Just to say 'Thanks'

By the time this goes Live you will all know that I had been asked

by Loll & Bonnie from CAS Water Colour Blog to be their

 Guest Designer for November. I was happy to say Yes.

The flower I used for our 

 at Just Us Girls was gifted to me from them

 Thanks You So Much. 

***

These lovely colours were chosen by Angie
who is Host this week..

My flower was cut several times 

inking around the edges and layered.

The background has been stenciled with white texture paste 
(which is a little hard to see)

and is from ARTplorations Ethnic Organic One

 lightly sponged with Tim's Antique Linen.

Behind the flowers is a leaf cut from a shimmery textured

gold paper and is from Fancy That - Leafy Swirl

My backing paper is turquoise textured card stock.

I inked the sentiment with Tim's Peacock Feathers and added

a touch of PearlEx powder. 

This was all put together onto brown card stock.

Pop on over to Our Blog to see what 

Our November Guest Trina Pham

and the Team created.

With such a lovely colour combination I 

hope you get time to play with us this week.

Hello There! My post today is a Reminder 
(just in case you have gotten sidetracked at such a busy time)
that you still have time

to enter the CAS Watercolour Holiday Challenge.

Check out Details are Here

I thought this time I would go Traditional in colour.
My card stock is a metallic green.
For my die cut decorations I wet water colour paper
and added Brusho's in Leaf Green Sea Green
Brilliant Red & Burnt Sienna.
picking the best part to highlight them.
I sponged Iridescent Medium for a shimmery look.
They were framed with
CUTplorations Curly LabelsTags Nesting Dies
in the same paper as my base.
Finished with a little Merry die unfortunately
I don't know where I got it from.

I have made 3 cards with the
STAMPlorations Typografia Gratitude stamps.

I have kept my cards cas focusing on the sentiments
matting the first one and adding some scrap paper
after cutting from the
CUTplorations Crazy-Double-Running-Stitch-Rectangle-Nesting-Dies
This was also used on the card below.

For my second card I used the shaving cream technique
with Tim's Peacock Feathers Reinker
to back my framed sentiment which had a bit of grunge from
STAMPlorations Mixed-Media-Grunge
added for interest. Added a few pearls to finish.

And my last card I went for Kraft card stock
adding white texture paste to the
ARTplorations Rows-of-Hearts
I inked the sentiment with Tim's Oxide ink in Abandoned Coral
and splats in Vintage Photo. I sponged my binding to match.
This was attached to the CUTplorations Tags-1-Nesting-Dies
and the bottom with CUTplorations Curly-LabelsTags-Nesting Dies
