It's Photo Week at Just Us Girls

Hello and Welcome to my Saturday Post for
Just Us Girls - Photo Week

Vicki is Hosting and chosen this gorgeous bright photo

for our Inspiration.

What I made isn't what I had originally planned

but that's how it goes sometimes.

I was going to focus on those squares in the background

till my card went in a totally new direction.

I decided to concentrate on the lovely orange daisies instead.

I will start at the back with the embossed Kaisercraft Leaf 

then added the black backing which was the shaving cream

technique using Tim's Black Soot reinker and a snippet of white

from a SU punch.

My flower head was cut several times from the

CUTplorations die - Trendy Spring Blooms

adding a few MS leaves. 

The centre of the flower is flower soft.

This was backed with black and added some yellow cotton.

The Best Wishes die is from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Pop over and see what our April Guest Karren

and the Jugheads created and come join us in the Gallery.

Hope to see yours there.

Time for a CAS Card at Addicted to Stamps and More

Hi and Welcome to today's post for

Addicted to Stamps and More

This week we have our CAS Clean & Simple Challenge

and here is mine.

I went a bit bold and bright here

backing my STAMPlorations Grungy 

oxide inked images with bright orange card stock.

This was cut from a postage stamp die.

Sentiment is from Casual Friday's

inked with Tim's Black Soot. 

Sometimes it is nice to just sit down and

make something clean and pretty simple.

I think I have done just that!

Thanks for dropping in here today.

Pop over to Our Blog and see what

my Team Mates created.

Hope you will find time to play with us this week.

Just a Reminder Post

Hi there! I am here to show you my other

Purple Card I made for this weeks

Colour Challenge over at Just Us Girls

My Poppies are from JustRite embossed

with clear powder. I inked them up with

Tim's Seedless Preserves and Mowed Lawn.

The background is embossed with 

Kaisercraft Leaves then I added 

coloured card - same as my base
topping that with patterned paper

and the moths flew out of my DP box

as it hasn't seen light of day for quite some time.

Poppies have been winked with 'Stella' and centres with

Yellow Liquid Pearls, cut from a postage stamp die

and I added some ribbon - again

something I haven't used for a wee while.

Sentiment is SU cut from a MFT die.
Hope you get time to add yours to
Our Gallery at Just Us Girls
