AAA Cards #269 – ATG CAS opt twist Summer (colours)

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

I went with the optional twist of summer colours, which to me are shades of sunset yellows and oranges. So I sponged a strip in the centre of my card, then stamped a flower from the Stampin Up ‘Flowers of Beauty’ stamp set in black to look like a silhouette. The sentiment is from Close to my Heart ‘Birthday Time’.

AAA Cards #268 – Sketch

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

I sponged a series of different sized circles using my Altenew inks and then stamped one of the girls from the Visible Images set ‘hip hop girls’ and popped the panel up on an orange cardbase. Love how simple this was to make but effective with the different coloured circles.

AAA Cards #266 – sketch

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

I thought this sketch was perfect for a Christmas card. I stamped three of the baubes from the old Stampin Up “Ornament Keepsake’ stamp set and coloured them with my Stampin Blends in Cucumber Crush, Tahitian Tide and Melon Mambo. I die cut them and popped one up with dimensionals. I added a sentiment from Uniquely Creative.
