Trio


Hi there!  I'm back with 3 more cards.  This first card is for 3 challenges - ColourQ, The Male Room and The Friday Mashup.  The theme for The Male Room is Up in the Air (but no birds) so I inked up these Lawn Fawn hot air balloons for the first time.  For The Friday Mashup we were to use the sketch &/or 3 elements.  Obviously I went for the just the 3 elements (although one could possibly argue a very loose interpretation of the sketch!)

Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Poppy Parade, Pool Party, Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake) Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (Balloons from Blue Skies, Sentiment from Flying By) Lawn Fawn
Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Gems:  Doodlebug


Next up is a card for Just Add Ink's colour challenge.  I love the ombre look of the blues in this challenge palette and I used the new SU In colour Tip Top Taupe for the first time.


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (Soft SKy, Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Tip Top Taupe) Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (Sentiment from Botanical Silhouettes) Papertrey Ink
Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Dies:  (Perched Bird, Woodland Branch) Memory Box, (Vertical Stripes Cover Plate) Papertrey Ink
Gems:  Recollections

  
Finally today is a card for the current CAS(E) This Sketch challenge.  For some reason this sketch made me think of a cape so I inked up these new (to me) Papertrey stamps and used this Tim Holtz border die for the first time ever.  (The lovely Jenny Mullens of Crafting in the Country sent it to me ages ago).  Kind of fun huh?  Okay that's it for me.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for the latest CASology challenge!



Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point) Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (Dots from So 80s) WPlus9, (Sentiments from Zappy Birthday) Papertrey Ink
Ink:  (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Dies:  (Zap) Papertrey Ink, (Brackets) Tim Holtz Alterations

I say, "WOW!" to all three! Those balloons are perfectly placed and make great use of the colors. I LOVE the ombre look on the second card. That die makes a great cape, that's creative, and I'm sure Jenny would approve!

All three are great! I really love the aquas in the second and the superhero card - that border die implies a cape - perfect!

Jen, you have used our challenge colours so beautifully. I love that you inlaid strips of the blues in ombre fashion, and the design of your card is really striking. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week!

Love the clean lines of the balloon card. The sympathy card is perfect. I didn't see the cape, myself, but love where your inspiration took you!

I really like the sympathy card too - nice layout and love the ombre effect with the colour.
