Several challenges 2022-06-17

Hello. With the card below I'll enter in the following challenges:

AAA Birthday; Game # 38 - Flowers







🎂🎂🎂HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY TO THE WHOLE TEAM!!💐💐💐💐




 



This is a BD card for a young woman. The sentiment is in Finnish and it means roughly: "To the birthday girl". The rose stamp I used is printing also a shadow of the rose so in order to avoid the image getting all messed up when inking with several colours I first stamped the rose with gray, then masked the shadow part as much as I could and stamped the leaves with green and the flower part with red. The first three pics of the card are taken using the flash as the sun was hiding today. The last pic of the rose is taken without the flash.





The rosestamp and the inks I used:

+a sentiment stamp, a frame die and some sequins

"Less is More" Challenge # 466 and Stamping Sensations June Challenge

Hello. With the card below I'll enter in the following challenges:

"Less is More" Challenge #466



Stamping Sensations June Challenge





A masculine BD card for the star of the day. 
At first I scored two lines on the card base. Then I stamped the sentiments and the drum set between the score lines and the dancing people along the bottom score line, both with black VersaFine ink. Finally I drew yellow and red Distress Ink lines from the upper score line downwards diagonally to represent spotlights. No layers, die-cuts or embellishments on this card.

AAA Cards, Game # 217

 Hello. With the card below I'll enter in the following challenge:

AAA Cards, Game #217: 1/9th + Butterflies




This is a BD card for a young woman who is bursting with energy and she loves to have fun.  At first I divided a spare cardstock in 9 (approx) equal rectangles, cut the middle rectangle off and used that aperture as a stencil to ink the background straight on the cardbase, both on the cover and on the inside. Then I stamped the image with the sentiment on the cover of the card and the sentiment on the inside of the card. There are no layers, die-cuts or embellishments on this card.



-------------------


Stamps and inks I used:
+ sentiments "Go Wild!" and "On Your Birthday" 
from an other stamp set

"Less is More" Challenge # 465

 Hello! With the card below I'll enter the following challenge:

"Less is More" Challenge #465 - Rainbow



This is a card for two young women I know. They have just come out and moved together. I know I can't shelter them from all the dirt they'll get from narrow minded people but I can be there for them when/if they need an understanding senior.

There is only one layer on the card base. To keep it CAS there is no embellishments or die-cuts. The umbrella is first stamped and then coloured with colouring pencils in rainbow colours. The sentiment is handwritten to emphasize the personality of the message.
