It's CASimply Black and White

It's Saturday and Trend Week at Just Us Girls Challenge 

Vicki is Hosting and chose BLACK and WHITE.

This called for a really CAS card.

 

I heat embossed the STAMPlorations Blossom Sprays 1

in black and added Nuvo Glitter Gloss to the flowers

die cut it the white frame and again in black with the bigger one.

Finished with my sentiment from 

STAMPlorations Bloom Sketches.

Easy Peasy eh!

It was near impossible to photograph

trying to get the shimmer to show up but 

you will all know just how nice it is IRL.

Pop over and see what our Guest Claire

and my Talented Teamies made

with this Simple Trend.

Happy Birthday Wishes

 It's time for our New Challenge over at

The Sisterhood of Crafters and it's

Leaf it to Chance

(use leaves on your project)

I think I have that covered!

It was a little difficult to get a good photo 

as the card stock I used is a lovely metallic paper

with a pattern. I bought it a few years ago from our

local Office Supplier.

The leaves are from SU Botanical Blooms

and Sizzix Thinlits 664377 including the flowers.

Sentiment die cut using SU Avant Garden.

Pop over and see what my Sistah's created

and join us this time round in our 

'Leaf it to Chance' Gallery

and we will pop in to see how

you chose to 'leaf' your creation.

A Pretty Poinsettia for Christmas Craft Creations

 I have some exciting news for you today.

I have joined the Talented Team at

Christmas Craft Creations.

We have a monthly themed Christmas Challenge and

I was so excited when I saw what the August Theme was as I

love making Non Traditional Coloured Christmas Cards and

a favourite of mine  is kraft as you can add any colour choice.

I decided to use some patterned metallic card stock -

it's not a white white because of the sheen.

I got out my favourite Spellbinders Poinsettia dies

and cut several for layering.

Background dies are from Tim's Mini Holiday Greens

and Memory Box Quinn Flourish.

The texture plate is embossed instead of die cut.

Added Lawn Fawn Hemp Cord behind the flourish.

Of course you have to have some snowy

pearl white splatters which break the plain background.

Sentiment die is from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Finished with some pearl coloured gems

to the flower centres.

Pop over and see how my Team Mates

chose to use Non Traditional Colours on their

Christmas creations.

Why not join in with yours.

It's good to get those Christmas cards in the ready!

Thanks for dropping in.

Love reading your kind comments too.

Deck the Halls with 'Holly'

 It's time to show off my latest card for 

The Holly and Ivy Christmas Challenge

 Anything Goes Christmas.

A CAS card using STAMPlorations Layered Holly

Inked with Tim's Rustic Winderness Oxide

and Festive Berries Distress

then heat embossed in black.

The berries were heat embossed with Ranger Red Cinnabar

which you can see has a touch of gold.

The splattered background is leftovers from

my last card for this challenge as it was still

on my glass mat and added some red.

 Made both cards the same week end.

Sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Always good to have CAS cards 

for no bulk posting.

That's it for now. I will have another Christmas card

to show you later in the month.

Don't forget to pop over and see what my Team Mates created

and join in and add your Christmas creation to our Gallery.
