365 Cards Day 91

I can't believe I managed to complete EVERY challenge at 365 Cards this week!!! Today's final challenge at 365 Cards was "Front & Center". We had to keep every element of the card in the center, leaving lots of white space around the edge. Here is what I came up with:

365 Cards Days 89, 90 & 2S4U Kazan's #27 & Bonus

Day 89 & 2S4U Bonus Sketch:
This is the bonus sketch that was provided by one of the DT members at 2S4U. I also followed the Day 89 challenge at 365 Cards. Their challenge was Imagine This: Watermelon. Watermelon is the inspiration and we had to either use the colour or an actual image of a watermelon on our card. I chose to do a bit of both.

Here is my take on both of these challenges:

Recipee:

Creative Memories pink cardstock & watermelon stickers

Crafts green paper

Sheer Creations ribbon, CTMH inks, "Special Friendship" stamp set for inside sentiment

365 Cards Day 90 & Kazan's Sketch #27

I was really excited that I was able to use another card for a double challenge this week....yippee! Using the sketch that Kazan designed for us this week over at 2 Sketches 4 You, I then followed the colour challenge over at 365 Cards. The challenge there was "I See Your 'Two' Colours and we had to design a card using only 2 colours. There were a lot of entries for this week, so pop over to both of these blogs and check them out. There is a link on my sidebar that will take you there in a blink.

Here is my take on Day 90 & Kazan's sketch:

365 Cards Days 86, 87 & 88

Wow, this week has been a wee bit busy around my house. The good part is that the weather outside has been mostly fantastic and I was even able to enjoy some of it. In this post, I have 3 cards to upload for this week's challenges over at 365 Cards. I have fallen way behind this week and I still have 3 more cards to tell you about after these ones, but those will have to wait till later. On to Monday's challenge at 365.
Day 86 - Grape Fun
The challenge: use purple as the primary colour and incorporate atleast 5 circles on the card. This is what I came up with.

Recipee:

Hot Off The Press purple paper

Crafts ribbon & DMC floss

Maya Roads chipboard tree

Creative Memories pen

CTMH buttons & inks

Unknown cardstock, green paper & dragonfly

Day 87 - The "Eyes" Have It

This challenge was to use the word "eye" somewhere on your card. After a ton of thinking, I decided to look on the computer under clip art images for a colouring book style picture of a cyclops. When I came across this image of Cyclops from the X-men, I knew I had found my theme for this challenge.

Recipee:

CTMH inks & watercolour pencils

Crafts Birthday Cake charm

Stikopotamus sticker letters

"Cyclops" X-Men picture from Computer

Unknown cardstock & ribbon

Day 88 - Quite A Pair

Today's challenge was to "design an anniversary or engagement card; no wedding cards." For this challenge, I decided to emboss plain navy blue cardstock instead of using a patterned paper. I also used a blending pen to blend in the watercolour pencils so that it would have the "look" of being painted with actual watercolour paints. I don't think you can read the charm I attached to the bow, but it says "Cherish".

Recipee:

Unknown cardstock & Versa Mark ink pad

Sheer Creations ribbon

Prima flowers & Queen & Company brads

CTMH inks, watercolour pencils, blending pen, "Say It In Style" stamp set, embossing powder & "Cherish" word charm

Stampin' Up "Baroque" stamping wheel & "Summer By The Sea" stamp set

Thanks for stopping by to have a look, and I hope to be back today with the other 3 card challenges for this week. I still have 2 I have to make yet. Here's hoping I make it...lol!
