Finally another post & challenge

Hi everyone,

 

I haven’t had a chance to send a post for a while as I have been to the Stampin’ Up! Convention in Melbourne and it was GREAT!

 

Had a wonderful time, met so many crafty people, exchanged ideas and it was so worth travelling to Melbourne and experiencing the cold and wet but I must say I also got to see my Sister and her family which was an added bonus :)

 

As you know, you then come back home you get back into routines work, school, life in general but along the way unfortunately pick up a cold.

 

So I was not feeling the best over the weekend but I am much better now and back on board.

 

Now on to my card creation…..

 

I have used the colour challenge from Just Add Ink and the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary:

 

 

 

I have used Baja Breeze for the base of my card and I have created a card for Child’s Birthday.  It is my youngest niece’s birthday next month so I think I will give this card to her.

 

I have used the Fox & Friends, Party This Way & On Your Birthday stamp sets as well as some of the texture embossing folders in the Big Shot.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Fox & Friends, Party This Way, On Your Birthday

Card: Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum, Whisper White
Ink: Certainly Pear Pizzazz, Perfect Plum

Accessories:  Textured Square Lattice & Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folders, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Word Window Punch, 1” (2.5 cm) Circle Medium Punch, 1-3/8” (3.5 cm) Circle Large Punch, 3/8” (1 cm) Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, 1/2” (1.3 cm) Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly Ribbon, Mat Pack for Paper Piercing, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

This was an unusual sketch but this is why you call them challenges!

 

In the end I think both the sketch and the colours have worked well together and I am sure my niece will enjoy this card for her 4th Birthday.

 

Until next time…. Meg x

Monkey Business

Hi everyone back again….

 

I found a new challenge at Mashup! Challenges – click here to visit Mashup! and the most recent challenge is # 37 with a theme of Zoo Animals.

 

So I have combined the Mashup! Challenge with the new ColorLab Color Challenge # 34.  To visit ColorLab click here.

 

Both challenge images are posted below:

 

 

 

I decided to you use the Fox & Friends stamp set as I do not use this set very much and I thought it would suite both challenges.

 

I used Chocolate Chip for the base of my card and this cheeky monkey could not keep still - bouncing all over the place…

 

 

 

 Supplies:

Stamp set: Fox & Friends, Picture This

Card: Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz,Whisper White
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories:  1-3/8” (3.5 cm) Circle Large Punch, Sunny Garden DSP, 1/2” (1.3cm) Pear Pizzazz Stitched-Poly Ribbon, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

 

 

Well I have used this set once more and I have completed the challenge, so I am happy.
