Posted on by

Hey Everyone

It’s Wednesday so that means a new challenge and a new inspiration picture for you at The Card Concept. Take a look:

Ok, so I am not overly loving my card. Don’t know what it was but I really struggled.  Maybe it was the combination of so many bright colours – but I really couldn’t get my shabby on with them.  My background was created by watercolouring a whole heaps of colours to some watercolour paper and sponging in spots that needed a little more colour.  Here’s what I came up with:

The team has provided wonderful inspiration for you – head over to The Card Concept and check them out.

The Card Concept #36

Hey Everyone

I really love challenges as they make me try different colour combos that I would never usually try.  Take a look at the fab inspiration pic we have for you at The Card Concept.

I tried a new-to-me technique – the emboss resist technique.  I heat embossed Stampin’ Up!s En Francais with Clear Embossing Powder.  I then sponged Slate Gray and Morning Meadow ink in patches and then wiped away the excess with a paper towel.  I then set about fussy cutting (gee did they take time!) the fern fronds and flower from Butterfly Basics.  Here’s my card:

We’d love for you to join us with our challenge. Head over to The Card Concept and link up a card. While you’re there, take a look at the wonderful inspiration from the design team.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey Everyone

I know I’ve been quiet on here lately, but I’m still catching up with home and work life stuff after getting back from convention. I’ll get back to regular blogging soon!

We have a new challenge for you at Freshly Made Sketches.  This week our sketch hostess is the fabulously talented and creator of lovely clean cards – Jen Brum. Take a look at her great sketch:

I threw this card together in no time – I love it when that happens (wish it would happen like this more often!). I am simply loving Stampin’ Up!s Butterfly Basics so you will be seeing a bit of it over the next few weeks.

The design team have created cards that are going to wow you – so head over to Freshly Made Sketches and take a look! Thanks for stopping by.
