The Artful Stampers Blog Hop Challenge #21

Welcome from Annette's blog and Colour Combo week.

Another combo ideal for a boy themed card again.

Case'd from Anne Marie Hile

I needed to make a baby card for a teacher at school who is going on maternity leave soon, so took advantage of this weeks challenge. I was worried that because I had to upsize my card base, that the elements would look a little lost, but I think it turned out ok.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #20

Welcome from Anna's blog.
This week is Sketch Challenge #10.

This is the first time that I have used this stamp set which is from the new Occasions Catalogue. I purchased the photopolymer set which makes it very easy to place the stamp exactly where you want it. There really are some lovely elements in this set. I love the delicate butterfly dies that come with the bundle, they are very feminine. I did a little bit of masking this week and I am happy with the effect that was produced to give a soft but vibrant background. I also used velum for my banner layer which is a little hard to see in the photo. This was used to soften the green fern stamp that is underneath.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop # 19

Welcome from Annette's blog this week.

We have a colour challenge again.

I decided to do another masculine thank you card this week as I thought this colour scheme went really well. The You Brighten My Day stamp set is from our Sale-A-Bration catalogue and can be chosen for free with any purchase of Stampin' Up! products to the value of only $90. 

The first card I made was a copy of the card that Brian King from Stampin' with Brian made last week. I really loved the simplicity of it (I did change a couple of small details though).

CASE'd from Brian King

I then decided to try and come up with my own interpretation of this card, so flipped it on its side and did some embossing as well.
