Butterfly wave

This my version of a wave card, I love using butterflies on the wave.

I pulled out some stamps from my stash but any that fit would suit.

 I made the card base to fit into an Australia standard postage envelope and adjusted the wave panels to fit. I went stash diving for the butterfly designer paper. The stamped butterflies were coloured to match the background paper. I made this card for a fun butterfly swap. Inspired by Sam Calcutt tutorial.

 

Star gazing

I had a lot of fun, creating this version of a star card.

I watched several tutorials from several sites and they all seem to follow the same pattern.

The base card measures 5x5 inches. For the star panel I cut 6 pieces 1/4 x 5 inches and scored at 1,2,3,4. I attached them to the left side of the card base to create the star. I them cut 12 pieces to size and dry embossed them with a star embossing folder, I then sanded the card to reveal the white core. I the created the mat layers to fit on the right side and stamp and coloured it to match the theme.

 

Flower paper strips

 Hello,

Today I am sharing the card that I have made for a paper strip challenge.

I started with 1cm paper strip scraps in 2 different shades of pink and one of white. Linning them into rows, I then stamped, and heat embossed a background stamp. Attaching the strips to the card base with foam tape adding the die cut flowers, and finally the sentiment. 

Thanks for looking,

Have a great day,

Maryann

Take Time to Celebrate

This is the final CCEE challenge for 2022.

 In fact, it has come to the time that the CCEE Stampers team to hang up their ink pads and stamps, so this will be our last challenge.

 While I have only been on the design team since June 2014, it was a blog that I liked to follow for inspiration since 2009 when I started my own blog. I, in fact did not even know when the original team, started and that it was previously call Cheers & Challenges Eclectic Ensemble.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support of our challenges every week, and I hope you have found some inspiration in our challenges.

Time is counting down to the end of the year, and I so I am asking that your feature clocks on your card. Think of time clocks, stop watches or even a countdown clock anything to do with time.

I created the background using Distress Oxide inks Kitsch Flamingo and broken china, and distress ink wilted violet. sponging it through a stencil. I then used the wood mounted hero arts tag stamp - H4777 Collage Take Time and heat embossed it. I then added the die cut sentiment and numbers.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers have created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs.
