It's time for another challenge at 613 Avenue Create!  This month's OPTIONAL twist is LET'S STENCIL, but I'm just doing an ANYTHING GOES inspiration for that part of the challenge.  Those of you with good memories may recall that the focal image is the same one I used a year ago for my Guest Design Team spot at 613.  This time, though, there's a video to accompany the card...

Linda's Easy Layout Triptych

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The project I'm sharing with you today is one I created using Linda Williams' first set of Easy Layout Groovi plates.  Not only is Mrs. Williams only one of two Pergamano Master tutors and a great artist, she's also a dear friend... so I created the triptych for her, using plates which are special to both of us.  Here's a look at it in its entirety...

And a closer look at each panel... starting with her Roses & Lace inside Easy Layout - Special Delivery.  The rose plate was one of the first she designed for Clarity and it was also one of my first purchases...

Panel two features her Groovi Contours - Daisy Chain Pattern inside Easy Layout - Cool Yule.  The Contour range was a new concept, of which I bought the daisy chain pattern upon release...

The third panel features her Children - Spring Dance in the Puddles inside Easy Layout - Sparkle at Christmas.  The iconic feature image is still one of her most popular paper patterns and is part of the girls through the seasons range I bought at the time it was released...

The final panel is actually the one I put on the front of the fold out triptych and features the Special Delivery design as is...

Card: Unbranded Kraft and Clairity's clear parchment

Groovi Plates: As above

Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing, perforating and cutting tools, Perga color pens and rhinestones from my stash

Dance in the Puddles

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

The bright colors of today's card from my To-Blog pile will hopefully bring a splash of color to dreary fall downpours...

The assembled topper is attached to the card blank by tape runner which is hidden behind the designer paper layer; which itself is sandwiched within the circular lace and focal element parchment layers; thus giving a floating look

Card: Unbranded kraft, Clarity's clear parchment and designer paper

Groovi Plates: Josie's Trust Circular Lace Duet, Linda's Children - Spring - Dance in the Puddles and Picot circles

Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing, perforating and cutting tools, Picot Circle dies and Perga color pens

Guest Designer at 613 Avenue Create

Hi everyone, 

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know! 

I'm absolutely honored to be the Guest Designer this month at one of my favorite challenges, 613 Avenue Create!  Not only that, but also to have been one of their "Master Rockers for 2021!" which got me the GDT spot!  Thanks to Chana and the team for choosing and having me!

The OPTIONAL twist to their challenge this month is to create something RAIN RELATED so I immediately knew which of my favorite Groovi plates I'd be reaching for... Linda Williams' Dance in the Puddles from her Children through the Seasons range...

The challenge is open until the end of the month and if you don't have anything rain related, the twist is only optional and otherwise, anything goes, so it would be great to see you over there!

#28 Delightfully Daffodil at Rainbow Card Challenge

Hi everyone,

Thanks for stopping by and for all your wonderful comments. I'm honored to have you here and I truly appreciate each of you more than you know!

It's the first of the month, so it means it's time for a new challenge at Rainbow Card Challenge.  Our theme this month is Delightfully Daffodil, and please, if you must, use only a hint of a preferably neutral color.  After all, we are a monochromatic challenge!

And here's my card...

Linda Williams originally designed the pattern I've used as a traditional parchment pattern years ago, and it was then, alongside 3 other girl seasonal designs and 4 boys, released in Groovi form last year.  

I love all her artwork, and I'm sure you'll agree that the design is perfect in two ways... April usually brings showers, and daffodil is the perfect color for it.

Card: Unbranded white, Clarity DP and clear parchment
Groovi plates: Linda's Children - Spring - Dance in the Puddles
Tools and embellishments: Groovi and Pergamano embossing, perforating, and cutting tools, Perga color pens, and rhinestones from my stash
