CAGI Recipe

Hello everyone!

 

Hope your day is wonderful, we have a very warm 31 degrees here today and with no breeze it is rather warm but we are nearly in Summer.

 

Besides the weather I wanted to share with you my card for the new challenge at Come and Get It this week.  The theme is:

 

Recipe – Diecut, Ribbon, Bling and DSP

 

Plus our Sponsors for this challenge are

 

 

and

 

 

I have used a Lacy Sunshine Image called Alexis Cherished Wings and coloured it in using Copic Markers.

 

The colours for my image were inspired by the beautiful butterfly paper and I just love this Martha Stewart board punch which was perfect to frame the image and background. I have used some Whisper White Organza Ribbon over the seam of where the two papers meet to cover the seam but also add a break in the colours of the paper.

 

I wanted to keep the butterflies going off the page so I have used the  SU Beautiful Wings Embosslits die and the sentiment is from the Perfect Pennants stamp set.

 

I have added some Dazzling Diamonds to the wings for a sparkle effect and some rhinestones to the Butterflies plus the Butterfly Paper has a glitter on it which unfortunately you cannot see from the pictures.

 

Here is my card:

CAGI Things with Wings

 

Hi everyone, apologies for this very late post for my card for new challenge at Come and Get It.

 

This week our challenge is “Things with Wings” and we have two fabulous sponsors – A Day for Daisies and Lacy Sunshine.

 

I have used a Lacy Sunshine image called Lil Bug – Precious Wings.  This is such a precious image and I have coloured it with soft colours that work well with the paper.

 

Of course I added a butterfly with some lace and pearls. The sentiment is “Thinking of You” from the Teeny Tiny Sentiments stamp set.

 

The cardstock is Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake and Confetti White.  The die cut used is the Deco Labels Diecuts plus the Beautiful Wings Embosslit die and I have embossed one of the layers using a retired bossing folder called Lacey Brocade.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

Here is a close up of the image:

 

 

The copic used to colour the image are Y0000, Y000, Y21, Y23, R0000, R81, R83, R21, G000, G21, G28, E0000, E000, E02, E21

 

The paper is from my stash and so are the ribbon flowers.  The punches used are Eyelet Border punch and Modern Label punch.  I have also added some sparkle to the wings and hat, but unfortunately it has not come out very well on the photos.

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Cool Things for Summer

Hi and thanks for visiting!

 

Just a quick post to share with you my card for our new challenge at Come and Get It for this week.

 

Our theme: Cool Things for Summer

 

Earlier on in the year I purchased some Sarah Kay Die Cut Sheets and one of them has this wonderful image of a little girl sitting under the tree reading and as I love to read especially in the Summer Break here which is over Christmas!  This is the image I have used.

 

This is my first go at Decoupage and I just had to find the right layout and colours but I like the soft end result.  I have added a few butterflies, paper from my stash, ribbon and bling.

 

The die that has been used is the Nestabilities Captivating Squares die. The butterflies were created with the Elegant Butterfly punch and the Beautiful Wings Embosslit Die.

 

Here is my card:

CCC – Things With Wings

Hello and thanks for visiting.

 

I am sharing with you my card I have created for our new challenge over at Crafty Creations. 

 

Our theme for the next two week is “Things with Wings”.

 

The image is a new stamp I recently purchased it is from Stampavie Tina Wenke Collection and is called A Fairy Resting on a Mushroom.

 

I have coloured it with my copic markers and added some Silver Sparkle Dazzling Details to the wings of the fairy.  Of course I have added some extra butterflies which have been die cut and embossed with the Beautiful Wings Embosslit.

 

The paper is a paper stack by DCWU called “Once Upon a Time” – love the name and it has lovely papers in it.

 

I have die cut the image using the Ovals Collection Die and layered it on a Nestabilities Opulent Ovals die, this layer I sponged the edge of the die with Wild Wasabi. 

 

The punch used is the Scallop Trim Border punch and the ribbon is Whisper White Organza Ribbon.

 

The cardstock used is Wild Wasabi, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.  The image was stamped on Xpress It Blending cardstock using Memento Black ink.

 

Here is my card:

More than 2 Folds

Hello and thanks for visiting.

 

A quick post about our new challenge at Come and Get It and this week Judy has chosen:

 

Cards with 2 or more Folds

 

So I finally decided to have a go at a Side Stepped card.

 

I have used some lovely paper I recently purchased at a local craft shop and layered some butterflies from my favourite die/embossing folder – Beautiful Wings.

 

The card stock used is Real Red, Chocolate Chip and Naturals Ivory.  I have sponged around the edges of all the natural ivory cardstock with Crumb Cake ink.

 

I have used some new dies too – one is a Wild Rose Studio Die called Wild Rose and the other is a Nestabilities die called Decorative Labels Eight.  I decided the paper was so lovely that all I wanted to add was a sentiment. 

 

The Sentiment is from the Perfect Pennants stamp set.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a close up of the sentiment, which reads
“Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be Wonderful”.

It all starts with “S”

Our challenge over at Crafty Creations for the next two weeks is an “S” challenge and we would love you join us.

 

I have tried to use a few different “S” on my card and have included Stripes, Swirls, Stitched Ribbon, Script text, Spring theme and I think “Sweet”.  Because this image from Wild Rose Studio’s called Bella with Daisy is so sweet and cute.

 

The image is a new purchase and I wanted to use it straight away, so I have stamped it and then coloured it with Copic.  The image was die cut using a die from the Ovals Collection and then layered on to Basic Grey cardstock that has been die cut using the Nestabilities Opulent Oval die – new too and love it!

 

The script text is the En Francais background stamp and the butterflies have been die cut/embossed using the Beautiful Wings Embosslit die. I have also raided my stash and found flowers, retired DSP and textured card stock. Plus I have used the Scallop Edge Punch.

 

The layout of my card has been inspired by the current sketch at Sketchy Colours Challenge.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

Here is a copy of the sketch:

The die cut used is the Windows Framelit Die and the butterflies are from my favourite Embossing Die Beautiful Wings.

Mother’s Day

We have a quiet and relaxed Mother’s Day this year. 

 

As  Mum is on crutches still after breaking her ankle and my Daughter had a soccer game at midday the morning was very quiet.  The Autumn weather was warm in the sun so it was lovely to sit and watch Charlize’s game.

 

We then went and had coffee and later a lovely dinner together.

 

I hope that all the Mother’s everywhere have also had a lovely day!!

 

I just wanted to share with you my card I made for Mum, quite simple and I just adore the sentiment.  The stamp set is a retired stamp set called Blessed Mother and the sentiment was punched out using the Decorative Label punch.

 

The larger butterflies were punched out using the Elegant Butterfly punch and then I layered some smaller butterflies which had been die cut and embossed using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

 

The splatter is from the one of the stamps from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and has been stamped in Chocolate Chip and retired Regal Rose ink.  This set is great for creating male cards too.

 

The last touch a little bling on the butterflies!.

Inkspirational Colour Challenge

Hi everyone,

 

We have a great new fortnightly Colour challenge at Inkspirational.  So what are the colours:

 

Purple, Green and White

 

You can pick two or three of the colours to use but your project should be limited to these colours only.

 

At first I just couldn’t decide what to do with these colours but I believe with every colour challenge it is about the balance of the colours.

 

I knew I wanted a simple layout so I went searching for current sketch and found the sketch challenge at Pals Paper Arts and I have used this sketch for the inspiration of the layout.

 

I love my butterflies so they have featured too and I wanted to send the card to my sister, so the sentiment of “thinking of you” was a perfect fit.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

 

The colours that I have used are Wild Wasabi, Concord Crush and Whisper White. 

 

The DSP is from my stash and the punches used are the Scallop Trim Border and Modern Label punches. Oh and don’t forget the bling!

 

Here is the sketch from Pals Paper Arts

 

 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Inkspirational Photo Inspiration

Hello from a very hot 40 degree Summer’s day here in Sydney – I hope that you are having a wonderful weekend.

 

We have a new challenge over at Inkspirational for the next two weeks which is an Inspirational Photo.

 

The CAS design and layout of my card was inspired by the current MUSE Card at CASE Study Challenges.

 

And the other elements I took from the photo:

• The main colour is blue so the base of my card is Midnight Muse. 
• The butterflies represent some of the other colours in the picture and
• The words of the sentiment represents to me the maiden in the eye of the man looking down.

 

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

 

That is just my take – what will yours be?

 

 

Here is the photo:
