It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls

It's our Photo Week and what a Beauty

Maria as Host chose for us.

What caught your eye?

There are so many elements here but 

the bicycle is what I saw first

then the pretty flowers.

I love this Cherry Lynn Vintage Bicycle

which was cut from brown card stock - 

the same as the base.

My embossed Brick Wall is from Kaisercraft 

and inked with TH Frayed Burlap.

To go with the flowers I cut a Memory Box

Woodland Branch  and added a 

multitude of coloured flowers with Nuvo Drop centres

and a few leaves from Marianne Designs.

For the Gina K sentiment I cut a MFT circle

and heat embossed in white then

cut a smaller one for the back wheel.

Don't forget to pop over To Our Blog

to see what caught the eye of our

January Guest Cathy and the Team

and come join us this week.

Hope to see you in the Gallery.

Thanks for dropping in. 

Love reading your thoughts.

Hey There

Back Again - this time for the current challenge over at

Addicted to CAS and it is one of my favourites -  Ombre!

My card was reeeeeeealy easy to achieve that ombre look

because of Altenew's  Ink cubes

where you get 4 little colour coordinating pads.

This one is Cosmos - 

I went with the darkest to lightest.

The background stamping is from 

STAMPlorations VIGNETTE-Celebrate-Artsy-

changing the stamps direction each time.

The floral image is part of the

Kaisercraft Secret Bird Collection Stamp Set.

I stamped my sentiment  from 

Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler

then cut with Spellbinders Scalloped die.

Inked the edges but still was missing something

so lightly sponged inside.

Now I couldn't decide what card base to use.

Tried black - yuk! left it for a while and came back

and it hit me! Just use white and lightly ink

the background from the same stamp set. 

Here is what it looks like - 

 

I used the lightest ink and I was happy.

Popped it and my cas card is complete.

Thanks for dropping back in again so quickly.

It's Black - White - and -

Hello there and Welcome!

I found this great blog called Daring Cardmakers recently 

and their current challenge really appealed to me so...

here is what I made - 

for their Black - White - Pop challenge.

There are so many colours that go perfectly

with black/white and I chose red.

My card base is basic black.
The lace background is from
SU Delicate Details (may be retired)
I love that it looks like real lace.
The black & white leaves behind my flower
are from Marianne Dies.
My red flower is from
STAMPlorations Trendy Spring Blooms
stamp and die set.
I cut the back part of the flower with red card stock
carefully keeping all the die cut bits in place
then again heat embossing in red
this time taking out all the petals.
The floral centre has been sprinkled with black glitter.
My Thank you is cut from a MFT stitched die
inked in red and from the same set.

That's all for now so -  till next time

A Tic Tac Toe 'Hello'

Hi there and Welcome. 

Today's post is for the Current Challenge

over at Tic Tac Toe Challenge.

I have been having soooooooo much fun

with glad wrap these last few weeks I thought

I would use one for my cas card.

As you can see I chose

the Bottom Row from left to right

(sequins, watercolour, square.)

I spritzed water on glossy photo paper

then sprinkled Brusho's covering it

with glad wrap, moving it around

to create creases and patterns.

I added a frame to the front 

and popped it onto my square piece of

basic white card stock.

Added the sequins and a Hello die

from CUTplorations and my

cas card is done.

Moving Along with the Times have a

Clean and Simple Challenge going

so will pop my card there too.

Thanks for dropping in
