FUSION Card Challenge #7

Hi,

It was a very busy weekend with activities for girl scouts, birthday parties, dinner with friends but I was happy to have found some time to create this weekend. I think the proximity of my new craft space in the basement has something to do with it.

I played again with the FUSION Card Challenge this week but decided to tackle Lesley's challenge.





I made several attempts before this one because I tried to emboss the entire flower over both the dotted and kraft base but there was always a small gap where the edges met so the flower ended up looking like it was in two pieces. So in the end decided to clear emboss the hydrangea flower only as well as the bow.

Paper: Memory Box Kraft, PTI Soft Stone & Soft Stone Dots
Stamps: PTI Happy Hydrangea
Other: PTI Happy Hydrangea dies, American Crafts Clear Embossing Powder, Versamark Ink

Stars & Birthday Wishes

Here's a card I made using the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #28. Love the PTI Super Stars set because its so versatile. I die cut the largest star and popped up the card panel to create depth. I chose masculine colors for the Clean and Simple Masculine challenge at Paper Players this week.









Have a good week!

ColourQ #189

This week's ColourQ challenge reminded me a little bit of Christmas so it was hard for me to think beyond a holiday themed card. So when in doubt, I often revert to my comfort zone which is a graphic look.

Paper: PTI Pure Poppy & White
Stamps: PTI From You to Me & Fillable Frame Sentiments
Ink: PTI Berry Sorbet & Pure Poppy, Stampin Up Certainly Celery, Momento Tuxedo Black

Teacher Thank You

Here is Teacher Thank You card using one of my old favorites Trendy Tree Tops. I originally planned to have the entire panel with the alphabet background but an even background was difficult to achieve all the way up the entire card. I salvaged the bottom portion by turning it into a landscape using the In The Meadow die.

This week's ColourQ challenge is my inspiration.
