24 Hour Blueprints

Welcome to the 3rd edition of 24 Hour Blueprints.  This is another brainchild of Kelly and I think it might be our 8th challenge between the three of us--Kelly, Jeanette and me!  Yes, we have agreed to try another type of fun challenge.  Pretty soon my blog will be full of challenges with the three of us!!!!!!

So--how does 24 Hour Blueprint work? 

1--We each have 24 hours to make your card(s),  We post the following morning of the hostess's mysterious challenge.

2--Hostesses will announce the number of card(s) 24 hours before the challenge - not 2 days before or 20 minutes before ... you get 24 hours and that's. it! 

3--Hostesses can chose up to 4 mysterious blueprints but they must be made in under an hour - so nothing FANCY SCHMANCY!

4--Hostesses give us ONLY the specs for the card requirements (blueprints) and what EACH layer should be. The stamps/colors/papers used may vary per player.  You may say A2 card bases or slimline, 1 base layer DSP, 3 heart and 1 circle for card #1 yadda yadda!  Each card must have it's own blueprint so please give a description for each!

5--We use any stamp and/or company.   It's open to interpretation. 

6--We are going to post every other month--dates to be determined each month.  

Jeanette is up for our third round and sent us the blueprints this morning.

Theme--It's Seasonal: Choose a different for each of your three cards.

Color Palette:  You have the freedom to use colors indicative of the season on each card-but please use at least a bit of black on each of the cards.

Sketch #1 is a Halloween Card:

For this sketch, I picked a fun Stampabilities wood mounted stamp that is very old called Flying Witch.  The sentiment is from Stamp Antonio Arts called Witchy Wishes.  The patterned paper is from a Kaisercraft 6x6 pack called 13th hour.  I added a black glitter bat in the corner. And--there is lots of black on this card.

Here is the inside of this card:

Now on to Sketch #2, with a Christmas or Winter theme:

This time, I picked a fun Avery Elle set called Christmas Critters and it comes with matching dies!  The image was colored with my Copic Sketch Markers and then die cut.  The sentiment is from the same set.  I added a fun brad on the sentiment strip.  The background paper and green buffalo plaid strip is from Stampin' Up called Merry Little Christmas.  The corners of the sketch were rounded, so mine are too.  There is lots of black on this card!

Here is the inside of my card:

And the final card, sketch #3

For Sketch 3, I went with a spring theme.  I used a cute stamp set from Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps called Spring Tulips.  The sentiment is from the same set nd that is layered on black cardstock.   I colored the tulips with my Copic Sketch Markers and die cut the image with a Gina Marie Ball and Chain Circle Die.  The colorful patterned paper is from Peebles called Petunia. The   A few colorful enamel dots complete this card.  

Here is the inside of my card:

Here are all three of the seasonal cards, with back on each one!

This was a great challenge and I loved it very much!  Please be sure to check out the other 24 Hour Blueprints cards.  Here is a link to Jeanette's and Kelly's blogs. I am sure you will enjoy checking out what each of them have created in the past 24 hours!

So--yesterday morning, I sent an email with the following information:

I love Christmas and found some fun and pretty simple sketches!

For Sketch #1, I picked a fun Whipper Snapper Designs Gifts From Santa. I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and added some Lawn Fawn Chunky Prisma Glitter on the fur on his hat and sleeve. The patterned paper pieces are from Pebbles Welcome Christmas called Merry Christmas.  The colors used on this card are Evening Evergreen and Real Red.  A few green enamel dots are the final touch.

Now on to Sketch #2.

This time, I picked two older wooden stamps.  The image is from PSX called Six Pt Snowflake and the sentiment is from Great Impressions. I silver embossing powder on both of these.  The background paper are from The Paper Cut.  One is called Blast Holographic and the other is Silver Mirri Sparkle.  The cardstock Gorgeous Grape.  I added to purple enamel dots along the strip of Holographic paper.

And the final card:

For Sketch 3, I used another wood mounted image from Stampabilities called Whimsy Santa. The sentiment is from Hero Arts, also wood mounted.  Santa was colored with my Copic Sketch Markers and I added some black gel pen on his boots, gloves and belt. It does not show up well at all in the picture.  I also added Wink of Stella on the fur on his Santa suit and hat--again, it does sparkle in real life! The fun patterned paper is Stampin' Up's Merry Moments Designer Series Paper. I used Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive on this card.  A few green enamel dots complete this card.

So--yesterday morning, we had an email from Kelly with the following attachment:

I love the sketches she sent and such a fun theme--Summer Fun!

For Sketch #1, I picked a fun Whipper Snapper Designs stamp called Haagen-Daz Bear.  I think this shouts summer!  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and die cut it with The Ton Couture Cuts Double Stitched Circle.  I used two colors of washi tape for the strip on the side of the circle.  The patterned papers are from the American Crafts Summer line called Sweet Treats.  I added some glossy accents on the 4 scoops of ice cream-or sherbet.  From the bottom-Orange Sherbet, Chocolate, Mint Chip, Strawberry, topped with hard chocolate and a cherry on top!

Here is the inside of that card:

Now on to Sketch #2.

For this one, I made a square card in order to try to get all of the components from the sketch placed on it.  I still used a bit of liberty with it.............  This time, I picked Hero Arts Polka Dot Vase Bouquet.  I have had this wooden stamp for a long time and is one of my favorite floral images.  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and used the necessary pink, orange and green! The Sweet die cut is from Birch Press and the backer is vellum.  The background paper is from the same American Crafts line and is the backside that looks wood grained.  I used my Stampin' Up Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder for the pink strip at the bottom.  An orange flower is the added touch and I added a few yellow enamel dots to match the center of the flower.

Here is the inside of that card, with a strip of washi tape:

And the final card:

For Sketch 3, I made a mini slimline card. This time it is a Penny Black cute stamp called Lazy Days--a perfect summer image!  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers. The sentiment is from the Spellbinders Many Words stamp set--layered on a strip of Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon. The fun patterned paper is also American Crafts Summer called Swimsuit.

Here is the inside of that card:
