AAA Cards #222 – Moodboard

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

So much inspiration in this moodboard. I decided to go a bit cutsie and use a digital image that I coloured with my Stampin Blends and I created a sentiment on my PC which I cut out and popped up individually.

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired. Check out the projects that the other artists at AAA Cards have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us. You have until Saturday, 3rd September to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Fusion: Seagull Beach

Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

I love this sketch and decided to create a series of punched circles with the colours of the inspiration photo. I created a very thin matt layer in the central colour and added a sentiment from Uniquely Creative across the centre to tie the circles together.

Come join in the fun and make a card based on the sketch, inspiration photo or fuse them together and play with both! Check out the projects that the other artists at Fusion have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us. You have until Wednesday, 1st September at 7pm Melbourne Time or Tuesday 31st August 12pm US Pacific Time to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Just Add Ink #617 – Just Choose Two – Gingham/Dots/Diecuts

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

I chose Dots and Diecuts for my card. I stamped two of the Catherine Pooler Dsigns ‘Cottage Garden background stamp’. I then coloured one of the backgrounds and diecut a number of different sized circles from that panel. I added those diecut circles over the uncoloured background to give my card a spotlight effect.

I love how this card came out ans will make more in this style.

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired.

AAA Cards #221 – Small & Few opt (lady) bugs

Hello there, it’s time for another challenge over at AAA Cards and do we have a great theme for you!

I don’t have any lady bug stamps but had some small dragonflies in a Penny Black set ‘T for Transparent’ that I knew would be perfect for this challenge. I stamped a number around my sentiment as if they were flying along. I coloured them with some very pale blue and added a little bit of clear glitter to them (a bit hard to see in the pics but IRL they are very pretty)

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Fusion: Wine & Cheese

Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

I decided to follow the sketch and be inspired by the wine glass and bottle in the photo. I used a stamp set from PTI called ‘Uncorked’.

I kept the rest of my card CAS as I wanted the focus on the bottle and glasses.

Come join in the fun and make a card based on the sketch, inspiration photo or fuse them together and play with both!

Just Add Ink #615 – Just Add Inspiration

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great theme for you!

I was inspired by the colours, the pebble, the wood elements and the plants for my card. I used a stamp and dei set from the My Monthly Hero Kit January 2022.

See how I made the pebble stepping stones look like the wooden plank pathway?
