A Simple 'Thinking of You'

  

Once again it is our

Colour Week at Just Us Girls and Bobby has chosen

these amazing colours below.

I have a friend who needed a little cheering up
so decided to make a cas pick me up card.
I have used Woodgrain card stock
and topped that with an image from
SU - Inspired by Nature which I
heat embossed and sponged the background with
SU Melon Mambo/Calypso Coral
and Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade.
This was popped with the black frame.
Added a few drops of water to add to the effect.
My sentiment is from GKD and I
finished with 3 different sized pearls close to
the colours above.

Don't forget to pop over to Our Blog to see what
Our Guest Carol Mayne has created and
of course the very talented Designers.
Hope you can join us and maybe you could be
our next Chic of the Week.

Thanks for dropping in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Simple Happy Birthday

I found this blog recently called

Watercooler Wednesday and they have a

CAS Butterfly Themed Challenge.

Now I, like most of you

I'm sure love butterflies and have a

mountain of them in our stash

so what better excuse is there to just get

one of those stamps out to play.

Details Here

I seem to be obsessed with backgrounds of late

and this is another one.

I have had a canvas paper pad for an age

and decided to try using it for my

watercolour background

using Tim Holtz Cracked Pistachio/Mermaid Lagoon

Peacock Feathers and Evergreen Bough.

Also added a bit more colours through

TH Speckles stencil. This was matted with the same

paper as my Happy Birthday from Spellbinders

attachedin a curved manner for effect.

The gorgeous butterfly is Gina K Designs

embossed in Teal.

I found it hard not to add some bling but

would not have been cas if I did.

 

Thanks for popping in.

I love reading your comments.

It's a 'Male Thing'

 

It's Designer's Choice at The House that Stamps Built

and for most of us we don't create enough cards for

the Males in our life. So thanks to Shirley we can add to our stash.

Details are Here.

I thought it fitting that I would make a background

using distress inks inking on water colour paper for

the beautiful bonsai stamp from

Repeat Impressions - 2409W.

I gave it a touch up with Gold WOS which is a little hard to see.

Added my sentiment from Stampin' Up

Backing it with white and rusty paper

which is scored. My card base is an olive colour.

A pretty cas card - just fitting for the Male Theme.

Bling it On!

Who doesn't LOVE a bit of BLING?

Well most of us do and I am sure Mary does

as she chose is Hosting our next challenge at

Crafty Cardmakers

You can find the Details here
 

  

I couldn't resist an array of butterflies as they always

look lovely with a bit of bling on them.

I have used basic white card as my base and

popped the white ripple card stock.

The background script is from Darkroom Door

inking it and the edges with Tim Holtz Evergreen Bough.

Arranged a variety of butterflies from Sizzix

using scrap DP for added colour.

The main butterfly has the addition of vellum.

Finishing off with sequins and rhinestones.

 

Hope you will pop over to Our Blog to see

all things blingy from my Team Mates.

Love to see you join us.

Thanks for dropping in and I do
