AAA Cards Challenge #100 - Sketch

Hello everyone,

We are back with a sketch challenge for you with AAA Cards.  This was so much fun to create.  I was also able to do up a video for you and you can scroll down to see it.  

I masked off the card base with post-it notes and stamped the sweet little otter up and down with Lawn Fawn jet black in.  I love this ink.  I then took off the masking and took a ruler and made lines above and below the stamped images so they looked finished.

I coloured them in with my copics and stamped the sentiment from the Celebration Countdown set with the same ink. I then added the panel to a card base so you don't see the ink through to the inside. Sometimes this doesn't bother me but I didn't want to waste a card base just in case I messed it up.  To finish off the card I added some black dots with some Nuvo drops.

I hope you'll have as much fun with this sketch as we did. I hope you'll join us with our challenge.  We can't wait to see what you create.

I'm also entering my card for the SSS Wednesday Challenge

Hello everyone,

I'm here with another fall card for you and I'm joining in with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge, anything goes.

I have to admit that this panel was on my desk for a couple of weeks as I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with it.  But I had a few die cuts sitting in a dish and for some reason it just hit me with what I was going to do.

So for my card I used the You Matter background stamp and stamped it with Versamark and heat embossed it with pearl embossing power in an orange colour.  I then took some Ripe Persimmon distress ink and inked up the sides and a little towards the middle.

I had some metallic thread that I got from my local dollar store and added it to the back of the leave with a glue dot.  The more I was trying to get it to adhered to the leaf the more I realized that it was not really thread but more like tinsel.  It is very fine and adds just a right amount of interest to the card.  I then added the leaf to the panel.  

I used the Thankful die from SSS and cut it out of ivory card stock and added it to the card with some  liquid glue.  To finish off the card I used some sequins from Lucy's Little Things in Fallen Leaves colour and called it done.

You're the Best!

Hi everyone,

I'm here with a card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.  It's all about stencils!  

I started out with a piece of Canson 140# watercolour paper and with some Mustart Seed distress ink I made a background.  Then about 2 weeks later I was looking at it on my desk and thought it could some some Texture Paste, so I took a stencil and added that to it.  Then another week later I finally figured out what I wanted to do with the panel.

Here it is.  You can barely see the paste but it's there!

I used the Stitched Due 3 dies from Pretty Pink Posh to cut out the vellum.  I added some white thread on top for some interest.

The I took the sunflower from the Lawn Fawn set "Friendship Grows" and coloured those in with my Koi water colour paints.  I added the sentiment from the Avery Elle "Hand written note" set in Memento Onyx black ink and cut out the banner ends.  I thought it needed something else so I wrapped some May Arts twine around the ends and popped it up with foam tape.

I added some Beatle Black sprinkles from Doodlebug along with some clear sequins from Simon Says Stamp.  I added the panel to an A2 sized card base and called it done!

SSS Wednesday Challenge - "Let's be Clear"

Hello everyone!

I am playing along withe the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge "Let's be Clear".  They are featuring Clearly Besotted Stamps and you have to use something clear on your card.

Today I used a few things and the first is clear stamps.  I used the Lawn Fawn Critters in the Sea and I used the whale.  For the background I used stencils that I cut out with my Silhouette and used Peacock Feathers and Black Soot distress inks.  I coloured in the whale with my copics and used my white gel pen to add in the dots.  

 My clear part for this challenge is the liquid glass (CTMH) to cove the water spray on the top of the whale's head and clear Wink of Stella glitter pen on the waves in the background.

I stamped the sentiment in Versa Fine Onyx black ink, which is my favourite for sentiments.

I used Recollections 110# card stock for the whale, waves and the background.

Supplies:

SSS Wednesday Challenge "Anything Goes"

Hi everyone,

Here is the second card I made for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday "Anything Goes" Challenge.

I used the tree die and Thanks die from SSS and I distressed the edges of the white card stock.  This card is out of my comfort zone as I distressed the edges and used bakers twine.  I normally don't use either one on my cards but thought this would work for this one.

Hope you enjoyed my card.

Thanks for stopping by!
