Pals Paper Arts - PPA138 Colour Challenge

Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler are the colours for the challenge this week at Pals Paper Arts

PPA138

I have been keeping a file of sketches that I like as this seems to be a stumbling block for me with colour challenges, where I do not have a sketch to start with and have trouble getting started on creating my card.   This is a sketch that I saw recently in a magazine, it was a very girly, girly card in the magazine but I liked the sketch so in my file it went for future use.
  

Stamps sets used are "Extreme Elements" and "Happiest Birthday Wishes" with Neutrals
DSP Paper Pack and Attic Boutique DSP.

U Rock


For our next Stampin' Up Card Club challenge we have to design a card based on the Razzleberry Card on page 14 of the new Autumn-Winter Mini Catalogue.  I made this card yesterday in trying out my designs for the challenge.  I have used all Stampin' Up products.  The base card is basic black with crumb cake and natural ivory being the other two colours I have used, with black ink for all stamping.

I stamped the music on the card using the Music Notes standard wheel. I then used the big ink splot (that is how I describe it) from the Extreme Elements stamp set to stamp the background underneath the record.  The record was made by punching from basic black cardstock a 2 1/5" circle and a small circle using the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, and from the natural ivory a 1 1/4" circle.  The natural ivory circle was put through the Square Lattice emobssing folder to give it some texture.   The circles were then layered to create the record (I thought it looked a bit like a target, but it is supposed to be a record to go with the music theme).

The ticket tags were made by cutting natural ivory cardstock 1" x 2" stamping the sentiment and then punching the corners using the 2mm handheld punch.  The lines around the ticket tags were free drawn.  I used the U Rock wording from the Perfect Words stamp set, however I only inked part of the same to use the words that I wanted, the actual stamp is U Rock My World.  The guitar is from the Grunge Rock stamp set, stamped on crumb cake cardstock and cut out.  The ticket tags have been tucked under the edge of the record and the guitar layered up with dimensionals.

I made the film strip and ticket tags.  The film strip is a strip of Whisper White and I have hand drawn the filmstrip on it and coloured it using the black Stampin' Write Journaller.  I punched the corners of the ticket tags out with the 2mm Handheld Punch, stamped the image on, doodled around the edges and sponged Crumb Cake and Soft Suede ink over the top, I also sponged the film strip with the Crumb Cake and Soft Suede.   Hope you enjoy.
