Bling Christmas

It's another wet and windy day here in Malvern, so this afternoon, I've stayed in and made a card for three challenges.

The sketch is from Try Stampin' on Tuesday,

the colours are from Color Throwdown,

and the theme of Christmas comes from

 52 Christmas Card Throwdown 

with added   BLING IT UP

This is my card. I'm sorry for the photo quality, but it's gone so dark that the light and camera flash are shining off the silver embossing

The script is a from a roller, where I have removed the rubber so I can stamp it flat. It's much easier with my Arthritis to do it this way than to try doing it on the roller. It was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with silver EP. The three baubles were made with Mosaic Madness stamps and punch, with the silver caps cut from embossed mosaics.The threads were hand drawn with Versamark and embossed in silver. The stamped sentiment and baubles were placed on 3D pads, and finished off with gems.

Supplies :

All are from Stampin' Up unless stated otherwise

Card = Whisper White, Calypso Coral, and white base FMS

Stamps = Jolly Jingles, Mosaic Madness, and Sassy Salutations

Inks = Versamark, Calypso Coral, Midnight Muse, and Pool Party

Tools = Fiskars Scissors, Mosaic Madness Punch, and Heat Gun

Extras = Silver EP, 3D Pads, and Gems

Thanks for dropping by, and I hope you have a great week whatever you are doing.

                                                       

He is the Music Man!

My card today is for three challenges

First is Mojo Monday with this sketch,

second is Fab Friday with these colours,



and third is Addicted to CAS with a theme of        MUSIC

                                                            

                                                                    

     

                              Here it is

The image was stamped in black Archival and coloured with markers and my Aqua Painter. I randomly stamped some music on a white base and sponged over it with blue, adding the image ( matted in some brown) on 3D pads. The sentiment banner was also added on 3D pads across the top.

This card is for my friend, Chris's Grandson, Danny, who has just started a music degree at London Uni, and has been signed up by an agent who has got him some gigs in popular venues. He writes all his own music and lyrics, and plays the guitar. I've seen him perform in the school band he was the lead singer for, and it's amazing to see him come alive in front of crowds of people, as he is so shy when not behind his guitar. I hope he likes it

Supplies :

All Stampin' Up unless stated otherwise

Card = Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, and white base FMS

Stamps = Papermania Musician, Kaisercraft Music, and Express Yourself

Inks = Black Archival, Chocolate Chip, Crushed Curry, Sahara Sand, Bashful Blue, and Dusty Durango

Tools = Aqua Painter and Mosaic Madness Punch

I'm off to my Sisters again tomorrow, and may get some craaaaftin' done with Nathan, unless he wants to go scrumping and foraging for black berries like last week. 

Back soon

Here is my card

I embossed some white card and in the holes I stamped the shapes in pink and orange. I then made the central panel with a Nestie and added some Mosaic punches that had been stuck together to give some dimension, and added a small flower to the centre on 3D pads. I made a sentiment with the ends of the banner cut with the MM Punch, and the finishing touch of gems to this and the punched flower.

 First, is this sketch from 

 CAS Colours and Sketches,

and second is Pals Paper Arts

This is what I came up with

                              

I punched out the mosaic shapes from the cherry card and stamped through the holes with the blue design. Two of the card pieces that were punched out were then mounted on to blue card, and topped with vanilla card that had been stamped with a different design. All the shapes were finished off with pearls in the centres, and the sentiment at the bottom.

I hope you're all enjoying the hot weather, as Nathan would say "it's SCORCHIO Aunt Bev!". Now I don't mean to be a killjoy, but I hate the heat as the air pressure plays havoc with my Arthritis, and I cant sleep at night, so I'm longing for some rain.....sorry! Until then I'll be in the shade under the fan, crafting when I can.

Thanks for dropping by, and I'll see you soon
