Challenges all round….

Published by Makeesha at 9:30 am under Cards, Scrapbooking

Hey again!

Well I am sure you are keen to know what the new challenge will be for this week…..not to mention find out who I picked for top card this week!

So once again it was hard, but I just loved this card by Mandy Schiller! Her take on an “femenine Bronc Buster” was really outside the box, and I love it! Go check out Mandy’s Blog at www.mandyschiller.blogspot.com

Here is her creation:

Thanks to everyone else who played along……who where they? Here is the list!

So for the next Challenge……….

I thought it was about time for a Colour Challenge again, and decided on the following colours….

Soft sky

Pumpkin pie

Basic grey

Regal rose

Whisper white

Yes these colours work together……something a little different, but I like it, how about you?

Here are my samples for you:

Do you like? I have created the petals by stamping the ouline stamp from Pick a Petal stamp set from Stampin’Up with Basic grey ink onto some Pumpkin pie DS paper. I then cut the petals out, and mounted them onto Regal rose cardstock and cut that out so that they had a nice border. I then added some bling with my 2-way glue pen and dazzling diamonds glitter. The rest is pretty easy to work out etc…. but if you have questions just ask.

Next I created this Scrapbook page of my daughter Tiarne. I created the flower using the Fabulous Flowers stamp set, by stamping it onto the Soft sky, Pumpkin pie, and Regal rose cardstock with Versamark and embossing it with white embossing powder. I cut them out and layered them, placing a pink rhinestone brad in the centre. I paper pierced a border around the Soft sky cardstock. and lastly added the ribbon, brackets made with the large oval punches, and used the sprial punch on the pumpkin DS paper.

Then last of all I made this little Love note:

For this little one, I have used all the coloured cardstock, and the One of a kind stamp set. I used paper piercing, pumpkin DS paper and some Soft sky double stitched ribbon and a pumpkin rhinestone brad for embellishment.

I soooooooo hope you can play along this week, and i totally can’t wait to see your creations!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Keesh, Here’s my effort! Thanks for the challenges - it drags me away from my scrapbooking and into the world of cards again.

I loved that colour combo! Not one I’d use normally but it was fun to work with!

Hi Keesh from sunny, warm and beautiful Cairns. Thanks for the tricky colours . Would love to know where you got that combination from but it was nice to use the grey which I don’t tend to use. Here is my card.
