Three vases for a 'Mazal Tov' card

 

Happy Saturday dear crafty friends!

Today's card is in rather cool colors, inspired by the challenge at Color Throwdown, which asked for light blue, gray and brown:

I partially embossed a white panel, and grounded the vases on a brown cs stripe, which was also embossed in a woodgrain look, so the vases are standing on a wooden shelf.

From a light gray cs I die cut 3 vases, in different shapes (Sizzix Bigs Crockery), and partially distressed them with Distress Oxide 'tumbled glass'.

The vases were adhered on the woodgrain shelf with foam dots, and I added some pre-cut leaves in two brown hues and light blue.

The sentimen, 'Mazal Tov', is from some old letter stickers, in dark brown.

For the layout, I followed a sketch given in a local FB group:

Get Well, We Love you - a cas pink card

 I made this card using only solid cardstocks, in pink tones and white.

It's a 'Get Well' card, and the sentiment, a sticker, says, in Hebrew: 'Speedy Recovery, We love you!'.

I really like the bandais I've created, using embossing folder and punches.

It goes for the following challenges:

Perfectly CAS #32 - Think Pink:

Speedy Recovery card - CTD meets FMS

 A card I made for two challenges:

Color Throwdown #717 - pink, mustard and green:

At first, this color combination was quite a challenge for me, but then I went for a flowery theme, and it came very easily. In the photo, the 3 small flowers looks a little orange, but IRL thery're much more yellowish than in the photo.

Freshly Made Sektches #560 - a lovely sketch. The circle can be replaced by any shape:

I added the thin strip of mustrad plaid between the two rectangles, as I felt that on my card, the gap really needed it.

The sentiment is a sticker, and it says, in Hebrew: "Always keep your smile, Speedy recovery".

Only Solid Cardstock / White on White - Let it Snow

 

I'm still playing with making my cards using only solid cardstocks. 

I had an idea in my head of a snowy scene, so I used only white cardstock, so it's also a 'white on white' kind of card.

I have a conffession - I don't like to make multi layers scenery cards. I never liked, and I will probably won't make much more cards of this kind.

Having said that, I do like how this card came out LOL.

Not only the circular scene is in layers, also the sentiment was die cut several times to give it dimention and was adhered to the panel using foam tape.

Winter Wonderland - Let is Snow

Thanks - a recipe for neutrals

One of the FAV 

at Tuesday Morning Sketches

On one hand, making cards in neutrals colors can be very challenging. On the other hand, these colors make a very elegant combination. And who doesn't love a card in neutrals colors?!

So I took inspiration from the challenge at As You See It challenge blog, whith a recipe for a neutrals card: to use an embossing folder, a ribbon or a twine, a die or a punch, one sentiment - and all that with neutrals:

I chose to work with the neutrals colors white, vanilla and kraft - for my cs, and brown ink for the sentiment.

I followed the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches #631:

The banners, the feathers and the tag - where cut with dies. The white stitched banner was embossed using dots embossing folder. 

I tied a bow around all the feathers with a jute twine, which also was used to tie a knot on the tag.

A one sentiment 'thanks' was stamped on the tag, and I adhered it beneath the feathers.

It goes also for the 'thanks' challenges at SimonSays Monday challenge, and SimonSays Wednesday challenge.

A CAS good luck card - Color Throwdown meets Freshly Made Sketches

I loved the simplicity of sketch #427 at Freshly Made Skethces:

I went with the color combo at Color Throwdown #585, even though it was a little challenging for me:

For a little extra texture I embossed the white panel. A tiny enamel dot fot the flower center and a sticker for the sentiment witch says, in Hebrew: Good Luck!

I would like to enter this card also for the CAS challenge at Krafty Chicks.

Have you seen my new greeting card box? I'm so proud of myself for making it on my own!

Cards from my Counterfeit kit

Usually, I get to make cards from the leftovers of my Counterfeit kit, but this time I started with cards.

The firtst card was made from the counterfeited paper of the watercolor stripes. To make the paper I used Lindy's products (Silent Night Silver, I'm late, I'm late slate, Tainted Love Teal. for the mustard color I used both flat magical Pineapple Paradise from the Caribbean Cruise Flat magical set, with Bodacious Blush spray)  just added clear stickers:

For the second card I used the counterfeited homes. I used the mustard cs I never thought I'd use it, but it came out quite nice, don't you think? I followed THIS tutorial.

Having used the mustard cs, I took another piece of cs and embossed it using my score board, in a sun rays pattern, following THIS tutorial. This is the third card:

This card is also for the 'Thinking of you' challenge at Simonsays Stamp Wednesday challenge.

The forth card was made from one dp, again I followed a tutorial . I love the elegant look of it:

It also goes for the 'More than one scor + Birthday' challenge at Scor-Pal.

I think it's time for some layouts from this kit....
