Sunny Days!

 Once again it is time for our Monthly 

Anything Goes Challenge at STAMPlorations

Welcome!

I used florals from STAMPlorations Beautiful You

with Tim's Distress Inks adding

STAMPlorations Dragonfly Layering Die

also with Lindy's Magical's to the side.

Tiny splatters from the leftovers.

Sentiment is STAMPlorations Bloom Happy

Added a tiny green border and attached to white card base.

This was made for a friend at the village where I live.

She has had her third back procedure and I thought 

the sentiment was just perfect for a pick me up.

I added the sentiment - Here for You Dear Friend

from STAMPlorations Bloom Sketches (unavailable atm)

on the inside.

Here is the link to all the important information.

It's a 'Groovy Birthday Wish'

When I saw the  CAS Card Challenge
for February over at STAMPlorations
 I knew what stamp set  I just  'had to have'

It's STAMPlorations Groovy Shoes and perfect for our
Colour Twist which is 'HOT PINK'

 

This is my second month as Guest Designer and I am having
so much fun playing with all their fabulous products.

These are the products I used

I could have done sooooooo much more with this stamp set
but since it is a CAS Challenge I had to hold back this time.
***
I have been sweating on the mail man dropping my goodies
from STAMPlorations into my box
and he finally delivered and I couldn't wait to play.
I chose a super bright pink card base
then went on to colour those groovy shoes with
Tom Bow markers in different shades of pink.
I chose to back them with the stencil -
ARTplorations Broken Glass
inked up with Memento Angel Pink.
This was cut with a stitched die.
 

I added Glossy Accents to the brighter pink on the shoes
then Pink Kindy Glitz on the bottom, also spraying
a little pink randomly to block out a bit of white.
This was cut with a Spellbinder die so too for the pink frame.
The sentiment is also from the Groovy Shoes stamp set
inked with SU Melon Mambo.
Added a bit more bling with some pink gemstones.

Did you know
  There are even more reasons to play -

You can link up to 3 CAS cards.

 Can enter a CAS card with or without the optional color twist.

Non-STAMPlorations products are OK

 And one winner (voted by the design team)

will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store,

while the two top picks will each receive a $5 gift certificate.

If there are at least 50 entries, we'll also draw a random winner

and she gets to choose her prize -- a 3x5 stamp set

OR 2 standard size stencils

OR 1 CUTplorations word/phrase die. 

and don't forget the 20% discount code on the side bar.

What a great way to start or build up your

STAMPloration collection.

A Mid Month 'Reminder' for CAS Anything Goes at STAMPlorations

It's that time of the month when we send out a 'REMINDER'

just in case you got side tracked and forgot to play at the

CAS Anything Goes Challenge over at STAMPlorations

Details are Here

 

 

I started my card using water colour paper and heat embossing
my flowers in white. Added some Distress Inks - Abandoned Coral

Mowed Lawn and Squeezed Lemonade from Tim Holtz

 to my craft sheet and started blending the beautiful blooms

from STAMPloration Floral Bliss

I touched up the background lightly with a bit of

stencilling from ARTplorations Retro Circles

My sentiment is STAMPlorations by Noteworthy

inked with Memento London Fog 

I just love that set. The font is fabulous don't you think?

Added some sponging around the flowers to finish

and popped.

***

I have been playing around with stencils and mixed media lately

and thought I would add this one to show you the

result I got from stencilling some Bluestone Sparkle Medium

through my ARTplorations Nestles Circles.

To add to this -

I then layered the word Happy from

CUTplorations  Happy Word Die in

grey aqua and silver.

Finished with a Birthday stamp cut from a

stitched Die from MFT and a few gems.
