Versatile Card for Pals Paper Arts PPA153

This card is made for this lovely February sketch from Pals Paper Arts

The plum colored card is embossed with 2 Sizzix folders,

with this lovely leftover ribbon from my stash.

The scalloped circles and classic circle in contrasting colors,

and a little label tag tied with Maya Road twine

with space for a handwritten message

like Thanks or Love or Friends.

 

Congratulations ~ MOJO259 with 365-205 Colors

I almost missed this week's Mojo Monday Challenge MOJO259

because I did not see the blog posting on Tuesday.

Fortunately I realised it this afternoon and quickly looked it up.

I used 365 Cards Day 205 Color Scheme on this parchment card.

 

When I saw the sketch, I immediately thought of a rainbow.

So I turned the sketch to landscape with the arch on top like a bridge.

The dark grey, green and camel cream papers are from DCWV Cardstock stack.

The light grey "mound" is cut from a Maya Road half circle chipboard.

The Spellbinders Butterfly is cut off from a shoe box I recycled a while back.

Positioned pearls (2 sizes) over the arch and on the butterfly.

The sentiment "Congratulations" is from Hero Arts Everyday Messages.

Left the rest of the card clean and clear.

Not feeling too happy about the card which does not stand out on parchment paper,
I decided to tweak the card to make the contents stand out better.
Layered a white parchment paper on grey DCWV cardstock.
The white card is embossed with Sizzix Polka Dot embossing folder
while the green labels are the reverse of Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots.

365 Cards Day 190 ~ Animated

Got any favorite animated characters?

I found this delightful Tigger from my sons' old collection of Disney stickers.

He is jumping for joy amongst falling autumn leaves and having a Tigger-ific time.

I used Sizzix Flowers Embossing Folder on the white card.

Cut a panel of dark brown card and a narrower white one.

Stamped the autumn leaves using Hero Arts leaf stamp.

Tied a strand of Maya Road Twine on the side.

Mounted Tigger which was glued to a white card and cut out.

The card follows Freshly Made Sketches #51 (FMS51) again.

This card is also submitted for CAS-ual Fridays CFC69 ~ Embossing.
