Surf Birthday

What fun I had creating this card :-) I found a new to me challenge blog- The Paper Players and I had fun with their sketch this week.



I created the surf background using Alcohol and a re-inker on glossy card- just like another of my cards last week. I love getting a bit inky. There's also a lot of wet embossing on the card to stand up to the intense colour of the Taken With Teal.

Details:
Colour Combo: Pacific Point, Basic Black, Taken With Teal (Retired).
Stamp Sets: Seaworthy, Extreme Elements, Grunge Rock, French Foliage, Afterthoughts. (all SU)

Cool Goth Girl

I haven't had chance to play for a while with the JAI team, but I got chance today. So I wanted to create something fun for this weeks Just Add Ink Black and White Challenge. Many a year ago(shhhh not saying how many LOL) I was a Goth,
so this card has been coloured with fond memories :-)

Details
Stamps: SU: Grunge Rock, Goth Girl: Sugar Nellie stamp
Colour Combo: Black and White.
Other: Wide Striped Grosgrain, Vintage Trinkets, silver brads.


I'm also entering this into the Anything Goes challenge over at a new Challenge blog called Deep Ocean Challenge there's some pretty cards from the DT to check out.

Monster Fun

Here's the Sketch this week at Just Add Ink I have flipped it onto it's side.



I wanted to use Make a Monster stamps set, as this cards for my youngest who turns 8 on wednesday- this is the set he always wants to play with :) I've watercoloured them- and added Linen thread and Hemp twine with a charm monster and mini tag.

Colour Combo: Not Quite Navy, Old Olive Crumb Cake.

BOO!

I feel like I might have some serious competition on my hands LOL. As jasper is on a card making mission. This is todays card he's made, I have given him No help, he's chosen the colours, the stamps the design- he's even taken the photo. I love how he's got the monster coming out of the undergrowth- and what a Colour Combo! Feeling like a proud mom, I'm entering his card into his first challenge! Check out the other kids entries at Kona Kid Krafters.

Stamps;make a Monster, Grunge Rock, Organic Grace (retired)

Breezy Summer

This weeks challenge over at Just Add Ink is to Just Add Summer. Now for me it is a real challenge to do a simple card- I love adding heaps of bits and bobs. So I set myself the challenge of doing a real simple card. I've embossed with black a shell from Seaside (retired) on a scrap piece of Whisper White. Embossed again with black the sentiment from Grunge Rock from the current mini. I've then brayered on both pieces, using inks: So Saffron, Peach Parfait, Melon Mambo, Tempting Turquoise. Add a little bit of distressing and Linen Thread and it's done. I think it has a real sea worn effect- I love it!
