Stylish Flurry - SFF120613

 

I needed a 5x7 card, and saw this sketch on the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog (SFF120613) that I wanted to try with it.  You may view the sketch challenge here: http://sketchfrenzyfriday.blogspot.com/2013/12/sff120613.html

I also used a prior color challenge from the Paper Players Art blog (PPA182).  You may view that color challenge here: http://www.palspaperarts.com/2013/12/ppa182-a-color-challenge.html

I would never have thought to use these 3 colors together, but I believe my card came out really nice.

Thanks for looking!

Supplies Used:

Stamp set - Festive Flurry

Paper - Elegant Eggplant, Smoky Slate, Very Vanilla

Ink - Smoky Slate

Accessories - Big Shot, Stylish Stripes TIEF, Festive Flurry Framelits, Window Frames Framelits, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals

I created this card for my Aunt, as she will be going through chemo treatments to combat a rare blood disorder (they say it's not cancer..... so it's very curable with treatment! Thank the Lord!).

I used the theme of leaves from the Paper Players Challenge on their blog (PP172).  You may view the challenge here: http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/2013/11/challenge-172-cas-with-leaves-from-nance.html

I also used a sketch from the Sketch Frenzy Friday Blog (SFF101813).  The challenge is over with, but the layout was a great one..... so I kept it to use at a later time. You may view that challenge here: http://sketchfrenzyfriday.blogspot.com/2013/10/sff101813.html

After I created my card.... I was thinking it would look a lot better with a texture to the Early Espresso background. Hmmm...what do you think?

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Set - Wonderfall

Paper - Old Olive, Early Espresso, Whisper White

Ink - Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler

Making masculine cards is a bit difficult for me...especially when I don't have many masculine stamp sets. The colors for the Paper Players Challenge (PP90) were a great fit for this masculine card I needed for my brother.

I also used the Stampin' Connection Card Sketch Challenge (SCCSC114) for this card.... just changed the layout to be landscape.

Morning Chat Color Challenge (Rich Razzleberry, Marina Mist, Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz)

I was blog surfing and found this Challenge on the Paper Players blog. You can view the challenge and all the cards created here:http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/2012/02/challenge-83-cas-masculine-theme-from.html .  I needed a masculine card, so I figured I'd incorporate this challenge into my card. I stamped the sentiment first, then after masking, sponged three different colors in the rectangle. I embossed with the stripes folder afterward.

I added my card to the Morning Chat Challenge too....although my colors don't fit exactly with the challenge! lol! Here is the link to all the cards created with this challenge: http://www.butternutsagedesigns.blogspot.com/p/morning-chat-challenge.html
