Altenew March Inspiration Challenge

Hey there. The color palette for the March Challenge at Altenew just made me think of some apples I had recently purchased.  So I whipped out my Educators Rule set and I used the Fresh Flowers die set to make the leaves.

I used a ruler and an aqua alcohol marker to create the lines.

 

AAA Cards Challenge #285

Simon Says Stamp Favorite Things Release

 
Good morning! Simon has a new release today called Favorite Things! The set I got to work with is titled "One for the Books". This is super fitting for me as I have always loved to read. I feel like it transports you to other places and times or lets you solve crimes. So here we go with some fun book cards. By the way I just love the font on the sub phrases.

This card used a bunch of the neutral ink colors from the Concord and 9th ink line to create my card base then I stamped and fussy cut out one book for my focal point.

This could have been a simple, one layer card but I did add the panel popped up with foam tape. The background stencil is from Tim Holtz, Sparkle Fade.

I added a bit of gold heat embossing to my card with Simon's Detail Embossing Powder.

And finally, here are a few more ideas I was playing with. Thanks for stopping by Sue.

AAA Cards Challenge #282

 Hey there. We created a new theme this year for a few of our challenges on the AAA Cards blog, "Follow My Lead". One of our designers will create a card to inspire you. You will use that card as your inspiration to create your own CAS card. First up is Marlies.

I decided to create a stack of white die cuts with a red heart to mimic Mariles' card. I used the typewriter from Spellbinders and the heart confetti die from Echo Park. I accentuated the heart with red ink and glossy accents, and heat embossed the greeting from Papertrey Ink, Scripted on vellum. 

I can't wait to see how Marlies card inspires you!

Altenew January Inspiration Palette

 Hello, I wanted to play with some new sets I received. Altenew had a pretty inspiration photo to draw from on their January challenge.

I used the Chocolate Flowers stamp and stencil set and the Timeless Sentiments 2 for my card.

This also fits the bill for the Simon Says Stamp "Something New" Monday Challenge. I used Concord and 9th inks for the blended flowers and stamping.
