AAA Card Challenge #294: Follow the Leader

 Hello, this fortnight we're following Tristan's Lead.

Her card features a kind of text blocked area/bachground and a yellow butterfly.


For my card I replaced the text block with a huge sentiment from Woodware Stamps (Hello).

And for the yellow I attached another Woodware set (Bee Happy). ounted the bee with foamtape.

I hope you can see my twist on Tristan's card, and I look forward to what you make.

AAA Birthday Card Challenge #75: Summer Birthday

 

Hello, this month it is Summer on our blog and what could be more Summer like than a trip to the Beach?

A pebble beach for me..don't like sand getting everywhare, but these cuties from Clearly Besotted (Sunny Day Play) don't seem to care.

The sentiment is also Clearly Besotted (Brushed Sentiments)

I colored the images with alcohol markers and I made the background with what ever ink wa son my brushes plus Tumbled Glass and Mermai Lagoon Distress ink. Mounted the cuties with foamtape and adhered them to the card.


I look forward to your makes, to play along the AAA Birthday Card Challenge, see this.

AAA Card Challenge #293: Anything Cas goes

 Hello this fortnight we have an Anything CAS goes for you, with the optional twist of Sentiment focus.

So...for my card I used only a sentiment, it's a really old die from Simon Says Stamp (you are my favorite) and I cut it from a card panel.

On the cardbase I inkblended Distress inks ( Wilted Violet and Mermaid Lagoon), where the openings were. 

I did not replace all the letter inserts, I think you can read the message and it leaves more color peeking through.

Mounted the cardpanel with foamtape and adhered it to the cardbase

50th Anniversary of Jaws

 Hello, today marks 50 years of duh duh duhduhdu duh duh..if you know you know ;-)

I'm celebrating with many other Design Team Members from Whimsy Stamps and their products.

For my card I printed the digi From Crissy Armstrong: Shawn Shark, colored it with alcohol markers and then cut it out.

For the background I printed the word Sharkasm on a panel and also printed the "yes I just love my veggies", cos you know sharks aren't known for eating their veggies and it goes with Sharkasm or sarcasm.

I then masked off an area and applied Distress inks and one Memento ink:  Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Bahama Blue, splattered with water.

Then I used the Whimsy Ocean Stencil and with Black Soot I added the sharks and shoals of fish. I did them with b;ack, just so they  stay in the background.

Diecut a few elements from the Ocean Builder Dies set and adhered them onto the cardbase. added Shawn but raised them with foamtape.

I free handed the speechbubble and glued it to the card.

AAA Colourful Challenge #17: June-July

 

Hello, this month  our game badge might be inspired with the $th of July fireworks, but I went Halloween,  see oranges and purples, so made sense to me ;-)

I made a background on the cardbase by masking off an area and applying Distress inks (Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin, Crackling Campfire), them splattered with water and a gun metal grey paint.

the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps (Spirited Sentiments) and i stamped it with Versafine ink.

The images are ephemera from Dutch Doobadoo  (Dutch die cuts Hallo Herfst) and I mounted them with foamtape.



I look forward to what you see in the game badge colors and you can enter your makes here.

Floating by to say HI!

 Hello, today I'm using quite a few products from Whimsy Stamps.

First I printed the digi from the Some Odd Girl Line: Ice Cream Penguin, cut it out and colored it with alcohol markers. I did flip it to face the other side as at one point I thought it would work well with last week's card, but it was too busy for me, didn't use it then.

Then I diecut two floating ice sheets from the Wavy Nested Frames die set. I inkblended the lower edge to give it some shading, darker on the bottom to give the ice some height. I've used what ever Distress inks was left on my inkblending brushes, but if I had to guess it's Chipped Sapphire and Mermaid Lagoon with a hint of Tumbled Glass.

Glued them together to make my Ice sheet and adhered it to the card.

Splattered the card with a Shimmer pen so it looks like water splatter and adds a bit of shine.

I mounted the penguin on top with some foamtape.

The sentiment is also Whimsy stamps from the clear set Killer Friend and I thought this was very  on point for my card.


You can find the product in the Whimsy Store:
