Hi friends. My card for today is combining a few challenges again. :) This week at Seize the birthday there is a great CAS sketch and the colors at 10 minute craft dash are represented in my card above. I was also inspired by Muse, Marion Vagg.
I love the white embossing on the different colors (I did a card similar to this a while back) and that is what inspired me in Marion's card. I decided to use my Versamarker to highlight the flowers a bit, since I still had time left. :) Here is Marion's card, the sketch and the 10 minute craft dash colors.
Cardstock: Whisper White, Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Regal Rose
Ink: Versamark, Crumb Cake
Stamps: Happiest Birthday Wishes, Secret Garden
Accessories: White Embossing powder, Versamarker
My second card for you today is for yesterday's Online Pattern Play class.
In yesterday's videos we learned how to alter our Patterned Paper. I was looking through my stash and found this fun pattern. I added some crystal effects to the red dots to make them sparkle and shine and I also took my white gel pen and added white dots to some of the Sahara sand dots to add more interest. I CASEd a card by Kelly Rasmussen. One more Christmas card done for me. :)
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Holiday Lounge DSP(retired SU)
Ink: Versamark
Stamps: Silent Night (PTI)
Accessories: White Gel Pen, Crystal Effects, Snowflake brad, Dimensionals, white embossing powder
What a nice job! AND how clever of you to do x'mas cards all year and different ones at that!
ReplyDeleteThe combined challenge card worked out great and you did a good job on your homework. I'm using my homework for a challenge and will be posting it this morning.
ReplyDeleteAll three cards are delightful. I love the look of the white against your patterned paper in your first two cards. Outstanding job on altering your paper in the third card. I just joined the class and need to play catch up.
ReplyDeleteThese are both terrific! Great designs and I love the bold colours.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your cards - so pretty! Good luck in the challenges! I so wanted to take the patterned paper class, but it was exactly during my conference and to take it later is just not as much fun....I think I will simply learn from you. Thanks for doing your homework :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on both cards, Kristie! I love how you altered the CS on the second one, and I LOVE those white embossed flowers on the first one! Simply gorgeous both!!
ReplyDeleteI love that you used the marker around the flowers. It gives them such a cool dimension! Fabulous card! :)

What a pretty use of this set! Lovely Spring colors!
ReplyDeleteWe are next door neighbors on MUSE this week! Very pretty card- I love the embossed flowers and the colors you picked.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards have such a neat graphic look. Wonderful patterns too Kristie~
ReplyDeleteWay to go Kristie! Both cards are fabulous and I love how you highlighted your white flower. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards, Kristie! Love the pink/green combo for the Muse challenge, very springy! And those embossed flowers are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteMore beauty to look at! Love both the cards and spring colors. Love the pattern play card too!
ReplyDeleteThese are both brilliant, Kristie, the versamark edging really makes the blooms seem popped up ... love how you altered the patterned paper! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Love how you highlighted the embossing on your Muse card with a Versamarker--it looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI've missed a bunch of your stuff in my move from Google Reader to Feedly for some reason, so now I'm catching up! Love this take on the Muse - adding the shading around the flowers really makes them pop!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, this card is so stunning, Kristie! I love how you were able to take inspiration from the Muse and do your own spin on it- it turned out lovely, especially in these colors!
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining along in the 10 Minute Craft Dash!
I just made a card like this for the next craft dash! Great minds think alike :).
ReplyDeleteObviously I love your card!
FAB card Kristie - love the strips of colour :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined in the fun at the 10 Minutes Craft Dash, hope to see you again soon!
Oh fun, your Christmas card rocks and I love how you altered your dsp. How many Christmas cards are you up to now?
