Pals Paper Arts # 96 - Masculine - Road Rider

Hi There,
Today's post is for the Pals Paper Arts Colour Challenge this week featuring Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, More Mustard and a Masculine theme.  My first thoughts were a Sea/Boating theme but I went with the Motorcycle, haven't used this stamp a lot, made an Easel Card with the Top Note Die.  I used Shimmer Paint on the Chrome parts of the bike, but it doesn't show in my photo.

This card was awarded a Top Pick at Pals Paper Arts.

The Paper Players Sketch Challenge #44 - Poppies

Hi there,
Today's post is for this weeks challenge at The Paper Players.  The sketch has a bit of a twist to it with the main image split with a diagonal piece covering it. I would usually put this strip behind the image as I built the card.  So I designed a fairly simple card masking the poppies as I stamped. I wanted to add more embellishments..... but decided not to.  I always think Black, White and Red make a stunning card and I love these colours together.

This card was awarded the Cut Above Badge from The Paper Players.

Supplies:

Stamps: Flourishes Poppy Patch Set #35, S/U's Teeny Tiny Sentiments, En Francais BG

Card: Real Red, Whisper White, Basic Black

Ink:  Stazon Black, Real Red, Mellow Moss

Embellishments: White Satin Ribbon

Tools: Scallop Edge Punch, Curly Label Punch, Dimensionals, Dble Sided Tape

Thanks for calling in today.
