Fab Friday 201 #FABFRI201

I haven't done a  Fab Friday Challenge for a little while so I went and had a look to see what they had up for the week.

This week is a great sketch.

I like the layers in this sketch.

I have had a little box of goodies to play with arrive this week. I haven't really felt like crafting but I couldn't resist this gorgeous set coming in the new mini.

So so pretty and such a great layout to utilize the different elements in this suite.

The small piece of Flirty Flamingo cardstock is embossed with Gold Powder and I have some Gold Leaf Foil in my stash so I used this on the petals of the flowers. The smallest flower in the stampset was repeatedly stamped over the background of the card in tone on tone with the Night of Navy for a bit more depth.

The texture of the embossing folder is on the Pool Party piece of cardstock and the background DSP looks like it has it's own texture but it is just the cardstock.

 

• Stampset: Art Gallery (coming soon)
• Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Night of Navy and Versamark
• Card: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party and Fine Art Floral DSP (coming soon)

Global Design Project 266 #GDP266 & As You See It 238

 

What a great sketch and combined with the colour combo below, I came up with a pretty card.

Here is what I came up with.

It is a bit hard to tell in the picture but the black layer on this card is actually black in the top left hand corner and it fades down to Basic Grey. The top has been sprayed with some of the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint and run through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine with the Subtle folder.

The very back has been stamped with the flower stamp to give it a bit more depth. This is actually the first time I have inked up the flower from the Forever Blossoms stamps.

• Stamps: Forever Blossoms and a sneak peek of a new set called Enjoy the Moment (coming soon)
• Ink: Petal Pink, Basic Grey, Memento and Versamark
• Card: Whisper White, Petal Pink, Basic Black and Peony Garden DSP
• Tools: Cherry Blossom Dies & Subtle Embossing Folder with a Cut Stampin' Emboss Machine, Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint in a spritzer bottle, Petal Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Smokey Slate Stampin' Blends, Foam Rollers, White Embossing Powder with a heat tool

Just Add Ink Challenge #529

This weeks challenge is a colour challenge

I took these colours along to a crafting retreat weekend to come up with something. I didn't even look at what the design team had made and I came up with this card.

Sadly I lost my mum to terminal lung cancer two weeks ago and I have struggled as we talked on the phone or text every day. I am going to miss her so badly and my heart is broken into a million pieces.

While she was in hospice there was a lovely volunteer lady named Jan who I sobbed to, the day mum was to pass away. I have made her this card to say thankyou for being so kind and compassionate to me. 

I used the silver foil and run the lace die through the Stampin' Emboss machine without the second plate and I placed a rubber mat under the die so it would only leave the impression rather than cut through.

The Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight I have stamped off to get the depth of the colours in the flowers and leaves.

• Stamps: All Things Fabulous and Dragonfly Garden (coming soon)
  
• Ink: - Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight
• Card: Whisper White, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight and Silver Foil
• Tools: Fabulous Florals and Stitched So Sweetly Dies as well as Subtle Embossing Folder with a Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals

Paper Craft Crew 399 #PCC399

I saw this sketch this week and I was already playing with my Whale Suite so I thought I could use it here as well.

It came up really cute.

A little bit of fussy cutting for the turtle from the DSP and a mask made with the reed die from Smooth Sailing along with a little shimmery embossing paste has really set this card off.

• Stamps: Zany Zebras
• Ink: Versamark
• Card: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pretty Peacock and Whale of a Time DSP
• Tools: Stitched Triangle and Smooth Sailing Dies with a Die Cutting Machine, White embossing powder and a heat tool and Shimmery White Embossing Paste with Pool Party re-inker
• Embellishments: Dimensionals

CAS Colours and Sketches 394

CAS Colours and Sketches this week is a nice simple sketch challenge.

I made a mistake on a card over the weekend and I couldn't bare to waste the cardstock so I turned it into this Christmas Card.

I had made a background with Shimmery Embossing Paste mixed with Pretty Peacock reinker and didn't like it at all so I took the mini Christmas tree from the Home Together Dies and cut out the 9 background trees for this card. 

A nice clean and simple card.

• Stampset: Snowman Season
• Ink: Pretty Peacock
• Card: Whisper White, Pretty Peacock & Vellum
• Tools: Home Together Dies with a Die Cutting Machine and Shimmer Embossing Paste with Pretty Peacock re-inker
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals

Freshly Made Sketches 459 #FMS459

 This week I found a great sketch with Freshly Made Sketches and as I was away on a craft retreat weekend I made the card below with the sketch.

I thought about it quite a bit and thought that the two triangle panels on this sketch could be the opening on the card.

Fully Open with the panel to write on inside.

I came up with this idea quite quickly and laid it all out on top of the card base. It just worked, sometimes things just look good together but it helps when there is gorgeous DSP to work with.

• Stampset: Zany Zebras
• Ink: Versamark
• Card: Whisper White, Pacific Point and Whale of a Time DSP
• Tools: Smooth Sailing Dies with a Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine & White Embossing Powder with a Heat tool
• Embellishments:  Dimensionals
