WLCB, March - "I Love..."

Hello. I have already shared in this challenge two cards revealing two of my crafting loves, Purple and Gnomes, so here comes my third one: cards which are somehow related to MUSIC (instruments, notes, dancing etc.). In my real life Music plays a huge role. I was born to rock over 60 yrs ago and I'm still rocking. 

After stamping the dancing girl on a tag and the sentiment words on an other, I coloured the tags with several inks. The vinyl looking cd is defective so I "recycled" it on the card.

Stamping Sensations, March - Monochromatic

Hello. This is my second entry in your challenge. Purple in most of its shades is my absolute fav colour when it comes to crafting.  I hardly ever make a card without at least a hint of purple (unless there is a certain colour theme other than purple).   The flower is a Ranger/Wendy Vecchi stamp. The vase is a die-cut of which I have cut the lower part away because the whole vase would have been too long. There's three layers of it and to decorate the top one I used a flower stencil.  The Challenge link and Badge are in the end of this post.

We Love Chocolate Baroque Challenge, March - "I love..."

Hello and thank you for a fab challenge. It was only yesterday after I had entered this card in another challenge that I realized I had misinterpreted the theme of your challenge. I had just read "I love" and thought of hobbies/things that I love, but yesterday I noticed the word "crafting". So I post this card again, this time in your challenge, as purple in most of its shades is my absolute fav colour when it comes to crafting.  I hardly ever make a card without at least a hint of purple (unless there is a certain colour theme other than purple).   The flower is a Ranger/Wendy Vecchi stamp. The vase is a die-cut of which I have cut the lower part away because the whole vase would have been too long. There's three layers of it and to decorate the top one I used a flower stencil.  The Challenge link and Badge are in the end of this post.

The Flower Challenge #54 "Shades of Purple"

Hello and thank you for a fab challenge. I was so happy seeing the theme as purple is my absolute fav colour.  I hardly ever make a card without atleast a hint of purple (unless there is a certain colour theme other than purple). Yet, I had a real challenge of making a card for this challenge. I could not decide which flower stamp and what kind of design to use. Finally I came up with this tent-fold card. The flower is a Ranger/Wendy Vecchi stamp. The vase is a die-cut of which I have cut the lower part away because the whole vase would have been too long. There's three layers of it and to decorate the top one I used a flower stencil. The Challenge link and Badges are in the end of this post.

AAA Cards CAS Challenges, Game #185

Hello and thanks for giving us a fab challenge. This is a one layer CAS card following the one inch theme without the optional twist. I chose the option to make the one inch hole on the front of the card as a window which opens a larger image inside. The round window symbolizes a telescope through which one can look at the space.

Stamping Sensations , March - Monochromatic

Hello and thanks for a challenging theme. I needed a card for a young boys birthday. He likes green and dragons so I combined your theme and his favorites and came up with this card. I stamped the dragon image with green VersaColor and again with VersaMark and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I coloured the image with green inks. Once I had fussy-cut the image I glued it on a tent fold card base on which I had stamped randomly trinity images. The first pic is of the whole card, the two following pics are of the image with and without extra light.

"Less is More" A CAS Challenge # 438

 

Hello and thank you for a fun challenge. My entry is a CAS & OLC card with a baby chick hatching. I took a piece of scrap card stock and die-cut a couple eggs on it to make an egg stencil and decorated the other half of the cover with it. By choosing a specified sentiment the card can be for congratulating a baby's birthday or birth at springtime,  Happy Easter card or just a Happy Mail card at springtime.

"Less is More" Challenge # 438

AAABirthday Card Challenges Game #23

Thanks for putting up this Game. I just realized I have not used patterned papers for a long time. I've been stamping images and making inky backgrounds. Here is my (first) entry in this Game. The sentiment is in Finnish and it means "Many Congrats". For the specified birthday greeting there's plenty of space inside the card.
