Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge(FTTC64)!

 Timeless Tuesday New Logo

It is time for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge (FTTC64)!  It is the end of the month so we have a challenge hostess!  This week Karen Wallace is our host! Thanks so much for hosting with us Karen!   Karen is challenging us to vintage styled cards!  Everyone sort of has in their own minds what vintage means to them, so without giving you any direction, just create a card that defines a vintage style to you!  We would love to see what you create! 

Also, just wanted to remind everyone that while each FTTC challenge has a weekly winner, we also draw a monthly winner from all of the FTTC for that month.  So, if there was a challenge in April you still would like to participate in, there is still a chance to win!  You can play as often as you like!  Check out FTTC61, FTTC62, and FTTC63! The weekly and monthly winners will be announced next week!
Let’s go see what Karen’s vintage creation!

 

KarenWallace
Karen is using the new released Around the Arbor    and A Year in Flowers 2 stamp sets!  Karen stamped the arbor several times to create the solid focal point arbor for the background.  She added layered spellbinder’s  nestabilities and the cut out rose from the A Year in Flowers 2 stamp set.  She colored the images with Flourishes Copic Color Collections.  She finished with some satin ribbon and  pearl accents!  Beautifully done, Karen! Check out Karen’s blog  for more details!  Also, check out the other blog team designers to see their vintage styled creations!!

It is the end of the month and time for a guest challenge designer! This week our challenge host is Pat Adam. Thanks so much hosting with us, Pat! And here is Pat’s challenge written in her on words. “For this week’s challenge be inspired by the letter P. Sounds a bit crazy, but not really if you think about it for a bit. I’m thinking pink, pearls, poppies, purple, punches, and piercing. Do you get the picture? Sure you do so let’s get moving and make those perfectly pretty and positively pleasing presentations. Don’t think you’ve been challenged in this way before, so I will be excited to see how you all do.” Pat

Let’s check out what Pat Adam created for us with the inspired by the letter “P” challenge! Pat is using the Poppy Patch and Gerber Daisy stamp sets. She is using soft pink cardstock and patterned paper. I just love the wonderful poppy arrangement Pat stamped. She colored her poppies using soft colors of pinks from the Flourishes Copic Color Collection. She used different Spellbinder’s die cuts to give added detailing to her focal image. She finished her card with a beautiful pink satin ribbon bow and accented with pearls! Please check out her blog for more card details!

It is the last Tuesday of the month and we have a guess challenge host for you. This month our challenge host is Carol Lee. Please give her a warm welcome! We are so thrilled to have Carol host with us. Carol is challenging us to themed cards. Since this week we celebrate Thanksgiving as well as kick off the Christmas Season, Carol is challenging us to Thank You and/or Christmas themed cards. You can choose one theme or create one of each. Or like many, you may need to finish up a few Christmas cards in time for mailing next week. Whichever you choose, we look forward to seeing what you create! Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

Let’s see what Carol Lee has created using the themed challenge! Carol chose to create a Christmas themed card. She is using Flourishes Forrest of Trees and the Basketweave background sets. Carol is using some Basicgray Indian Summer dp. Carol stamped the basketweave with razzleberry ink to make it pop on the dark pink solid paper from the dp pack. She stamped the tree and embossed with a woodland white ep. She add some tinsel glitter to give the tree some extra sparkle. Carol finished her Christmas card with some satin burgandy ribbon! Gorgeous Christmas card, Carol! Beautifully done!

It is the last Tuesday of the month so we have a guest challenge host this week. Our challenge host is Kathy Jones(Wattle) all the way from Australia. Please give Kathy a warm welcome! Thanks so much, Kathy for hosting a challenge with us. Kathy is challenging us to use border punches or borderabilities. You decide if you want to use just one border, mix different patterns, or layer several for a fanciful look. Whatever you decide, we would love to see what you create! Have fun with this one! The skies the limit!

Let’s see what Kathy Jones created using borders! She is using Flourishes Gerbera Daisy set. She colored the daisies using Flourishes Copic Color Collections in Crocus. Kathy cut out the entire arrangement and popped it up on a textured oval center. She then layered that with the Spellbinders label 5. I love all the beautiful cut work detailing and dimension. Kathy accented the whole arrangement with fleur de lis punch border frames. She finished her gorgeous card with some kaiser pearls. Beautifully done, Kathy!!!

It is the last Tuesday of the month so we have a Guest Challenge Host for you. Please welcome Francie Gumprecht(Francie G) as our guest challenge host! Welcome Francie and thanks so much for hosting with us! Francie is challenging us to extend our creations outside the frame. Whether your want to make a dimensional piece or use subtle cut lines, the look is to go beyond the frame you choose for your card. We cannot wait to see what you create!!!

Let’s go see what the blog design team created for you going outside the frame this week.

Up first is our challenge host, Francie Gumprecht. Francie is using Cottage Home stamp set. Francie used a spellbinders classic frame. Next, she stamped the cottage home scenic image
using momento tuxedo black ink onto Flourishes Classic White Cardstock twice. She colored using Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Hydrangea and Spring Greens. She cut out sections of the scene and adhered on top of the frame die cut to extend it beyond the frame. She added some flower soft detailing and kaiser pearls to finish her card. Beautifully done, Francie. Lovely card!!!

Next up is Silke Ledlow. Silke is using the Strawberries stamp set. Silke is using Flourishes Classic White cardstock and colored the strawberries and flowers using Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Buttercup, Poppy, and Fields. Silke stamped the strawberries twice using momento tuxedo black ink and cut out portions and adhered it to extend over the top of her receased die cut frame. She finished with three rows of red gingham and some silver pearls. Gorgeous colors and dimension, Silke!!! Beautifully done!!!

Up next is is Betty Wright. I am using the All that Glitters and Sleigh Ride sets. I stamped the ornaments and greenery using Momento tuxedo black ink onto Flourishes classic ivory cardstock. I colored using Flourishes Copic Color Collections in Dusty Rose, Poppy, and Water. I used versamark and clear embossed the ornaments before I cut out to adhere on top and off of the edge of the oval frame to give them some depth and shine. I am using spellbinders flourish impressabilities for background textures, label eight, and label six die cuts. I finished my card with some sheer ribbon and red kaiser pearls.

Cindy Haffner is next. Cindy is using the newly released Falling Leaves set. Cindy has combined sever spellbinder die cuts and pendants to create a layered frame with the sentiment and leaf coming out of the frames. Cindy is using Flourishes Classic White Cardstock and colored her image using Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Spring Greens and Fields. Wonderful shape card and I love the touch of sparkle detailing on the leaf. Beautifully done, Cindy!!!

Last up this week is Dee Jackson. Dee is using the Cherries and Peaches, Life, Love, and Lemons, and the Basketweave stamp sets. Dee is using Spellbinders label one die cut. Dee stamped the peaches using Momento black tuxedo ink onto Flourishes Classic White Cardstock She colored using Flourishes Copic Color Collection in Tiger Lily and Evergreen. She cut out the entire image and adhered to the top of the inset framed panel so the peaches extend beyond the frame. Gorgeous colors and fabulous card, Dee!!! Wonderfully done.
