I've got two cards today...I can tell my age is beginning to take it's toll. I had mounds of laundry and cleaning to do and was just too tired to post yesterday. Hope you'll forgive me.
Here's the card I created for the SCS Clean and Simple Challenge (CAS116) this week. We were to use the Rule of Thirds. It's a rule of composition for photography or art. The link gives a grid and description.
I used the Alpha Blocks die from Papertrey Ink to cut my little rectangles, popped them up on dimensionals, then added my sentiment. (PTI Train Tracks). Super easy, super simple. I have a problem lining things up due to a brain injury so I won't tell you how many times I had to move those little shapes!
Supplies:
Paper - Neenah Paper (base), SU Melon Mambo, So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise
Stamps - Train Tracks (Papertrey Ink)
Next up is the Teapot Tuesday (MMTPT143) Challenge. This week's card destination is a fun one. We can choose to send the card to the person who uploads to the left of us, if they're participating in the challenge!
I used the sketch from this week's Mojo Monday 188 Sketch Challenge. They've given us two options...round or square. I chose one of my most favorite shaped card templates from The Cutting Cafe - the Scalloped Circle! This month's inspiration challenge from TCC is shaped cards.
Supplies:
Paper - Black base (PTI), DP (DCWV Adhestive back Pattern Stack)
Card Templates - The Cutting Cafe - Scalloped Circle Shaped Card and Circles
Ink - Memento, Copic markers
Stamps - Stamps by Judith Early Bird
Accessories - sewing machine, dimensionals, brads, white marker (tool alert! The BEST white marker is the Sailor White Writer rolling ball pen)
Shopping alert - There's a 20% off entire purchase coupon for Michael's link on the SCS link! Not sure how long it's going to be there so go pick it up....quick!
The first one is 'simply' bright, cheerful, and pretty too!
ReplyDeleteThe second is lovely! I have that one down to simulate I hope!
Fabulous cards! Love that CAS card and your little birdhouse card is adorable. Thanks for playing Mojo Monday!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Charlene. I know what you mean about lining things up...I am very "particular" about that as I know you are as well. Love those bright colors on the first...nice CAS and the round card is a great version of the sketch challenge!
