Summer Card Camp 2: Cards #5, 6 & 7 & one from Sage, too

I have a a few cards to share today...

These first two cards were ones I made on Friday to give to Sage & Jonah's swimming instructors (it was their last day of lessons.) I made them both for the 10 minute challenge, but cannot find the photos I took of my times. I know I was successful on both, though, so you'll just have to take my word for it. LOL!

Because their swimming instructors are both teenage boys, I wanted to make the cards more masculine.

This first one is for Sketch #3 and a modification of the colour combo for Week 1. I created my background using PTI cardstock (aqua mist, hawaiian shores, classic kraft.) I stamped the palm trees from WMS My Island in dark chocolate and added a PTI double-ended banner die cut, stamped with a sentiment from My Island (I had to check online to see what it meant, but it does mean thank you.) A couple of buttons finishes it off.

My next card uses the same stamp set, along with Sketch #1 (obviously a favourite of mine this week!) I layered the banner, cut using Melanie Bauer's technique from Day 3, over some Little Yellow Bicycle patterned paper and added some MME enamel dots to finish it off.

And my third card uses Jennifer McGuire's vellum technique from Day 5, Sketch #1, the last colour combo from the Additional Colour Combo list and my new WMS Fancy Feather's set.
I stamped the feathers to create the background and layered a vellum banner over top (once again cut using Melanie Bauer's technique from Day 3).

I stamped the sentiment using A Muse Studio Slate ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I cut out a leftover feather (from Clearly Besotted's Fancy Feathers set) that I had heat embossed on vellum for this card and adhered it to my card. I added some stitching, a button and twine to finish it off.

And lastly, Sage decided to play with my new WMS Fancy Feather's set, too. She stamped the background using the Week 1 colour combo. I helped her stamp the sentiment (from PTI's Movers & Shakers Sentiments) & extra feather onto the vellum and heat emboss them.

Thanks for looking!
