Inspire.Create.Challenge #177 | CASE the Designer

 


Good morning and welcome to challenge #177.  This week we are CASEing a design from our very own Karen Farquhar.

As card designers, we get inspiration from all sorts of places and inspiration from other designers is probably very high up on our inspiration list.  I am however amazed how many different variations are created by using one design.

I have created my card using the gorgeous Layers of Beauty masks.


I opted for a curve by using a semi-circle mainly because it works so well with my new favourite embossing folder - Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder (it is huge!).

Now it is your turn to make a card inspired by Karen's beautiful design.  You have until midnight on 2 October to enter the challenge and you can do so by clicking on the link below.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #175 | Sketch Challenge


Good morning everyone.  I first must start by apologising for my absence from my blog of late.  

I must be honest I consciously took some time out to recharge.  I have had so much going on at home and work and I needed some time to step back for a while.  I have also had the not so minor distraction of a family wedding coming up in September so I have been tied up creating stationery, favours, etc etc - you get the gist!  My brain needed a rest!


I am here to share the latest challenge of the Inspire.Create.Challenge team.  This sketch challenge is number 175 and is open until midnight on 4 September.  



I created my card using the Online Exclusive Bundle called Sophisticated Sled.  I loved the imagery and dies in this set so it was my first Christmas purchase for this year!  The DSP I have chosen is the Thoughtful Designs Speciality Designer Series Paper which has the most amazing ombre effects with silver elements.


I do love a sketch, there are so many different ways they can be interpreted and how different they look with different products.


We really want to see your creations.  You can enter the challenge by clicking on the link below where you will also see some more amazing interpretations of the sketch.

Happy Stampin'
