AAA Cards #254 – Black, White & Gold

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

I love this colour combo – so classy!

For my card I used a new stamp set from Stampin Up called ‘Friendship Royalty’ that I heat embossed with gold embossing powder, popped the black panel up on some glittery gold card stock and then onto a white card base.

AAA Cards #253 – Fall/Leaves

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

I was hard for me to think about fall colours as we are well and truely into Spring here in Australia. Having said that I knew I had the perfect crafty bundle from Stampin Up ‘Beautiy of Friendship’ stamps, dies and matching DSP for my card. I did a bit of ink sponging on the leaf part of my tree with some Old Olive ink just to darken them a bit.

AAA Cards #252 – Colour Scheme

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

As we’re approaching Christmas, I’m in desperate need of Christmas cards, so I went to my all time favourite Christmas tree stamp from Altenew ‘Sketched Evergreen’ and my Stampin Up inks in Tahitian Tide, Pacific Point and Night of Navy. Can I just say that I love making Christmas cards in non-traditional colours. If you look really closely, you might see some sparkle that I added to the sentiment.

AAA Cards #251 – Anything Spooky Goes

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 many images for Halloween as it’s not something we send cards for here in Australia; but I do have a cute set from Simon Says Stamp called ‘If the hat fits’. So I stamoed one of the hats and coloured it with my Stampin Blends in Pumkin Pie and Rich Razzelberry and popped it onto of a panel sponged with Granny Apple Green ink.

AAA Cards #250 – Inkblending – 3 or more colours

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

I love a bit of ink blending as it looks so stunning for very little effort! I used Altenew inks in Ultraviolet, Deep iris and Puffy heart to sponge my rectangle panel. I then added a die cut sentiment across the centre and my card was done!

AAA Cards #249 – Skies, Galaxies, Planets & a DT Call

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

Usually when I hear the word galaxies, I think of a solid looking sky sponged background, but this being a CAS challenge, i had to think a bit differently. I went through my stamp stashknowing I had a stamp set that woould help me keep my card CAS. I found my Concord & 9th ‘Globe Greetings’stamp set. I gold heat embossed the globe base and white heat embossed the sentiment on a punched black circle. I then punches aseries of little flowers and leaves to form the blooms on the side of my globe.

AAA Cards #246 – Sketch opt a baby card

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

I love the simplicity of this sketch and new it would look great with a series of the same flower stamped across the top (I chose not to go with the option of a baby card). I used a flower from the Stampin Up ‘Delicate Dahlias’ stamp set inked up in Stampin Up Bubble Bath and Lemon Lime Twist inks.

AAA Cards #243 – Outdoor Activity

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

I was in need of a card for my nephew who’s a keen surfer, so it was perfect timining with this challenge inspiration. I used a digital surfer image and did some ink blending for the water. I then added some white gesso to look like the foam beneath the surfboard and a sentiment from my PC.
