'Casing' a Favourite Designer/Designers

July is a long month and we have 

Five Saturday's so you know it is our

Wild Card Week at Just Us Girls 

I am Host this week and thought it would be fun to

 pick a favourite designer/designers and

 case one of their creations.

It can be a Card/Tag Maker, Scrapbooker, 

Mixed Media Artist - Journal Page Creator 

even a Quilt Maker like Carol Mc

I so love the dedication and how long it takes

to create something so special.

We need to say who we are 'casing' and

show their make and ours.

This is a longish post so grab some refreshments.

I chose two designers - 

Cecile Ribon -a fellow designer here

who inspires me with her talents and creativity weekly

and

Loll Thompson who I have admired and loved her

CAS creations for a long time.

Cecile's Card

My 'Case'

I changed the colour of the background,

added gold circles, floral die inked 

Lindy's Milky Way White for some shimmer,

a snippet of ribbon, sentiment and a few splatters.

Popped onto white card base.

Loll's Card

I saw this card and knew I had THAT stamp

also gifted from a Dear Friend.

Here's my 'case'

Die cut my Spellbinder Die then coloured the background with 

Tim's Oxide Saltwater Taffy and Speckled Egg

going for lighter coloures but now think

the darkers colours show up the

wet baby wiped stencilling better.

My stencil is from ARTplorations Fairy Tale Forest

(the technique Loll used)

Heat embossed the Uniko Stamp in black

adding the same sentiment as Loll

from the same stamp set.

Added a few punched pink hearts splatters and

distressed the edges before popping 

onto white card base.

I didn't know whether I would post this 

as I am not overly happy with the result

even second time around. 

Head over to our Gallery and check out 

fabulous case creations from our Guest Fran

and my talented Team Mates.

Thank you so much Fran for sharing your

beautiful card with us this month.

Sure hope we get to see your favourite designer's casing.

Thanks for visitng

Merry! Merry!

 Today's post is for our New Challenge over at

The Sisterhood of Crafters and Lia chose our Theme

Fairy or Gnomes.

I don't have fairies flying around my craft room

so my little gnome came to the rescue for

my Christmas card.

He is from Stamping Bella and coloured with

watercolour pencils and inks. Added a bit of sparkle to his hat.

Die cuts for the angle and Merry sentiment.

Adhered to red card base.

Head over and see what my Sistah's chose to feature.

Hope to see you in our Gallery.

Sending Happy Thoughts

 I'm playing again this week over at the

Tic Tac Toe Challenge choosing from the board below

to go from

top right -  flowers

centre - yellow

botton left - ink blending

for Challenge #171

Those that know me would know that I would pick

 ink blending - it's in my DNA!

I went for a bright yellow with Nuvo 

Solar Flare Shimmer Powder for my blended background

Flowers? I chose a favourite retired SU set

Botanical Blooms
Foliage die cut from various coloured paper.

I added Lindy's Milky Way White to the flowers

for a nice shimmer and

Yellow Rose of Texas for the centre of the main flower

then a clear gemstone.

Sentiment is from STAMPlorations Bloom Happy.

Tiny flowers have Daffodil Liquid Pearls in the centre.

Finished with adhering to coloured card base.

Also sending this over to 

Moving Along with the Times

Challenge #144

and another one for

Happy Little Stampers

Anything Goes with Dies

Thanks for visiting and love reading your comments.

Simply 'Make a Wish'

Wet, cold, windy weather makes for 

Great Craft Time.

Here I have made another card for

Happy Little Stampers 

I used Lindy's Magical's for the background,

stencilling randomly the numbers from

Which Craft Do You Do (Aussie Store)

with Distress Grit Paste. Once dry

I sponged a little here and there

with Tim's Black Soot then added

Opaque Crackle Texture Paste.

Inked and heat embossed the

Happy Little Stampers Dandelion Wishes in black. 

Adhered to coloured card base.
