Wishing You Happiness

It's Saturday and it's Just Us Girls day.
Hello and Welcome.

It's our Photo Week and our Hostess Nancy
chose this beautiful photo for our Inspiration.

Of course I saw that beautiful orange flower
with the sparkly centre and just went from there.
I have used a few Stampin' Up products here.
My background is from
Timeless Textures - a great mixed media set
and my flower is from Bloom with Hope.
I do like that set and use it often.
The background was inked with
Oxide's in Carved Pumpkin and Fossilized Amber
as is the flower which was heat embossed with
Lindy's Pumpkin Fiesta powder.
The centre was sprinkled with Diamond Dust
and Cool Diamonds Glitter.
My leaves are from Marianne Designs.
Sentiment - Happy Little Stampers.
Added a strip of dp to the edge for added effect.

Hope you get a chance to pop over and see what
our Guest Julia and The Team created
and join in our Gallery this week.
In doing so you could be our next
Chic of the Week and go on to be
our Guest in September. 

Thanks for dropping by

You've got Rainbow Flowers

Hello again and Welcome.

Here is my second CAS card made for the

Somewhere over the Rainbow Challenge at

AAA Cards

My Rainbow coloured flowers are from

STAMPlorations Eclectic Florals

using Tim's Distress Inks.

Sentiment is from  VIGNETTE-Celebrate-Artsy

in Black Soot.

I finished by scoring 3 lines to add interest

and what a QCAS card it is as Darnelle calls those

quick clean and simple cards. 

 Came together so easily. Love when that happens -

just not often enough. 

Well that's a short post.

Thanks for dropping in. 

Love reading your comments.

Colour me a 'Rainbow'

Hello and Welcome to a CAS card post today for the

Somewhere Over the Rainbow Challenge

over at AAA Cards

As STAMPlorations are sponsoring this challenge

I had to use a few of mine.

My butterfly image and a bit of grunge are from

Flutter-Zen-Row-Artsy-Borders and Art-Marks

heat embossed in white on watercolour paper.

I then got out Tim's Distress inks and 

inked my craft mat spritzed it and

blended together with a dipped acetate sheet.

The background is a little larger than I wanted

but still plenty of white space.

The birthday sentiment is from

Balloons-and-Banners.

I then cut with a stitched die and attached to

white card stock.

While I had all my goodies out I made another

CAS card so keep your eyes open for that soon.

I am also going to pop this over to the current

That's it for today.

I Made My Mark with...

It's time for the Make Your Mark Challenge over at

Addicted to Stamps and More

Hi and Welcome.

I love making cards with Kraft card stock

adding white elements.
My mark is simply the heat embossed white lace.

I saw a card on Pinterest and decided to CASE it

but unfortunately I didn't save it to give credit.

It's pretty simple - I heat embossed the lace

from SU Delicate Details and my IBS Sentiment

then cut out the MB Quinn Flourish, cut a bit of 

the bottom and tucked the side under the kraft

card stock. Got out a much neglected die

called Heirloom Rose from MFT and

blinged it up with Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

I got a pack of Crystal Gems from

a recent craft show and they matched

nicely with the glazed flower so sprinkled them

around to finish my card.

 Added one to the centre of my popped flower also.

Here's a close up of the glittery flower.

Pop over and see how my Team Mates 

made their mark and come join us this week.

Love to see you in our Gallery.
