AAA Colourful - Colourboard #5

Hello and Happy Weekend,

It's the 15th of June, a very special day, it's not just my birthday (hooray), but also time for the fifth challenge over at AAA Colourful, and this month we have a beautiful colourboard for you to be inspired by

This time I've opted for a card, and more or less just copied the colourboard with it's lovely blue sky and the red balloon. It's such a gorgeous picture I just had to try to turn it into a card.

I started by ink blending my sky on a card panel, then I die cut, coloured and assembled the ballon before adhering it to the card panel. I die cut a banner and stamped and heat embossed a sentiment on it, and added that to the card panel. Then it was time to adhere the panel to a card base, but should I have a border around the panel or not? At first I wasn't going to, but in the end I decided to go with it. Here's how it turned out

Products used
Ink: distress Oxide ink "Salty Ocean" and "Candied Apple", Distress ink "Festive Berries" and "Lumberjack Plaid" all by tim Holtz/ Ranger, VersaMark "watermark stamp pad" by Tsukineko

Student 2024

 Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I'm sharing a card I created for our youngest son's girlfriend who graduated/ "tog studenten" on the 11th of June. She loves butterflies and the colour purple/lilac, which is also the colours of the educational program she attended, so the theme of the card was easy. This is what I came up with

I also incorporated a traditional "studentmössa" ( a Swedish graduation hat) to give the card that graduation feel. I hope you like it!

Here's a photo of our son and his girlfriend in her "studentmössa" taken at the graduation party. They are so cute together.

Have a lovely evening/ morning/ day!

Take care, keep crafting and have fun!
