hello lovely stampers!
I'm playing along wth the team at timeout challenges #257 where they are celebrating their 10th birthday! Congratulations, such a milestone! I wanted to celebrate with them, so am entering my card in their challenge.
It's a little card using Gummiapan dies. The panel was embossed using SU woodland, then mounted on a wet stencilled panel. The beautiful birdcage was gold heat embossed and a black one was die cut and mounted as a shadow.
Thanks for stopping by!
hello lovely crafters!
It's time for our monthly sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches, and this sketch was put together by Michal. I thought this design was perfect for CAS cards and lends itself to many simple ideas! Although it's presented as a landscape card, feel free to flip the design to make it portrait.
I wanted to use up some ink smooshed backgrounds that are gradually multiplying by mopping up every time I ink something, so I chose this pink background. I stencilled over the top and also stencilled a white card the same. The sentiment was die cut twice and stacked, and the little word stamped on an offcut from the white stencilled card. The little bouquet was die cut and popped up on foam squares.
I'm a little surprised how pretty this one turned out - I'm not usually a fan of pink, blues being more my thing, but I'm quite liking this.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the gallery!
hello lovely stampers!
It's time for this month's colour challenge at CAS colours and sketches and Michal has put together such a happy group of colours. It reminded me of the sea!
I haven't used these dies in a while and they're so sweet - I really should get them out more. The background ocean is ink smooshed card, die cut into a circle. The shells and sealife were die cut from ink smooshed card and coloured card. I love how the seahorse has wrapped his curly tail around the netting!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the gallery!
hello crafters!
I'm joining in today with the lovely team at addictedtocas who currently have challenge #250 with the theme: sky. I love a good sunset and what can be prettier than silhouettes against a sunset sky? Beautiful.
I went with a trio of distress oxides to ink blend the sky, then die cut the silhouettes from black card. The ground was just cut with a cutting wheel in the shape I wanted.
Since I haven't used this large dandelion die before, I'm also posting this card to Darnell's fabulous blog, NBUS. Sending hugs, Darnell!
Thanks for stopping by!
hello crafters!
Here's the first of our monthly sketch challenges at CAS Colours & Sketches, and this lovely challenge was put together by Jeanne. Since Valentine's Day is approaching, maybe this is an opportunity to put some love onto your card. Hope you'll join us in the gallery!
To keep is CAS, I chose to emboss half of the front panel. I thought the little lock and key were so cute, I couldn't resist putting them with the cut out heart. After die cutting them from a stencilled offcut, I rubbed foundry wax on them to make them look metallic. This turned out to be a simple card with no stamping!
The current AAA cards challenge #257 is also CAS with an optional twist of "love is in the air" and the current tictactoe challenge has first column: heart, red, punch or die cut, so I'll post this one in those challenges too!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the CC&S gallery!
