This week at the Friday Mashup Kim brings us a great challenge in the form of a Gatefold card with the Mashup option of using numbers. So here's all you need to do...

1. Create a card that uses a "Gatefold" .
2. Create a card that uses "Numbers". (stamped, die cut, chip board etc)
3. or "Mash it Up!" and create a "Gatefold Card using Numbers"!

I chose to only do the Gatefold card and started playing around wtih a few stamp sets and some embossing powder and sponges and ink and well, here's the result.

The colours I've used here are So Saffron, Concord Crush, Wisteria Wonder and Whisper White.  I really like the soft yellow mixed with the purples.  Here's the inside of the gate card.  The front panels continue on and then there is a centre panel for that special hand written message.

The ribbon wraps all the way around the card and ties in a bow at the front to keep the card closed.  Hope you are inspired by my card and the ones created by the rest of the Design Team over at the Friday Mashup.  

Unscripted Vintage

Thank you to the  DT @ Unsctipted Sketches for selecting my creation amonst the top 3!  in this challenge.  Doing a little happy dance!

Hello blog friends, I've put together an entry for the Unscripted Sketches challenge # 121 as I found it to be quite interesting. 

I've used 6 punches to put the label together, it just sort of grew and grew as I was playing....LOL

I've also been playing around lately with some collage of images, some embossed and others just stamped, Here's what I ended up with for this challenge,  I've used the colours from a challenge at the Colour Throwdown....but in my usual style.....I've missed the deadline...LOL  

This is supposed to be Perfect Plum, but somehow my camera doesn't think so.  I've also used Crumb Cake and So Saffron.

Birthday wishes

It's Kim's birthday and to celebrate over at the Friday Mashup we're having a birthday party for Kim so make up your fabulous birthday projects if you want you can use Kim's colour challenge as well and post your entries to be in the running for Rock Star and Glamette picks.

I've done a shameless CASE of a card I saw that the lovely Chrissy had done called Shades of Blue, I loved it so much that I just had to copy it, I make a few changes though to add my style to her beautiful idea.  I've made it a bit more vintage as that's the way it seemed to go for me.

Head on over to the Friday Mashup blog to see what other fabulous creations are awaiting your viewing pleasure!

Cheers,

Friday Mashup # 10 sends warm fuzzies your way

Hello and welcome to a new Friday Mashup challenge combo.   This week Kim is helping us all feel better with her Get Well and add something warm and fuzzy to your creations.  (I certainly need that, I caught a horrible cold including the sinus infection....ewww)

This week for the Mashup Challenge, you are welcome to:

       1. Create a project with soft texture... fabric, felt, even cotton balls (ribbon doesn't count!) 

       2. Create a Get Well Project.

       3. Or "Mash it Up!" and create a Get Well project using a Soft Texture!

I have chosen to do a Get Well card to inspire you this week.

 

My colour combo is a rather neglected Bravo Burgundy, River Rock and Shimmery White,  I've embossed the Bliss flowers and the sentiment in Gold and used a gelly roll pen to put little champagne gold highlights through the image stamped on the background and around the edge of the river rock layer.  Add one gold embosslit butterfly and a few rhinestones and its done!
