint of red from the badge and two colours of blue in the sky and the waves.

I diecut the elements from Your Next Stamp (Houses on a hill), Avec 3D dies, Gummia Pan Seagull from various colours of cardstock. (My first version was all white colored in with  markers...didn't like it as it wasn't as crisp.

Stacked and glues all the elements and stamped the sentiment in  red (Whimsy Stamps Simple Sentiment Strips)

I look forward to what you make, please enter your card here.

Mamacita needs a marghertia

 Hello this week I'm using the digi from Whimsy Stamps and Dustin Pike: Caramel Mamacita.

I printed it and colored it with alcohol markers.

The sentiment is included and I colored the outside with blue, so it stands out and gives that summer vibe, I think...

Then matted the panel and adhered it to a cardbase with tape runner.

Mounted the sentiment with foamtape

You can  find the image in the Whimsy Shop:

AAA Card Challenge #267: Anything Goes with the option of Masculine

 

This Fortnight we have  an Anything Goes Challenge with the optional twist of Masculine.

Masculine cards are difficult for a lot of people so it IS optional, just a direction to give you ideas if you 're stuck.

I made two cards , the first I have since then demoted to "not good enough" and not empty enough, esp the grass portion.

I've used the Katzelkraft Stamp Robot Chien and colored it with alcohol markers. It was in my stash and  those make for quick cards and can also help you take a direction.

To ground the image I've inkblended the Distress ink Cracked Pistachio as a grass like thing. 
The Happy Birthday is from Whimsy Stamps (Simple Sentiment Strips). Then mounted the image with Foamtape and stuck it on the cardbase.

I remade the card with an inkblended sun or sorts with Distress inks (Squeezed lemonade, Mustard Seed and Fossilized Amber). at first I thought to make a cloudy banner or and inkblended area, I felt I do that a lot, so I went for  the Sun, but I just realized Sue from our DT also grounded her image in a circle.  Maybe that gave me the idea, it's anything goes, so you do you.

For the Double Decker Airplane, I've used the dieset with the same name from Craft Emotions. At first I went all fancy on it with silver frame and a "red Baron"body..didn't like it, I'm so fickle ;-) I preferred it as a silhouette, but left the silver blades as if they're catching the sunlight, also so it stands out.

The sentiment is  the same as before.
