Friday Mashup by me!

Welcome to a new Friday Mashup Challenge,  Kasey here bringing you challenge # 46, thanks Holly for the byline on the graphic!  

I've come up with a fairly simple sketch and your challenge is to use the sketch and or mash it up by going Vintage or Shabby Chic. 

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :

1. Make a project using the "Sketch".  
2. Or Make a  "Shabby Chic / Vintage" project.  
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Shabby Chic/Vintage project using the Sketch".

We have been so excited by the growth of entries the Friday Mashup challenge has been getting each week, it's lovely to know our challenges get you thinking and creating so thank you for playing along with us each week,  we love seeing what you create.

As I'm a huge fan of Shabby Chic and Vintage, I've gone down that path and I've even turned my sketch on its side!  Just check out the fabulous projects from the very talented Friday Mashup DT.  WOW!  

For my card, I've used SU cardstock Bravo Burgundy and Naturals Ivory.  I found some velvet ribbon in my stash and added some eyelet style lace with some burgundy cord threaded through it to make my 'corners'.  Lots of lovely paper roses and some distressing ink and one of my favourite SU stamp sets Sense of Time, Victorian embossing folder and frame a bit of sponging and voila....Shabby Chic/Vintage is complete.

 I also created a CAS card using the sketch, I did use Vintage Vogue so that could count as the mashup!

For this card, I've used SU cardstock Very Vanilla and Island Indigo then stamped up some small Vintage Vogue flowers in Rich Razzleberry, two stamped dark and four stamped off first to give a softer colour.  Add a swirl underneath to make the 'corners' and a few pearls and a beautiful sentiment from a long retired SU Hostess set.

Now it's your turn, I can't wait to see what you all create.  Come on lets go for a record number of entries.....oh hang on that will make it super hard to choose a Rock Star!  Oh never mind, I'll cope, create away my blogging lovlies.


Cheers,

Just for Me

Those of you who stop by often and those of you who know me well, will realise that I've not been using MY colours a lot lately, I've been letting myself be taken out of my comfort zone and have been participating in a lot of challenges. Well this afternoon I went into the craft room to unwind after a pretty hectic day at work and checked out the list of challenges that I'd printed out and nothing jumped out and said make me! make me!

Gosh, was my mojo taking a nose dive? ...Not at all, I'm very pleased to say.

I took a look around (at the rather large stash) and spotted the Presto Patterns Specialty papers (they are in the current Mini catalogue) and thought hmmmm I'll just have a little play with those, so I cut a large circle and went to work with some water colouring over the images, If you haven't seen these papers, they are white with white embossed images on them, I chose to sponge ink over the embossing after water colouring as this really made the pattern stand out.

I used Bella Toile background stamp on whisper white, as this matches the paper beautifully, I stamped the ink off twice so I ended up with the soft images again I sponged ink over the images to soften the whole look....it seemed to have this ole worlde look happening so one thing led to another and this is the finished card.



I have to say it is SOOOOOOO good using my pinks, plums & purples again.....*sigh* sheer bliss......and I love how this one turned out.

Thanks for stopping by to say hello.

Happy Crafting!

Cheers,
Kasey
