hello

 hello crafty stampers!

I'm playing along today with the paper players challenge #591 where they've asked for a cas card with the theme 'house'.

I decided to use the paper rose bird houses die set for the house and the little birdies. I began by stencilling using scrap matts branches stencil and distress oxide inks onto the card panel and another card scrap. I die cut the bird house from the card scrap and adhered it over the card panel so the stencil shape was in place. A little white twine held up the bird house. The birdies were die cut from some ink blended card, as well as the house heart. The sentiment from altenew sentiment strips was inked with the same distress oxide ink. Some wink of stella on the bird house and a few dew drops to finish.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

 hello stampers!

Playing along with the addicted to cas challenge #218 where they're asking for a one layer card. I find one layer cards tricky as I always think they need something more, but I think the challenge is to make them interesting WITHOUT the something more 😉

I started by choosing the stamp I wanted to use. Darkroom Door Under the Sea has some beautiful images and this seahorse is my favourite. I inked her with distress oxide, spritzed with water then stamped the image in my MISTI. A couple more partial inkings were stamped with different colours - I used 4 colours in all - to highlight different areas. The Scrapmatts Waves stencil was used for the water and the sentiment is from Altenew Sentiment Strips.
