"Neutrals only" colour challenge - Inkspirational Challenges

Hello fellow crafty peeps :)

It is time for a new challenge at Inkspirational Challenges and 

this time we have our colour challenge. 

Are you ready to play along??

The reason for my card is one of those sad ones. 

The little village we live in is more or less a dog village. So many of the families on our street have dogs and this card was made for one of those families. They lost their young dog all too early as it was run over by a car. The accident didn't happen in our little village but it doesn't make it less meaningless. 

We also have a guest designer joining us for this challenge. Pop over to Inkspirational Challenges and see who she is :)

His & Hers Class - Day 3: Sympathy card for Her

I have already posted my sympathy card for Him in the previous blog post and now it is time for Her card.

You might already have guessed that todays theme in class was Sympathy Cards. This is a kind of card which is usually not easy to make. Not because of the action of making the card, but the situation of the receiver of the card. This can be a tough one and I only feel lucky that I actually don't know any in need of such a card.

But that is not an excuse to avoid doing todays homework, so here is my take on a sympathy card for Her. This could actually also go to a couple, mainly because the colours aren't all that girlie.

The trick of using the steem of the flowers as base for the sentiment is nicked from a previous OnlineCardClass. It is such a great idea!

Also clear stamps are so easy to work with. It is so great that you can bend the clear stamps to follow a curved line, which I have done here. 

The flowers are coloured with Promarker pens. I must admit that I have not spend any time trying to make shading in the flowers. This is just a very quick colouring. To finalize the card I have used a white Signo pen to make little dots in the center of the flowers, which I find bring out the flowers more.

Thanks for taking a look. If you are a fellow student, I hope you are enjoying this class as much as I :o)

His & Hers Class - Day 3: Sympathy Card for Him

It is already day 3 of class - oh boy, how time flies by when you are having fun and is deeply absorbed in a creative world :o)

Today was about sympathy cards for both her and him. These kinds of cards can be pretty hard to make and mostly because of the situation of the receiver of the card.

Our homework was to creative a sympathy card and this is my card for "Him".

I keept the design very simple and used only clean lines. Not anything fuzzy of any kind! The only embellishment I have choosen or this card are two old buttons from my stash.

In our His & Hers Chart many of us has put down geometric shapes & patterns as suitable for a His card. I therefore used the Hero Arts Hexagon background stamp for this card. To give the card some texture (another on the His Chart) I've heat embossed the pattern with white embossing powder. I find that it gives a nice contrast. 

This card is based on sketch #9 from the Less is More challenge in which I am participating with this card.
