The Card Concept #9

Hi everyone,

This is my second post for today!! You may scroll down for the new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge! :)

I would like to welcome you,to a new The Card Concept Challage!
Every "Purple" lover will LOVE this Challenge! :)

Purple is my absolute favorite color...always has been!! I got a lot of eye rolling through the years...people never seemed to understand WHY in the world purple?!! hehe
BUT,my favorite Paper Companies don't seem to be a huge fan of this color,so i don't own any papers,and boy...i have quite a few paper packs!! haha
If you know any purple paper packs,please let me know,maybe i just missed them!!

 Because i couldn't use pattern papers,this sure was a Challenge for me.I am not even sure if you can call my card a Freesty Collage card,i think it looks to "clean" for it! Sorry!! :/
I tried some inlay die cutting on this one.Seen so many beautiful cards all over the internet and this was a good time for me to try it out.And i really like how it turned out.

supplies: Clearly Besotted - Geometric Rose Die Large - A little Sentimental - Tag Along, My Creative Time - Fun Stitched Edges, Button, Twine, Sequins, Wink of Stella, Gems

Hopefuly you get some time to play long!!
And don't be afraid of this color,i mean hey...this is a Challenge right?! hehe

Freshly Made Sketches #133

Hi everyone,

Welcome to a new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!
It's my turn to bring you this weeks Sketch! I really hope you'll like it and play along!! :)

I must admit...i did had some problems...yes,with my own Sketch! haha
I tried several squares with several images,and nothing turned out ok.So i ended up with a circle image.And the circle ontop is a little big,so you can't really see the half circle underneith,but it's there! :)
But the Team made an awesome job on the Sketch...like they always do! :)

The Card Concept #8

Hi everyone,

This is my second post for today! You may wanne scroll down for the new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge! :)

Welcome to a brand new Challenge at The Card Concept!!
I just love all the beautiful creations the Team has created!!
And it's always fun to see what you all come up with!!

And here come my Fresstyle Collage card!
I'm not sure,if i went a little crazy on mine?!! :D BUT,i sure had a lot of fun creating it!! I just couldn't stop adding stuff!! ;)
After i choose my sentiment,i thought it would be a fun idea to let little hearts rain! I created the background,with clouds that i die cut ( using them as a mask ) and distressed it using tumbled glass and peacock feathers Inks.
I covered the clouds with Rock Candy Distress Glitter to give it MORE shine! :) Just like the little hearts that i covered with Glossy Accents! So,i have rain and shine on my card! :)

Hello everyone,

Today,i would like to share a card for the latest retro sketches Challenge!!
Glad i am still on time this week.I made a card for their last Challenge as well,and well...i completly forgat to upload it!! I think i am getting old!!!! ;)

I really tried not to go with the trend of adding string in a loose looking way behind the images.
But,hmmm...well,i tried!! hehe The flower just looked so plain and lonely on the orange paper.I think i could get used to the thought of doing this more often! ;)

The Card Concept #7

Hey everyone,

This is my second post for today! Please scroll down for the new Freshly Made Skteches Challange!!

And now,welcome to a new The Card Concept Challange!!! Me loving this one a looooot!!! :D

Perfect Challenge for me! ;) I am pretty much Butterfly addicted.I love these beautiful little "creatures"! I have two butterflies tattooed with the names of my sweet girls ontop of each one.Yes...now everyone knows i am tattooed! ;)

I focused pretty much on the beautiful colors of the butterfly from the inspiration photo! I used Shadow Inks and a stamp from Simon Says Stamp to create the background.I used the same inks to color in the two banner shaped stripes.I used the Wink of Stella pen and Glossy Accents on my butterfly to give it this beautiful shine.I also used a few Gemstones,but not to much,so the focus will stay on the butterfly.

supplies: Clearly Besotted - Butterfly Wishes Stamp and Die, Hero Arts - Shadow Inks, Avery Elle - Handwritten Notes, My Creative Time - Fun Stitched Edges - Stitched Journal Die, Twine, Simon Says Stamp - Thinking of you Stamp Set, Hero Arts - Gems, Ranger - Black Enamel Accents, Wink of Stella, Glossy Accents
