Friday MashUp - 87



Today's card was inspired by the beautiful inspiration photo over at The Friday MashUp.

I began on a Bashful Blue cardstock base and inked the edges with Marina Mist.  With another piece of Bashful paper, I ran a snowflake embossing folder through my Big Shot and mounted it at an angle on the card face, then added a paper doily to the center of the card.  I die cut a triangle using Blue patterned paper for my tree, and affixed the tree at an angle on the right side of the card.  The star was punched out using Silver glitter paper and placed on top of the tree.  A short strip of textured Brown cardstock was added below the tree and a Silver brad was anchored through the center of the tree.  'Joy' was stamped using Blue ink onto a White tag and added across the bottom half of the card.  A Blue button was added on the bottom right corner of the tag.  A cut textured Blue banner   was stamped 'Christmas' using Blue ink, and attached across the upper edge of the sentiment tag.

Thank you for stopping by!

Today's card is inspired by two challenges, Create with Connie & Mary & Hand Stamped Sentiments .  I began on a piece of 3 x 6 Pool Party cardstock.  I really love this tone of blue.  The first layer is Pink Pirouette that has been run through my big shot, using the polka dot embossing folder.  I cut a banner using a piece of Regal Rose patterned paper then stamped it.  I also used some pretty designer paper, cut it into a banner, then added two clear rhinestones.  The center banner was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Grey ink.  I finished this card off with some gorgeous ruffled Pool Party ribbon (gotta get more of this, its amazing), a punched flower with a Rose colored button. Thank you for stopping by!  Alyson

This is a set that we will be making at my 'It's Time for Spring' card class.  I chose two challenges for my creation.  The color combo from CR84FN Color Challenge and the sketch from Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge . I began my creation on some Whisper White cardstock, then stamped these butterflies using my markers in Only Orange, Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue.  You can hardly see in the photo, but I scorded 10 lines at the bottom and added some glitter. Here are the challenges: Please stop by again soon. Alyson

Colour Q Challenge ~150~

This next one was made by my crafter in training: way to go Mads!! Begin on some White cardstock.  Adhere a textured White mat onto the base.  To this I added textured Lucky Limeade and Poppy Parade.  Die cut flowers of your choice in Poppy Parade, followed by some punched out Daffodil Delight butterflies.  For the finishing touches add a coordinating button and sentiment.   Thank you for stopping by!   Alyson
