The Paper Players - Jaydee's Sketch

Jaydee has a sketch challenge this week at The Paper Players challenge. 

I have used a colour scheme of Midnight Muse and Whisper White with Silver Glimmer Paper edging the sides of the Midnight Muse DSP.  I used and bit of artistic licence with the sketch and added Rhinestones to the arch bases on the Silver Glimmer Paper.  The sentiment is from the Christmas Lodge stamp set.

The Need for Speed

I created the background paper for this card by stamping the Distressed Dots stamp set in Basic Black on Crumb Cake cardstock.  I thought that this would be in keeping with the circle theme at Mojo Monday this week based on this sketch.

I really liked the sketch this week with all the circles, and who said you could not put ribbon on masculine cards, not me.  The Basic Black Scalloped Dot ribbon went perfect with the theme as well as it has the dots on it.

The background behind the quad bike is from the Clockworks stamp set and was stamped with Crumb Cake on Whisper White.  The quad bike from the Need for Speed stamp set was then stamped in Basic Black over the top.

Naturally the sentiment had to be a circle as well in keeping with the theme of the card, and this is from the Petite Pairs stamp set.

It's Christmas in the Heart

It is Flag It time at the  Merry Monday Challenge this week based on this sketch.

Using the Heart of Christmas stamp set and the Candlelight Christmas Specialty DSP with a colour scheme of Early Espresso, Real Red and Very Vanilla this is the card I have created. 

The snowflake is made using the Snow Flurry Bigz Die and Champagne Glimmer Paper with the sentiment cut out using the Apothecary Accents Framelits.

The Very Vanilla was embossed using the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder.  This sketch is great as you can make a christmas card in no time at all.  The sketch is easy to adapt for whatever type of card that you are wishing to make.

I received an Honourable Mention for my card which I am quite chuffed with.

Snowman

The challenge this week at Dynamic Duos is to use the colours of Marina Mist and Basic Black with a Dessert Option of a Snowman Theme.

Would you believe that the only Snowman stamp I had in my stash was from the Jolly Bingo Bits stamp set.  He was so tiny that he got lost on the all the card ideas I came up with.  As a last resort I stamped him three times and punched him out using the 1" circle punch and the made co-ordinating 1 1/4" scalloped circles in the colours of the challenge and layered them on the card.

The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Sentiment stamp set.

Pretty In Pink

The challenge this week at Pals Paper Arts is based on this sketch.

Pink and white are so pretty together.  I have team them up with the Stippled Blossoms stamp set and created this pretty card for the challenge.

DSP is the Pink Pirouette from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack.  Cardstock is Pink Pirouette and Whisper White and the ink is from the Classic Stampin' Ink Pads Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink, Old Olive and Basic Black.

The sentiment is from the Petite Pairs stamp set, which was stamped on  a doily from the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits.  Embossing folders used are Perfect Polka Dots and Fancy Fan with Whisper White Organza ribbon as a finishing touch.

Come to Bethlehem

Using the Framelits Window Frames Collection I have made an easel card of a different shape.  This idea I got from Narelle Farrugia whose work I absolutely adore, with all the layers and elements on her cards.

At Create with Connie & Mary this week, the challenge is to make a shaped card using framelits or dies and also to use this sketch.

The colour scheme I have used is Basic Black, Whisper White and Champagne Glimmer Paper as the challenge at The Paper Players this week is to add some glam and glitz by featuring gold or silver on our creations, so I have combined the two challenges to make my card.

The Champagne Glimmer Paper is the gold and the glam is a Rhinestone added to the star.

The stamp sets used are Come to Bethlehem, Christmas Wishes and Teeny Tiny Sentiments.

The colour scheme is not the norm for Christmas, but a liked the finished result.
