Thinking of You...

Nancy is our Host for CAS Week at

Just Us Girls 

choosing a 'very interesting theme'

I went two ways with the centre of my card.

The first is the MFT oval dies, framed (popped)

 adding a circle to the centre of my Lily from Repeat Impressions,

inked with Versafine Claire Nocturne, heat embossed clear

 and coloured with Brusho's.

Added a simple sentiment, black pearls and 

adhered to Leathergrain card base.

Check out how our Guest Bonnie and the Team

chose to showcase their CAS cards

and come join in with yours.

It's CAS Week at Just Us Girls

Welcome to my Saturday post for Just Us Girls 

Sue is Host for our CAS Challenge choosing

SPORT.

I don't have anything I thought suitable in my stash so

I cheated here and downloaded a 

cute precoloured image (Sorry)

Inked some colour for the young golfer to stand on.

Die cut with a MFT oval and

again with the bigger one with some DP.

Embossed an old CB folder, attached to

white card base and added sentiment

from Tim's Small Talk. 

The Team and Guest Stephanie

have gone all out with this theme

so pop over and check them out.

We bid farewll to our Talented Guest Stephanie.

Thinking of You!

It's our CAS Week at Just Us Girls

Host Elizabeth is asking to add the sentiment 

'Thinking of You' on our CAS card.

I saw a lovely CAS card on Pinterest Here

and knew it would be perfect for this challenge.

Found some pretty Kaisercraft DP for my background

then highlighted my die cut flower onto vellum

adding the heat embossed Thinking of You sentiment

from Happy Little Stampers.

Finished with cotton and a bow.

Simply Thinking of You

It's our CAS Week at Just Us Girls and 

Hosting is Lisa E and chose Silhouette 

I had so many ideas running through my head

and decided on a very old Gina K stamp set - 

Follow Your Dreams which had the perfect stamps

for this challenge.

My background sunset is inked with 

Tim's Oxide inks and Nuvo shimmer powder.

Added the reeds, stamped off grass

for a shadow effect then the stag with

Versafine Clair Nocturne.

A little colour and shimmer for grounding

then a simple sentiment from SU.

Die cut from ScrapDragon adhered to

black card base.

What a fun challenge isn't it!

Why not come join in and add your silhouette card

to our gallery. 

I am sure you will after being inspired by

all the different makes from our Guest Claire

and my talented Team Mates.

As this is the last challenge for the month

we bid farwell to Claire

Thanks for sharing your beautiful work with us this month.

Simply So 'Cool'

Our New Challenge at  Just Us Girls 

is our CAS Week and Hosting is Carol M

 

I'm in the naughty  corner because it wasn't  till I

uploaded my card I realised it was our CAS Challenge

and hope there is enough white space.

My background  and icypoles were inked with

oxides on photo paper and buffed to bring out the bright colours.

The icypoles are from STAMPlorations.

Sentiments are from various sets.

Added a circle around the so and finished with

lots of splatters and attached to white card base.

Head over to see what our Guest Joanne

and my Talented Team Mates  created and 

I look forward to seeing your choice of

food or beverage in our Gallery.

It's CAS Week at Just Us Girls

It's our CAS (Clean and Simple) Week at

Just Us Girls . Host is Sue and is asking for a card

1/3 or Less - something I have never made before.

Among my old retired SU Sets I found Clearly For You

 with a pretty little floral stamp I thought would work perfectly. 

I wet a paint brush and swiped it with Tim's Speckled Egg

to highlight  the flower inked with Memento Rhubarb Stalk

and heat embossed clear for a nice shine.

A little swipe to ground it and finish with

a simple sentiment and some tiny splatters.

Head over and see what's in store for you from

our Guest Michele and my Talented Team Mates.

Will you be having fun creating an

itsy bitzy teeny weeny 1/3 card for our Gallery this week?

 (not a yellow polka dot bikini)

I've got you singing that song now eh!

Couldn't help myself.

Thanks for visiting

I Love 'Thistles'

It's Saturday and that means

Challenge Day at Just Us Girls 

It's CAS Week and our Host Nancy chose

Colouring.

As it is CAS Week I wanted to use my 

favourite 'wee' stamp I bought years ago when I was

holidaying in Bonnie Scotland. It only needs

minimal colouring - bonus for me.

I got out my 'long forgotten' little pots of colour

activating with a water brush using

LuminArte Mallard Green, 

ColourArte English Lavender

and Colour Blast Apple of My Eye

(have you got them hiding in a drawer too)

for my thistle, leaves and background -

Nuvo Solar Flare for my flower.

Added some lavender flower soft to my thistle head.

Cut it out and framed. Attached to popped

backing that was scored at the bottom.

Wish I had a crimper as it would have been more noticeable.

Couldn't decide on a sentiment so left it blank for now.

Finished by adhering to card base.

Head over and see how our Guest Karen

and the Team created their CAS coloured cards.

Love to see yours in our Gallery.

We bid farewell to our Talented Guest Karen

and Thank You for sharing great inspiration

with us this month. We loved having you.
