celebrate

 hello fellow stampers!

Today I have a card made for the 200th game over at AAA cards. Wow, that's quite an achievement - congrats to the AAA team for the awesome challenges! Keep up the great work!

Also entering the card with the lovely people at Less is More who have a colour challenge this fortnight: #453 Purple and Yellow

What's a celebration without balloons?

I started by separately blending wilted violet and scattered straw distress oxide inks, then cut out the circles for the balloons using a punch. I fussy cut 2 little tabs for the balloon tails and adhered black and white bakers twine to the back. The balloons were popped up on foam squares. The sentiment was stamped with memento tuxedo black and versamark using my Misti, then heat embossed with clear so it's nice and shiny, then was adhered to a black strip for an outline. This was popped up with foam squares also. The little white balloon 'shine' were cutouts from a diecut left in my scraps.

Thanks for stopping by!

*Edit: Thank you so much for awarding my card in the top 3 for this challenge!

hello

 hello there stampers!

I saw the challenge over at Perfectly CAS this month and was so pleased to see Geometric as their theme.

Okay so I'll admit it. I'm a maths lover. Bring on the circles and rectangles, so awesome!

I decided on a kite as the main shape because I mean who doesn't love a perfect quadrilateral? lol I cut 1/4" strips of rainbow cards and adhered them to a white card then cut out the kite shape. I stencilled a cloud formation using MFT Rolling clouds and distress oxide ink and adhered it to the back of a panel that had a circle window punched from it.The extra bits of the coloured card strips were cut into tiny rectangles for the kite tail. The sentiment from Altenew Sentiment Strips was stamped onto white card, cut into a rectangle then all the card pieces were popped up on foam on the front panel.

I kept it clean and simple and left out the lines on the kite and tail - interestingly I think our imagination draws the lines in anyway...

Thanks for stopping by!

*Edit: I'm thrilled to be chosen as winner for the 'geometric' challenge!
