Crafty Cardmakers Clean and Simple Challenge

Crafty Cardmakers

Challenge for these next two weeks Clean and Simple

I always think of pastels colours relating to clean and simple, I suppose everybody will have their own interpretations it will be nice to see the entries.

I started with a square off white card, I used dotty paper from a new DM paperstack and layered them with white card inbetween.

I printed the image and coloured it with my favourite promarkers, added a little ribbon, couple of pale pink sparkly flowers which actually look yellow/orange in the picture and some gems to finish off the card.

I would also like to enter this into the following challenges:

Secret Crafter - Clean and Simple

Paper Players - Clean and Simple

Cowgirls Sunday - Anything goes

The little paper shop - Clean and simple

Just Inspirational - Digi Challenge

 

Lady Ga Ga Video Inspiration Latest Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers

We so much inspiration in the video but I was still stuck with making up the card, I decided to stick with the basics, matting and layering, stamping the wording, and a few gems and peel off corders to add a bit of silver.  The image I used from a digi image from Kenny K, it was hard to choose the image from his site as there were so many which fit the challenge.  I coloured the image with promarkers.  I coloured the first image I had stamped and realised that I was being like a little old lady and covering the poor girl up, stamped her again and let her show a little more flesh lol, my first image she had a full bodice and cycling shorts (so to speak) LOL.  Hope you join in the challenge at Crafty Cardmakers too, enjoy.

Crafty Cardmakers New Challenge

This week at crafty cardmakers the challenge is a recipe one by Joy.

Here is my creation

I stamped my image onto card and coloured with promarkers adding touches of glitter onto the flowers. I cut the corners of the card with a fiskars punch then mounted the image onto yellow card, then again onto patterned orange paper. I covered the front of a square card with a leaf patterned paper and mounted the layered image onto the card. I coloured some flowers with promarkers and added layered them keeping them together with a brad and cup which was then mounted onto the corner of the card and the jems were added.

Here we go again let's have another go !!!

Sophie joined in crafting tonight

Sophie, my daughter, joined me crafting tonight (I cringe everytime I hear can I use that, can I have a but of this !).  Have a look at the card she made on her blog http://www.sophiescraftyblog.blogspot.com/.  She took a picture on her new camera because she said she hasn't had time to update her blog for a while !!  If only she knew what it was like not to have time lol.

Challenge card for friend at work

A friend at work seen me posting out the easel card to Andrew's uncle and admired it, she asked the next day if I could make one for her with either an aeroplane or boat with Happy Birthday and Welcome Home on it for her nephew who, after travelling the world for some time, was coming back home on his birthday.  She liked the easel style so that was my challenge for tonight, I put it off last night thinking what picture I could use.  Anyway I have made one for her tonight hope she likes it ................

Last minute card for Uncle

I just remembered today I needed two cards, one for Tuesday and one for Wednesday, luckily I had one made for the anniversary on Tuesday but needed a mans card for my OH's uncle who's wife and daughter are both card makers.  Was talking to his wife today about easel cards and she had not heard of them so decided to make one for Malcolm for his birthday so she could have a look, hope you like too.  The pyramage does look a little off line on this photo but it is because I have taken the picture stood up above the card HONEST !!

New challenge - Inky

Well was not impressed with this card and had I not left it till the last minute I would have started again, anyway I am not a messy inky person, can't stand inky fingers but thought I would have a go, the first stamp pad I tried fell to pieces lol, I them used a momento pad in silver over textured black paper and dabbed round the edge in lilac, the next layer on top of the mirror card was again white textured paper which I went over with the lilac ink pad.  The colours are much darker on the photo than in true life, Anita's stamp stamped with the same lilac ink pad.  Flowers were mounted on the corner to take away the bareness.

This weeks challenge Mens Cards

As everybody probably does I always struggle with mens cards unless the man I am making it for has a particular hobby then I can usualy find something to suit.  Anyway had a go at another easel card, think they are so easy now I know how !!

A change from the pens!!

Had to make two cards for my friends at work, who's birthdays are tomorrow and Saturday. Thought I would have a change from the promarker pens and made a couple of pyramage from the Popcorn Bear disc. However my promarkers did not have a rest tonight when I can into the room to find my daughter colouring pictures with them, they were for her to make cards and I did not have the heart to tell her to stop playing with my new toys. You will be able to see her card tomorrow over on her blog http://www.sophiescraftyblog.blogspot.com/.

Had a little me time today crafting

Finished the dinner, cleaning, washing so thought I would sit and make a few cards, I actually sat late last night watching tv and colouring some images, practising with the promarkers and adding a touch of glossy accents, so today they were ready for card making !! Hope you like.....
