More swaps today. This one did not have a name with it, so I do not know who to give credit to. Sorry. Let me know if this is your card!
This card was made by Jenine. I love her watercolouring and sponguing she used on this card.
No stamping on this card. Just creative use of the level 3 hostess DSP. There was no name with this card, do I am not sure who to give credit to.
More swaps up tomorrow.
I just got back my set of 16 AMAZING swaps from the down-line swap my up-line Heather Summers hostess. There are a lot of very talented stampers on this team, and I am always happy to swap with them. We did a full card swap. A lot of us used Rich Razzleberry as one of our colours...weird. I will share the swaps over the next few days.
This first card is made by Joanne. She hand cut out 2 of the flowers from Fifth Ave. Floral for each card. She is crazy.
The last card for today was made by Michelle. I love the new Rich Razzleberry colour.
I'll have 3 more swaps to share tomorrow.
For this card, I used last weeks sketch challenge (SC238) from SCS. I love all of the daily challenged SCS offers. They are great to use for inspiration. This card came together pretty quickly, and I am loving this colour combo.
The base of my card is Melon Mambo. It is layered with Basic Black, Pretty in Pink and Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. I added an additional panel that uses the same card stock and DSP.
I stamped the butterflies on Whisper White card stock using Melon Mambo and Basic Black (for the larger butterfly). I mounted these on Basic Black and attached them the the smaller panel. I carefully cut out (my punch arrives this week) the larger panel, so do not look that close at the cutting and attached it threw the middle. The wings are fluffed to make the butterfly look like it is flying off the page. Hope you like the card! Have a great day!
When I was at my mom's last week for Marika's Birthday, she offered me a colour challenge. She know that I do not really like the new Soft Suede, so she challenged me to make a card using Pale Plum, Rich Razzleberry and Soft Suede. I really was not sure at first, but I went with it. Here is the card.
The base of the card is Pale Plum. The two DSP layers are Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede and Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. I stamped my image twice. First in Pale Plum, and then a second time in Rich Razzleberry. The image is slightly offset to create a shadow effect. This is mounted on Pale Plum, Soft Suede and Rich Razzleberry. I popped this up using dimensionals. The final touch is some vintage brads. They are really close in colour to Soft Suede and I really like how they complete the card. Let me know what you think!
I made this card last week for the Clean and Simple challenge on SCS. The challenge was to use Turquoise, Summer Sun and Orange. I was good with the Turquoise and Summer Sun, but I do not use Only Orange at all. Here is the card I made.
The base is Tempting Turquoise. It is layered with Summer Sun, Only Orange and Good Morning Sunshine DSP. I added some Turquoise ribbon before attaching this layer to my card front.
The image is stamped twice on Whisper White card stock. First in Summer Sun, and then again in Only Orange. I offset the second image. This is layered on Summer Sun and Tempting Turquoise.
Hope you like the card. Have a great day!
I was blog surfing last weekend, and I went to Jen del Muroblog. She offers a weekly sketch, so I decided to play. I have been having fun this summer playing with some of my old favourited sets and this (Winged Things) is in my top 10 along with In Full Bloom.
I chose to use Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink and Basic Black as my colours. I loved this colour combo when I first saw it in the new SU cattie. I pared these colour with some Melon Mambo DSP from the Razzleberry Lemonade.
I am really happy with this card, but I have to say these photo's just do not do the card justice! Hope you like it. Have a great day!My image was stamped using Stone Grey Stazon ink. I used my aqua painted and ink pads (Melon Mambo, Pretty in Pink, Basic Grey and Black) to colour in the image. As always, I start with the lightest colour (Pretty in Pink), and add shading with my darker shade. After my image was coloured and dried, I cut out a second dragonfly, and attached it to the main image. I carefully bent up the wings to make it look like it was flying.
I am really not sure about this card. It did not turn out the way I was hoping when I made it. I wanted to play around with Soft Suede (still not sure about this colour, but it might be growing on me) and Crushed Curry. This card uses a SCS sketch from about two weeks ago.
The base of the card is Kraft. It is layered with Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Kraft. On the Kraft layer I stamped the flowers from Fifth Ave. Floral using Soft Suede, Crushed Curry and Versa Mark. I really think SU! needs to come out with a Kraft coloured ink. The center panel is Suede and Curry with some Kraft taffeta ribbon. The bride is stamped on Kraft using Suede ink. She is layer on Curry and Suede. I popped her up with dimensionals.
Hope you like the card! Have a great day!
This is one of the first cards made (way back in June) when I received my pre-view stuff. This card came together very quickly.
The base is Melon Mambo. It is layered with Rich Razzleberry and Razzleberry Lemonade DSP. On Whisper White card stock I stamped the floral image (from Pocket Silhouettes) in Crushed Curry. Over top of the silhouette image I stamped the cursive happy, from Happy Everything. This was one of my first stamp set, and I love it. This is mounted on Crushed Curry and Rich Razzleberry. "Everything" is stamped on Whisper White and is punched out using the word window. This is layer on a small oval. I hope you like the card. Have a great day!
Monday was my Mother and Father-in-law's 35th Anniversary! I have the best in-laws ever and I am so happy for them. Can you imagine being married for 35 years! This is one of my favourite stamp sets ever. It was one of the first I purchased when it retired close to 3 years ago. I used it A LOT when I first got it, and now I only bring it out from time to time. I will never let this set go. I have been using this layout a lot lately...it just seems to be working for me.
I wanted to use this awesome colour combo which I am in love with. Pale Plum, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive. I knew these colours would be great for watercolouring...so off I went. The base of my card is Pale Plum. I used one of the stamps from the set to add some detail to the right side. Next, I used Razzleberry Lemonade DSP, Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive to create a side panel. I did not want to have the dots showing on my Razzleberry ribbon, so I very carefully tied my bow and voila, no dots. This is what I really love about the new in colour ribbons.
I stamped the image on watercolour wonder paper using Stone Grey Satzon ink. I prefer this over the Jet Black as it is a little softer. I used my aqua painter and ink pads to colour the image in. I always start with the lightest colour and shade with the darker colour. The blossom is colour using Pale Plum and Rich Razzleberry. The center is coloured using Creamy Caramel, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip. For the stem and leaf I used Certainly Celery and Old Olive. Tip: Rich Razzleberry is a very strong colour, when you apply it to your aqua painter, dab it on you scratch paper to make sure you have the desired colour.
After allowing the image to dry, I cut and applied a second blossom to create a 3-D effect. You cannot see it in the photo, but I added some dazzling diamonds to the dots around the flower.
I hope you like the card! Have a great day.
Just a quick post to share the card I made for my friend Amanda's Birthday.
I am loving this colour combination. So much in fact I used it to make my swaps for Heather Summer's down-line swap and for 50 convention swaps. I am also loving this stamp set. Circle Circus ROCKS!!
I used Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Pale Plum. Hope you like the card. Check back tomorrow to check out the card I made my my in-laws anniversary! Have a great day.
