Welcome to Funday Friday Challenge #49 over at  Jo's Scrap Shack

This week we want you to think a little out of the box and make a shaped card - lots of great inspiration by the design team over at Jo's.

This week's sponsors are Bugaboo and Abusybee  

I used the fabulous digital image Clyde Made with Love.

My image has been coloured with copic markers .  I then used watercolours to fill in my background.  I have just recently started to use this medium - not bad for the beginnings of something new.  I used a piece of scrap I had from a previous project for the card front. Both the card front and the image were die cut with a QuicKuts nesting scallops die.  I just put the card front through halfway in my Cuttlebug.

I hope you join in with us - Come on get creative.

Welcome to another Funday Friday Challenge over at  Jo's Scrap Shack

Our challenge this week is to be inspired by this beautiful photo to create a card, layout or altered project.

The challenge will be open
 Friday June 7th  @ 12am USA Central time until
 Friday June 14th @ 6pm USA Central time

The Top 3 will earn a Funday Friday Top 3 Badge. 

All Top 3 winners will earn an entry into the monthly drawing which will be announced at the end of June.  Pop on over to Jo's Scrap Shack to link your creation via the linky tool. 

Winners will be announced Monday June 17th at Jo's Scrap Shack . 

I'm excited to see what you create with this photo!

My first inspiration came from the geometry of the side table, so I have matted different areas of my card.  My base is white card stock with the first layer of yellow paper. 

The next inspiration comes from the padded room divider.  I embossed some yellow paper using a Fiskars texture plate "Bubbles".  I then rubbed the raised area with Stampin Up Encore gold ink. This piece was then matted with black card. The sentiment stamp comes from Close to My Heart - "For Every Occasion".

I was next inspired by the black and yellow throw pillow.  I  stamped the flowers from Darkroom Door's "Full Bloom Vol 2" onto my piece of yellow scrap.  I then inked the edges and matted it onto black CS.  This was then mounted on foam tape and positioned on the card front.

My simple card is going to be used as a sympathy card for a family friends who lost their sister in a tragic accident recently.

This weeks challenge with Joann @ Jo's Scrap Shack is to use the colours grey blue and to use embossing.  I made a Mothers Day card for my awesome Mum.  I used black cardstock for my base which I folded and embossed using the Honeycomb Textured Impressions embossing folder from Stampin Up.  I then rubbed the raised areas using Colonial White ink from CTMH.

I then embossed a number of blue and grey pattern paper scraps and cut them out to fit inside the hexagons creating the flower pattern.  I then used some grey ribbon to form the stems and leaves and stamped the sentiment and the lips.

The card is very different from my initial vision and I am yet to decide whether I like it or not.  The important thing is Mum loved it and in the end that is all that matters.

Thanks for stopping by.

This weeks challenge with Joann @ Jo's Scrap Shack is to use an oversized title.

I just had to use these gorgeous photos of my little niece (and soon to be god-daughter) Alexandra Jade. Looking at the photos I thought she was so delicious I could eat her so "Miss Delicious" seemed the perfect title. I recently won this set of Delish Bikkies chipboard letters that were the perfect size. I initially covered the letters M & D with glass beads but I didn't like the look of them. So I painted over them and the other letters with acrylic paint. The colour was a mixture of cobalt and snow white. My pattered papers were from Stampin' Up.

One of my recent purchases was the Mini Rolled Roses Die from Die-namics so I cut and rolled roses from my scraps. I probably went a little overboard with Rose creating but I quite like how they were used in the end. I also used a large daisy I had in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon.

My next challenge with Joann @ Jo's Scrap Shack is to be inspired and create a project with stencils and stamps.

I had a busy week with life and nightshift getting in the way and I had sprayed a couple of stencils with a variety of glimmer mists onto some white 12x12 CS and that sat there waiting for further inspiration or time.... Fast forward a week and I am away with some girls for a cropping weekend and one of the mini challenges was to make a name badge. So I have whipped out my stencil sprayed sheet and cut out a section for the name badge (you can see a flower and a dragonfly) and then I stamped the lace border with a new stamp set that I arrived from Unity last week called "Straight Laced". I finished it off with a paper flower and a yellow baby brad attached to the plastic cover of the name badge.

This weeks challenge with Joann @ Jo's Scrap Shack is to use a window on a card with embossing and a ribbon.

I decided to dust off my Klic N Kut machine to cut the window in my card. I found a wonderful free file "Gothic Window 4" amongst many wonderful free files in a variety of file types over at Monica's Creative Room. I know I am going to go back there for more files. So intricate and they cut beautifully. I cut the whole window on black card stock and the center of the window out of my card base.

I then embossed the front of the card in my cuttlebug with my Sizzix for Stampin Up "Textured Impressions Square Lattice folder. I lined the windows up without adhering and I placed the negative of the black cardstock over the top to mask off the area. Removing my gothic window I then sponged the area with yellow and orange ink so it becomes the stained glass around the edge once the window is adhered which I did next after spraying the back with adhesive. I edged the front with a copic maker.

Next I cut a piece of plastic large enough to adhere across the window opening. I then stamped my image from Close To My Heart - "Angelic Blessings" Set on to the plastic and coloured the opposite side with copic markers. After adhering it behind the window opening I placed an insert into the card and tied my purple organza ribbon along the fold. Thanks for stopping by.

I look forward to seeing you next week for our next challenge to use stamps and stencils.

This weeks challenge with Joann @ Jo's Scrap Shack was to follow the Mojo Monday Sketch 281 with the addition of two buttons.

I started with black cardstock and stamped the flowers from an old Stampin Up set with Versamark. I then colored over them with perfect pearls. I outlined the flowers with a white gel pen and then fussy cut them out. Then I stamped "Giving it All Meaning" from The Unity Stamp Company in CTMH white daisy ink. To create the background. I then cut out the background slightly smaller than my black card base and inked around the edge.

Then I attached my ribbon from my stash and two small buttons onto my ribbon. I finished it off by arranging my flowers and popping them up at different levels to give some dimension.

Lastly I drew in stitching with my white gel pen.


I plan to enter my card into the Mojo Monday challenge and Unity's Friends with Flair on Friday.


Keep tuned for our next challenge where we are going to be inspired by this month's color inspiration for the February {be inspired} Unity challenge
