Summer Card Camp - Week 4

What a shame this great course has come to an end.  Initially I was attracted by the designers involved but I have learnt a great deal from Jennifer and Kristina - both technique-wise and colour combinations.

Whilst I quite like my card, I think I have put too many greens into it.  I thought Kiwi Kiss was a great idea but I have placed it too close to the felt flower which is a different green.  Oh well, live and learn.

What you need

Cardstock - PTI white, Hawaiian Shores

Patterned paper - PTI Green Boutique

Stamps - Hero Arts Sweet Threads, Sweet Threads Thank You

Ink - SU Taken with Teal

Ribbon - SU Kiwi Kiss satin; thread

Button, Die - PTI

Gems - Kaisercraft

Other - Felt

Waltzingmouse Challenge #55 in Card Camp Week 3 colours

Just a quick post tonight as I am running very late with this card for card camp.  We have had relatives staying with us this week and while it's been lovely having them it plays havoc with card making!!  I have also been preparing 50th wedding anniversary invitations for my in-laws, and that has taken up quite abit of time making sure all the family are happy with the design.

I love this colour combination and couldn't wait to use my new WMS stamps.  I only realised today just how versatile these flourishes are going to be.  I possibly should have gone with SU very vanilla cardstock as I had difficulty stamping onto PTI vintage cream, just need more practice.

What you need
Cardstock - PTI Vintage Cream
Stamps - WMS Big Bloom Chrysanthemums;  Big Day Essentials
Ink - SU Real Red;  Early Espresso (and marker), Soft Suede, Crumb Cake
Brad - ?? Franchville

Summer (winter) Card Camp - week 2

What a couple of weeks we have had.  We have all been sick with different illnesses and of course, over school holidays.  So I completely missed the first week of Card Camp, but just managed to register at the last minute.

I wanted to participate as so many of my favourite designers were involved, and I have learnt alot particularly this week with a completely new technique to me which I am very keen to try.  Other things you seem to know instinctively but it is great to have it explained why it looks right, not being a graphic designer by trade.  Certainly worth it if you were considering the course in the future.

Here is this weeks colour combination (hope I am allowed to use the graphic..)

Slightly hard to think of summer in the middle of winter in the southern hemisphere, but they are very cheerful, happy colours.  Here is my contribution

Again, forgot the sentiment and possibly should have left it off as it didn't stamp properly (maybe a tag would have worked, oh well).  Look forward to the bonus combinations tomorrow.
