613 Avenue create

 My next card is for 613 Avenue create. I made a tag using mixed media and want to use it . I had some music paper so put that as my background, then added the tag on top. Forst I used a light blue watercolour wash on my tag. Next, I misted in red through a stencil to get the herringbones. Finally I added the bird sticker.


My sentiment said every love story is beautiful. This can apply to several different scenarios.


I'm also entering this on Creative Artiste mixed media challenge.

Tic tac toe and AAA cards.

 This morning I thought I'd make some cards using my Counterfeit kit papers. 

They are for various card challenges.


Tic tac toe wants us to use a line from here.. I've gone across the top line.

This is also for AAA cards where we are asked to copy the design of a card.

Paper funday card

 At The paper Funday challenge they ask for summer themed cards.

I had the word smile from Cocoa Vanilla stickers and another Cocoa vanilla cut aparts sheet with bright summer inspiration.

I made this card for a friend who has just had an operation. It is bright and will cheer her up.



I've also made a pink card for my great niece's 21st

Freaky Fast formula

 


In my counterfeit kit I put some offcuts. I was able to use 3 of them on this layout. I chose one of the bright gaudy papers and a simple photo


Just a few simple embellishments.

Black magic sketches

 


Here's the sketch for black magic sketches.

I used a bone paper from my kit plus the black cardstock. I added a brown strip of card that I had. Then added washi tape in navy and a scalloped edge border sticker. I tied twine around all this.

Next, I glued 2 flowers with a black daisy underneath as my floral arrangement. I put coffee coloured bling as enamel dots around that cluster. I also added a black daisy at the top of my photo with 2 strips of off-white paper. then I matted my photo in white.

My friend and I were sharing a joke while taking selfies.You can see we are both giggling, hence the title.



Counterfeit kit for July.

 "Crescendo" Deluxe Theme Kit – {Not} Just for Boys Kit Club

Here is the CKC kit for July.




Since I'm no longer on the design team I can please myself to a certain extent what I do. I had a couple of gaudy papers I put in my kit plus I knew I had music papers.

 Here's what I came up with!



The alphas are brown but I will make them work.
