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.

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.

AAA Cards #272 – Sketch

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

I coloured and fussy cut 3 flowers from the Stampin Up True Love DSP. This is probably my favourtie DSP that Stampin Up has ever amde (big call I know)! I added some crystal lacquer to the flower centres and popped up a sentiment from Uniquely Creative and my ard was done.

AAA Cards #270 Sketch

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

I loved the look of the blue banner, so decided to use that on my card, sponging Pacific Point and Starry Sky inks from Stampin Up. I stamped, coloured and fussy cut a cute little platypus from the Uniquely Cretive – You’re Weird stamp set. I added some crystal lacquer to the goggles and then created some air bubbles from the snorkle.

For those that may not know, the platypus is a duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed, egg-laying aquatic creature native to Australia.

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.

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

I used a couple of old retired stamp sets for my card – Stampin’ Up ‘Enjoy the rhythm’ and Reverse Confetti ‘Inner Rock Star’. I coloured the guitars with my SU Blends in Lemon Lime Twist and added them to a white panel on a Lemon Lime Tiwst card base. I added a few green gems for balance.

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.
