Sketch Saturday #761 – Opt use orange on your card

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

I love the colour orange so it was an easy decision for me to use it on my card. I also used some new DSP from Stampin Up called ‘Mediterranean Blooms’ that I fussy cut a bloom that had 3 ornages on it to match the sketch. I popped the image up over a pair of die cut circles and added a sentiment from my stash.

AAA Birthday #66 – Circle Shaped

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

I used up a stack of DSP scraps with a variety of circle punches in different sizes and then overlaid them to create my background. I added a circle sentiment from Uniquely Creative with some looped twine behind it and my card was done.

Maybe I took the circle theme a bit too far or maybe I didn’t I’ll leave that up to you to decide!

Just Add Ink #721 – Photo Inspiration

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

I was inspired by the cups in the photo (I know they probably have hot chocolate in them but I prefer coffee!). I printed the coffee cup on 3 different DSPs and fussy cut them out to ake 1 take=away cup. I did some ink smoosing for the background with Early Espresso and Soft Suede inks. I made the sentiment on my PC.

I’ll probably give this card to a friend of mine who loves coffee more than I do!

AAA Cards #274 Sketch

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

The sketch inspired me to do some bokeh sponging. I used a variety of yellow and orange inks from Altenew then added some butterflies I’d previously coloured and fussy cut out. I wasn’t planning on having a coloured cardbase, but I accidentally sponged my bokeh background with the card fold upside down – LOL.

Just Add Ink #719 – Colour Challenge

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

I love these colours together – it screamed flowers and ink smooshing! I used a die from Paper Roses called ‘Blooming Flowers’ which I overlaid on the watercolour card stock before I did the ink smooshing so that I could get the colours roughly in the right area before I used the die.

I really likehow this came out and the grey carbase really makes the colours pop.

Hello there, it’s time for another Sketch Saturday Challenge and do we have a great sketch for you!

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

I love how broad this theme is, all you have to do is make it a birthday card! I used some Stampin Up DSP ‘Rock & Roll’ which I coloured with my Stampin Blends and then popped up the sentiment over some bronze twine and a couple of die cut pics.

AAA Cards #273 – ATG CAS opt Get Well

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

After the month she’s had, I think I need to give this card to my daughter. She’s been diagnosed with chronic glandula fever, which has seen her one week on, one week off school depending on how tired and unwell she feels. Not the best situation to be in with her in her final year of high school. Only 6 more weeks to go before study break and exams., so hopefully we’ve seen the worst of it.

For my card I used a stamp set from Purple Onion Stamps called ‘Elliot & Marcel – Hugs & Feeling Blue’. These are the cutest images which were perfect for this challenge. I stamped, coloured with my Stampin Blends and fussy cut out the flat elephant. I added a brick background die cut behind and the sentiment from the same stamp set and my card was done.
