Another Cityscape

Hi All

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was another busy one for me with work and a Christening on Sunday for my god daughter Edie.

Anyways, onto another cityscape which I am sharing with you. I used the same stamps as before, mainly from Build A Birthday and a few from Age Awareness, to create the scenery. I wanted a panoramic window view so I used dimensionals to raise the top and bottom card strips. The brick wall embossing folder would look great with this or for next time I can construct a few window panels.

I am also entering this card to the following challenges:

Crafting from the Heart - 68 Anything Goes

Craft Your Passion Challenges - 270 Anything Goes

Creative Moments - 72 Anything Goes/Monochromatic

Creative Fingers Challenge Blog - 87 Anything Goes

Sister Act Card Challenge - 114 Anything Goes

Any suggestions on what sentiments I could use for a card like this?

Thank you for looking and happy crafting.

Card Class Projects

Hi All

We had our 2nd class today at Basingstoke Sea Cadets and Community Centre so I would like to share the projects we worked on using Build A Birthday and Butterfly Basics stamp sets.

The cityscape is created by using the edge of the stamp pad and only inking parts of the stamps. You can also use the masking technique to achieve the same results. I thought the scenery would look great as a 'polaroid picture' which is why the measurement of the Very Vanilla card is 10cmx13.5cm.

Excuse the ink marks as the card fell straight on top of the ink pad during class! It's a quick and simple male card which is CASEd from our last team training with Queen Pip. By using torn paper to mask the top and bottom edges, the images looks like Washi Tape or you can use actual washi tape for an even quicker card.

The wire mesh and fern were stamped for the background before the main floral image which was then coloured using Stampin' Markers. The mats on the picture is Lost Lagoon but the ladies used Mint Macaron on the day to match the lovely Dotted Lace Trim. The Triple Banner punch was also used for the sentiment.

We prepared a 4th project which was Barry's swap for Telford but we ran out of time so Barry talked through the card and how to build up the scene.

Hopefully the ladies enjoyed the class as much as we did. What do you think of our projects?

Thanks for stopping by

Barry & Jay
