CAS Watercolour - You Did It!

Greetings!

The CAS Watercolour Challenge for May is Rainbow.  My rendition includes the following:

On a white panel the rainbow explosion was created using a stamp from MFT Distressed Patterns using a variety of Distress Inks. After stamping, each of the colored areas was placed lightly into water spritzed onto my craft mat to enable the colors to slightly blend/run.  When the rainbow panel was dry, it was over stamped with a Water Droplets Background stamp.  The white panel was created using Stitched Cloud Edges die and trimmed with black using the same die. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Wish everyone a wonderful Mother's Day!

Twofer - Get Well - Thinking of You

Greetings!

Another fun challenge at Darnell's Twofer Card Challenge #3.  This episode's opportunity is Blossom.

The sentiment on Card 1 (on the right in the picture) falls within the Get Well category.  Card 2 (on the left) is Thinking of You.  From MFT Doodle Blooms stamp and dies I used a stamp and die to create a trio of flowers in Card 1.  Card 2 uses the same stamp and die for the middle of the large flower.  Bold and bright colors with glittery flower centers were used in Card 1.  Card 2 was created using softer colors with a flower printed enamel dot for the center.

CAS Mix Up - sending get well wishes

Greetings!

Today, playing in the February CAS Mix Up card challenge.  Our inspiration is to use Felt, Cork or Canvas plus stamping plus a choice.

My card includes cork, water color, die-cut, dry embossing, stamping.  I die-cut the detailed butterfly from cork.  The water color panel beneath was cut using a solid butterfly die.  The butterfly is mounted on a "quilted" round panel.  The quilting was achieved by using a striped cutting plate to dry emboss ... ran it through Big Shot twice ... the second time at a 90 degree angle.  A few gray-toned gems  and sentiment complete the card.

Twofer - Hearts - Joy and Hugs

Greetings!

Today, I'm playing in the Twofer Card Challenge #2 - Hearts... a new and very creative opportunity for card making developed by Darnell and her design team.  How fun to design two different cards with different themes using the same stamp and/or die.

My two cards use one of the MFT Stitched Heart Stax Die-namics as the common element.

Card 1 - a very CAS creation - an alcohol ink blended panel was used to die-cut a heart.  The sentiment was die-cut three times using MFT Slate Grey cardstock and the MFT Joy die.  The sentiment layers were glued together and painted with a couple coats of clear WOS.  A few clear sequins complete the card.

Card 2 - the same MFT Stitched Heart Die-namic was used to cut a heart from MFT Electric Red card stock. The heart was embellished with Distress Ink die-cuts using Sizzix (Tim Holtz) Gear Head dies. A die-cut arrow and a stamped Hugs sentiment complete the card.

Thank you for visiting ... always appreciate your feedback.
