'Love' Always

It's Colour Week at Just Us Girls and hosting is Vicki

choosing these colours

They 'scream' Halloween to me but I chose a different path
as I am not a Halloween sort of person.

I think this flower from SU Bloom with Hope

makes for a lovely card. I remembered I had some

Twinkling H2 O's in my stash so I decided to

heat emboss the flower and go from there.

I fussy cut that out and then went on to 

create the background.

This was achieved using SU Timeless Textures

with TH Black Soot & Mowed Lawn.

The green leaves are from Marianne Designs

and a MS punch.

I finished my flower with some Diamond Dust

in the centre.

and cut my sentiment from STAMPlorations Pocket Blooms

with a MFT Stitched die.

Pop over to Our Blog to see what our

October Guest Karola

and the Team created using these fabulous colours.

You are never disappointed!

Hope to see you there.

A Stenciling I Did Go

I have had the stenciling on this card done for days now

and has just been sitting on my bench

 so today I thought I had better finish it off 

and add it to the CAS Mix Up October Challenge

which is to use more than one stencil on your cas card.

I used stamping, Distress inks, stenciling and

 water colour splotching with Brusho's.

I have a hoard of stencils so just started playing around

with several of them - not really taking much notice of

which stencils/colours I used as I wasn't sure at the time whether 

it would turn out or just be an overcrowded mess!

Most are ARTplorations and one gifted

to me by a friend (she had a spare)

The main image is ARTplorations Bloom Silhouettes.

My sentiment is from Gina K. 

Attached to brown card stock to finish.

Now that is done I am of to play some more.

Thanks for dropping in. I will be back later

with a scheduled post. 

I Scream You Scream...

It's the middle of the month and that means

A Reminder for the October CUTplorations Challenge

at STAMPlorations

I decided to go with Happy and chose

 STAMPlorations Sweet Cravings

and CUTplorations Matching Die for my focal point.

You know the old saying - 

I scream - you scream - we all scream for ice cream

A perfect Birthday Card. 

There are lots of yummies here - 

I decided to add a bit of interest with so many

party stamps and cut my card stock on an angle.

My ice cream cone was heat embossed with

Zing Brown Sugar then of course I had to add

toppings - Nuvo Drops in 

Violet Galaxy/Wisteria Purple/Pumpkin & Blue Lagoon

and you have to have sprinkles!

I let that dry and continued on adding

some stenciling from ARTplorations Square Dance

stamping from STAMPlorations Balloons & Banners

STAMPlorations Groovy Shoes

STAMPlorations Bold Sentiments

STAMPlorations Party Time

with CTMH Thistle, Memento Lulu Lavender

TH Carved Pumpkin 

and die cut CUTplorations Happy Die

So you see - so many fabulous party stamps/stencils/dies.

Hope you enjoyed licking your lips and drooling over

that yummy ice cream. It's certainly ice cream weather here in Oz.

Thanks for dropping in and hope you will go check out what

my Team Mates created Here and come join us.

You still have plenty of  time.
