Hi Everyone!
We have a new challenge at AAA Cards and it is a photo inspiration (we don’t do those very often)! There is a $20 gift certificate to Happy Little Stampers from our kind sponsors for the winner of the challenge so be sure to hop on over and enter.
For my card this week I kept it super simple, and it was so quick and easy I made two! I found some amazing rainbow patterned paper from a lonnnng ago Simon Says Stamp card kit that matched the colors of the photo. I then die cut it with shape dies – for the first card I used Mama Elephant’s City Scape.
I used the Cuttle Bug Swiss Dots embossing folder to emboss the card base (Neenah Solar White 100lb cardstock) as I thought this would replicate the dots on the paper. I then adhered the die cut to the base with liquid adhesive and trimmed off the ends. I adhered a sticker sentiment to finish!
For my second card I did the same thing, but used the AWESOME WRMK Next Level Wave embossing folder. I die cut the paper using Papertrey Ink’s Sketched Stars and adhered them with liquid adhesive, trimming the edges where they overhung.
The sentiment is from Altenew’s Label Love stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink and trimmed out. I popped it up on foam squares to finish.
I do hope you’ll join us over at AAA. Remember to keep your cards CLEAN and SIMPLE (CAS) – and be sure to check out what the awesome Design Team came up with for some inspiration 🙂
Have a fabulous weekend

Cool cards Jenny. I cityscape cards and I really like how you used the base cards to reflect the polka dots x
Lovely cards, Jenny. Both and gorgeous – CAS perfection in my book. Lots of white space and rainbows……ahhhhhh! Beautiful photography as well.
2 fantastic cards Jenny, loved your superb multi coloured skyline as soon as I saw it but now can't decide which I like best. I looooovvvvve those WRMK embossing folders and this works a treat with the multi stars on top. Great ideas and takes on the photo inspiration. Sarah
Ooooooo Jenny! I love the vertical scallop in the paper you used for the cityscape, and the swiss dotted embossing was a great idea. Fantastic. Also love the second card. I am always a lover of anything with stars. I love the label sentiment,and that embossed background adds wonderful texture!!! Love not of these!!
LOL – I mean BOTH of these, of course!
These are fabulous! I just can't get enough of how the colours just pop on the white base.
Fabulous card, I love how you've used this die with the rainbow colours – inspired!
Such gorgeous cards! I love the textured backgrounds!
