CAL-Card Concept #4-Himalayan blue poppies & CAS(E) this sketch #65


Hi there!  It seems to be the week for poppies over at my two favourite card challenge sites...
I did not see anything else at the moment to stamp my card for the two challenges that I am entering this card into, just not using my own imagination for interpreting differently, but I do like this Clean and Layered card that I made for the Card Concept challenge #4 and CTS # 65 with an older Magenta poppy stamp and a fern frond from K and Co. that I stamped and cut out.  The poppies were stamped onto a card stock weight velum from PTI in black craft ink and then heat embossed with black and I cut out, replacing the stems with some that I free hand cut out of PTI Limeade Ice CS.  I coloured the back of the stamped/embossed poppies with a blue Sharpie.  The colour on velum looks very close to SU Baja Blue and that is what I used under my floating white panel.  The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.  This was also black craft ink and heat embossed onto a parchment velum and I trimmed to look like a thin banner.  The little Mason jars are from Unity and I stamped in white PTI Fresh Snow and heat embossed with SU Tempting Turquoise powder onto the same heavy weight velum and then I trimmed out.  The backs of the mason jars are also coloured with a Copic.  To give a little base weight, I stamped a PTI border with Baja Blue ink.  So, as you can see, I used this sketch quite literally and for the Card Concept theme, to use florals, I also used the poppies for inspiration, just a different colour theme.
Hope that you are having a fun day and getting some crafting in!  Thanks for stopping by!

It's a MoxieFab gift card holder for the graduate!

 Hi there!  Hope that Spring has sprung in your neck of the woods...it already feels like Summer here...not complaining, but it has been a little humid for yard and garden work.  I will deal with that anytime over snow...just saying;)
I made this card with gift card holder inside for the MoxieFab challenge going on here.  With graduation-moving on season almost here, I know a certain someone that deserves a card and gift.
I have had these patterned papers for several years and I still love the contemporary design and ease of using together, especially for a male.  I don't often create masculine cards, so here is something a little out of my comfort zone.  I used the card positioning Systems sketch, #214 to combine these two challenges. I did some stitching on the top front of the card, just above this great Hugo quote, a Unity stamp.  More stitching on the triangular pices and across the narrow strip.
Here is the inside of the card.  The left hand side is finished with the large contemporary polka dot gray and cream paper (rounded the corners) and I made the gift card holder (the GC to be placed vertically) with a PaperTreyInk die for a library card pocket in the complimentary Chevron pattern.
That's it for now...have a wonderful day!
