Best Wishes!


G'morning! It is Monday! 
After a very hot day and night, today seems worse. It is muggy and is threatening to rain. Hope it does and cools down!  Anyway, I am playing along Jay Gee's Nook Challenge #24




I choose the ombre colours of the curtains as my inspiration for my card.
Here is my take on the challenge.


I have sponged different colour blue and green inks to get the ombre effect and stamped the image in black. Love how the image stands out. I have added black rhinestone to the center of the flower for added interest.

Thanks for stopping by!
Have a great day!

Jay Gee's Challenge #20


Sharing a card today, I made for Jay Gee's Challenge #20

 
Supplies:
Cardstock: Stampers Select White and Harvest Gold from Papertrey Ink
Stamp set: Distresse Brick from Prima Marketing, Background Builder Lattice and Fotiments from Uniko Studio
Inks: Memento Black Ink, Butterup, Wet Cement from Hero Arts, Aqua Mist from Papertrey Ink

Here is the inspirational picture from Jay Gee's Challenge #20



I have tried to use various elements from the collage. The brick wall, the colours, the lattice.... into my card. I love collage photos. Great inspirations. This one is awesome. Thanks for the challenge.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks!


Jay Gee's Nook has a new challenge on its blog - Challenge #18


Love the collage of pictures but the one that stood out for me is the center picture -the plate setting. 
Wow! the green chevron with the aqua side plate on the beautifully shaped plate. 
So inspired by it, I made my card.


Supplies: 
Cardstock: Stampers Select White, Fine Linen and Hawaiian Shores from PTI
Stamp Sets: Daily Designs and sentiment from PTI, Geo Graphic from Paper Smooches
Inks: Garden Green from SU, Archival Jet Black ink
Accessories: Spellbinders label #4 die, circle punch, rhinestones from Kaisercraft and Bookprint impression plate from PTI

To make my card, I used the latest sketch from Retro Sketches - Sketch #6 .


I flipped the sketch vertically and used the traditional card base instead of a square card base. Love this sketch. So versatile. 

If you like to play along the challenges then I have the linked both of them. Check them out. They are cool and very inspiring :)

Thanks for stopping by!
