Freshly made sketches #604

This week at Freshly Made Sketches FMS604, the sketch is a clean and simple one.

I chose to layer two leaves and add a die-cut leaf in the centre and three glass-like dew drops.

Colour INKspiration #151

This week at the Facebook group Colour INKspiration the colours are Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Petal Pink, and Pecan Pie (Yum!!!).

The card I entered into this challenge is sponged using those four colours and an abstract stencil. I was surprised at how well the colours go together and made several other cards using this colour combination. I muted the colours in this card as I wanted the tree to stand out.

Global design project #412 #GDPwinner!

This week at Global Design Project the challenge is CASE the designer, #GDP412.

My card features a wood grain mat with a second mat of a floral arrangement, a Happy Birthday greeting, and 3 glass-like beads. It is a very simple card to make and has a classic feel I think.

Hey, check this out! I am so stoked!!! Thank you RetroRubber for this honour 💜

“We are excited to welcome Janette Goodall as our Guest Designer. Janette blogs at Funfull Creating. And talk about creating! Beautiful stunners like this one that Janette made for us! I am in love with how the leaves pop with the papers and splatter in the background. My favorite is the chair – it really ties this whole card together! A masterpiece!”

A christmas caravan

I am holding a Christmas Cardmaking Workshop this week and have been busy working on the cards for it. In the process I found this die set that I love, and created this card with a new die from the Aspen Trees set by Stampin’ Up!

I’m not using it in my workshop, but I think it’s a cute card for someone who loves caravanning, so I’m adding it to my shop.

One card two ways

This challenge is one I haven’t tried before, the challenge is with TGIF Challenges ‘1 Card 2 Ways’ #tgifc438.

The card I chose to make is from the new stamp & die set from Stampin’ Up! Night Divine, and I made a daytime scene in the desert with the matching patterned paper, and a nighttime scene in the evening, just changing some of the elements of the story from the journey to the birth of Jesus.

Wildlife & circles

I had a lot of fun with this one, and used a stamp I had not used before. I combined two challenges to create my card, Just Add Ink Challenge 670 Just Add Wildlife, and Freshly Made Sketches #603.

I am not a fan of colouring in, so left the image in black an white, the added vellum also with black printing ties it all together.

A day of challenges

Not literally, cardmaking challenges! This one is for Global Design Project #GDP411 and Sketch Saturday #734. The theme for Global Design Project is ‘Outdoors’, and I have created a peaceful scene at the beach, and I used Sketch Saturday’s sketch to design my card for these two challenges.

Global design project #410*

This week at Global Design Project it is a sketch challenge #GDP410, and I made three different cards for this challenge, and I had to choose which one to enter into the challenge.
