AAA Cards #291 – Follow my Lead – Sue Symons

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

I loved everything about Sue’s card so didn’t change up much except for the sentiment and the location of the sentiment. I used an alphabet die for the main word and then a stamp from MFT ‘All About You’ for the you word. Such a classy looking card with that edge of gold embossing.

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, 7th June to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Just Add Ink #752 – Photo Inspiration

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

This is such a cute card. I was inspired by the flowers on the back of this VW Beetle and the wedding vibe of the photo. I used the largest woman from the Stamp by me ‘Beautiful Inside & Out’ stamp set. I coloured the image using Stampin Blends in Crumb Cake, Seaside Spray, Bubble Bath amd Soft Seafoam. The sentiment is from Stampin Up ‘Charming Sentiments’. Can you see the little bit of netting I’ve added to her hair to look like a bridal veil?

AAA Cards #290 – Anything CAS Birthday Goes

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

The flag benner in the challenge image inspired be to use some musical notes up the side of my card. I then coloured and popped us the guitar from Stampin Up ‘Enjoy the Rhythm’ with a sentiment from ‘Approaching Perfection’. A nice and simple card for a music lover.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Just Add Ink #750 – Colour Challenge

Hello there, it’s time for another Just Add Ink Challenge and do we have a great colour theme for you – Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink, Summer Splash and Basic Black.

For the grass part of my card, I used the retired Stampin Up ‘Inspired by Nature’ stamp which was inked in Basic Black. I then sponged the Summer Splash and added little flowers in Peach Pie and Pretty in Pink. The sentiment is from Stampin Up ‘Charming Sentiments’. I added texture to the card base using the Stampin Up ‘Tasteful Textures’ embossing folder.

AAA Birthday #73 – Anything Birthday Goes

Hello there, it’s our 6th Birthday over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

I was inspired by the balloons in our challenge picture, so decided to mimic it. I used a stencil from Studio Katia ‘ Birthday Balloons duo’ which I inked and overlapped using Stampin Up inks in Balmy Blue, Azure Afternoon and Pacific Point. I added a sentiment form CAS-ual Fridays retired stamp set ‘Whole Shebang’.
