Make It Monday #226: Creating With Stripes

 I made a simple card for this challenge.  The technique seems to lend itself to the CAS style.  You can see how Laurie did it at PTI

Here is my card

I simply used the die called Leaf Silhouette and cut it from gold paper.  Placed them on a panel of white that was embossed with swiss dots folder.  I stamped the lines from a GKD stamp set using fall colors, of Charcoal Brown, Tomato soup, Faded Brick and Jelly Bean Green. The base is also Jelly Bean Green card stock.  That is all for today.  I am playing with my Cameo and having fun. 
Thanks so much for stopping by.  I really enjoy your comments. 

 

HAPPY WORLD CARD MAKING DAY!

For this challenge you need to use All 3 elements.

#1 This sketch, as inspiration.
#2 Use non traditional colors to make a holiday card,
#3 Add a little sparkle or bling.



Here is my inspiration

 I used two Power Poppy stamp sets on this card. Short Stacks and Daffodils.  I stamped the bouquet on the bottom of the card and colored with copic markers.  Using Purples and blues. a bit of black gingham ribbon from my stash.  The ribbon on the gifts are colored with gold Wink of Stella, but you can't see the shimmer, so i added the gold twine under the sentiment.  That is from a Flourishes stamp set.  It is all on a base of Autumn Rose from PTI.  I did emboss the top of the white panel with a swiss dots folder. 

Thanks for stopping in, you can find the challenge HERE    There is time to enter and it was fun to do something different. 

 

Go for the Gold day 6

Today is WCMD and although I made this card yesterday, I saved it for today.  this is also the last day for the Go for the Gold Class by Sandy Allnock.  Thanks so much for doing this fun and very motivating class.

I have had this snowman stamp for ever and I use him every year.  But I am so sorry that I do not remember where I got him.  He is so cuddly and cute, I could not resist using him again. 
We were challenged to make a round card, and this snowman is perfect for that.  I have him peeking out of a wreath that  is sprinkled with gold as will as his hat.  And, of course, he is a shaker card.  Fun!

A better view of the gold sparkle in the wreath.

Go for the Gold day 4

I have had this stamp set since last winter and could not wait to pull it out and use it.  Since I am making Christmas Cards, why not.  These little guys as so cute, and done in gold, how could anyone resist.
As long as I was making cards, I did two.  Just different backgrounds.

I liked this one the best.

.

 But I will show you this one too

Both cards have a base of Stampin Up paper in a dark teal.  Then a layer of GKD paper from the Cold Snap pack.

I used a spellbinder die, Label 6 and cut two of them. On the larger one, I covered it with the Gold paste, and layered the smaller one on top.  I did stamp it with PTI stamp, Brushed Off.
I used my new ink from Mama Elephant called Winter. Sandy used it on one of her videos and I had to get it.  The images are from Penny Black, Joy to the World.  I used my Viva Gold Pearl Pen to color their scarfs.  I squished out a bunch of the gold on a piece of paper, and used a brush to apply.  I really got some texture that makes the scarfs look plush.  Don't they all look so happy?  Who cares if it is snowing!

Thanks again for stopping bye, I hope that you have time to enter this fun challenge.  Sandy is doing seven days and there is still time.  You can find it HERE

Have a great weekend!

Go fhe Gold Day 2

I had this card made for a few days as it is the one that I was inspired to made from Day 2.  But I got lost in the reconstruction of my blog, which I am happy to say is almost back.   So from here on out, it is a new day.  Enough of that and on to the card.

This die cut from Ellentina classic collection, is cut from gold cardstock from PTI.  I placed it on a background of  splatter from Color Shine in Gold and Chartreuse.  The sentiment is embossed with gold too.  The base of the card is Fresh Asparagus from GKD.

You can play with Sandy in, Go for the Gold HERE She has a free class every day for 7 days.  It has been fun and a great way to start your Christmas cards.
Thanks for stopping by and I do enjoy reading your  comments.  They make my day! Enjoy!
