AAA Cards Challenge 252 - Colour Scheme

 Hello Crafty Friends,

It's time for a new CAS card challenge at AAA Cards, and this fortnight we have a 

Colour Scheme

for you, please see challenge card further down.

Here's my take


I was inspired not only by the colours on the challenge card, but also the rectangles and the roundness of the hot air balloon (at least I think it's a hot air balloon on the card). 

Products used for my card
Stencil:
"Breakout" by Visible Image
Inks: Distress Oxides by Tim Holtz/ Ranger
Die: "Hip Hip Hooray D180126" by Gummiapan
Embellishments: Enamel Dots "Transparent" by Nellie's Choice




In need of more inspiration? Head on over to the challenge blog where you'll find more inspiration by the amazing design team and our special guest designer for this challenge, Hannelie. You can also find all the information you need on how to play along and AAA Cards definiton of CAS (Clean And Simple) on the blog.

I hope you'll join us for this challenge. You have until Noveber 11th to create, upload and link your CAS card to AAA Cards challenge blog. Can't wait to see what you come up with!



Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time!

Take care, keep crafting and have fun!

ATC - Visible Image August Swap "Summer Vibes"

 Hello,

It's been a long time since I posted anything here, or on my Instagram.
I've been fighting a rather nasty respiratory infection. I'm still not a 100%, but I'm slowly getting there. So as you can imagine I haven't had the energy to create, or upload anything.

But today I would like to share an ATC I created for the August swap at Visible Image's Facebook group. It's a monthly swap, and the good thing is that you only sign up for one month at the time. The only limitation is that you can only use stamps, dies and stencils by Visible Image, but even if you only own one VI product you can take part as the themes of the challenges are very "open". So for the month of August the theme of the swap was


Summer Vibes

and here's what I came up with



For this ATC I have used the following VI products; "Bee Happy" and "Flower Power" stamp sets and the "Honeycomb Hex" stencil. I also created a card to send to my swap partner, this time in the UK. This is not mandatory!


Here's the card


and here's a picture of the ATC and card together


If you would like to have a go and join the swap, the registration for the November swap is now open on Facebook. Just search for the Visible Image group and you'll find all the information you'll need to join in the fun. Maybe we'll be swap partners!

Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate you taking the time!

Take care, keep crafting and have fun!
