Creative Crew - Month 2

Here are some of the projects I made for my design team work for the Creative Crew challenge on Splitcoast this month.

Thanks a Million music notes

 

I embossed the music notes with white, then punched out a hole with decorative label punch and put the sentiment behind.  The blue music piece is popped up.

 

The colors are: white, island indigo, more mustard, sahara sand

2 for 2

I'm home on a sick day with my son, so I have some time to make cards!!  (I'm not neglecting him, he's feeling mostly better now and playing happily!)

I took two challenges - color challenge and a layout and made 2 different cards with some of the same elements.  The color challenge is from Splitcoast from last week - more mustard, old olive and midnight must (I also used very vanilla).
The layout is from Retrosketches.  I made one vertical and one horizontal.

  I made this one to be a male birthday card.  I used chevron embossing and a glimmer brad.  See how I cut the framelit shape (green) to be only behind the top half.

 For this one I embossed with pewter the music notes in the background.  The flower is 3 layers cut out and popped up on each other.  I embossed on the flag strips and also used my new Simply Scored plate for some scoring patterns on the bottom of the card.  Added two buttons to finish it off.

Heart Music for Queen

I made this card for our Queen for the Day Challenge.  Click on the link to find all the details.

I embossed the big heart image with PEWTER!  Then I wheeled the music, then I added some color and blended with blender pens.  The edges are ripped and I added some silver paper and a ribbon.  The sentiment oval is popped up.

Sponging poppies to music

Playing with some new stuff!  I made this card for the Queen for the Day Challenge that I host.

 

First I wheeled the music notes in blue (I was not precise and some of the notes are very faded looking - on purpose).

Next, I stamped my new Pleasant Poppies background stamp with versamark and embossed with PEWTER!

Then I sponged, then I crumpled, the sponged some more!

Added ribbon and brads.

I'm quite pleased with my first Pleasant Poppies card.  Looking forward to using this stamp set often, it is so versatile!

 

Here's the closeup.  I took this picture at night time and so the lighting is not good.
