First Challenge of the Month at JUGS

 

 

The first challenge of the month over at JUGS

 

is this fabulous sketch from Sharyn

 

#213 Sketch

 

 

 

I love sketch challenges and as Sharyn said - half the work is done for you.

Now we just need to make a card with our take on it.

 

I must admit the first card I started just wasn't right so

landed in the bin lol

Now this card I was really happy with because I went

to my favourite Stampin' Up set - Vintage Vogue

and what better colours to use but SU Rich Razzleberry for the

flowers and Memento Pistachio.

 

I started with the basic white card stock

and after inking and masking the strips of paper

with another stamp from

Vintage Vogue I adhered to the base.

Added a strip of DP from Creative Memories and punched

the bottom part with a MS Punch.

The Spellbinders Lacy Circle was cut from a scrap piece of

scrapbooking paper then followed by the white from Spellbinders Standard Circles

 inked with the flower. I inked several more flowers and fuzzy cut

curled and popped them  to add to the top and also the side as per sketch.

Finished off with tiny rhinestones in the circle and 2 larger ones on the

edge of the strip. Also pearls from Kaisercraft to 2 flowers

and a mauve Sparklet on the other flower.

 

Hope you liked my interpretation of this great sketch.

I am also entering this card in the Just for Fun Challenge HERE

 We are required to use our favourite colour.
Those that know me are well aware that mine is PURPLE

Maybe it is because my favourite flower is a thistle.
 I know it is a weed but being a Scot you have to love them.

I would also like to be considered for GDT.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Sketch Challenge #03013 at The House

 

In my last post I showed you a card I had made for  Sketch Challenge #03013

over at http://www.thehousethatstampsbuilt.com/

 

and just in case you missed it here it is again.

 

 

 

 

A girlfriend bought me the beautiful card stock I used for the base and is

Metallic Mother of Pearl which I though a perfect match for the

red & gold patterned shimmer paper I used as the backing for my focal image.

I cut out a die from Spellbinders Floral Ovals in gold and topped with

a smaller die from the same set with the metallic paper.

The Poppies are a Memory Box die.

I heated the organza ribbon with my heat gun to get the crinkled effect

 to the right and finished it with 3 red Kaisercraft pearls.

 

Hope you have enjoyed looking at my cards for this challenge.

 

Thanks for popping in.

 

 

 

 

 



Sketch time at The House

One of the current challenges over at http://www.thehousethatstampsbuilt.com/

is the Sketch Challenge and you can find out all the details  HERE

 

and this is the sketch

 

 

I have made 2 card with this sketch and here is the first one.

 

 

 

 

I really love this tree stamp from Repeat Impressions

because it makes a cas card look fabulous.

I have previously made a card with this tree and used the same

embossing enamel and loved the effect so  decided to

make another one and go just a little bit further

 and use it for the strip underneath the tree.

 

My card base is white and topped with gold paper.

I then used the following products on this card -

 

Spellbinders Blossoms 3

JustRite Thank You Labels 20 (Sentiment)

Repeat Impressions Spring Tree - 1610-W

Victorian Velvet Distress Ink

Stampendous Aged Rose Embossing Enamel

Gold Sakura Gel Pen

Plum Pearls by Kaisercraft

 

I will be back soon with the second card I have made for this challenge.
