School's In!

Hello and Welcome to my card for the 

new challenge over at Just Us Girls.

Vicki is Hosting our Photo Week with

Every time I looked at this photo Mo and Jo did a runner

but I persevered and called them back.

I rummaged through my DP box looking for 

patterned paper to go in those banners and came across

the perfect piece instead. 

I inked up my SU Woodgrain stamp as backing.

I then got out my Jumbo Banners from MFT

and started cutting away.

Added inserts to match the colours and letters in the photo.

Cut out the letters with a SB die with the word STUDY

I needed a little something either side of the banners

so cut out some tiny ones and added rub on numbers.

(these have been in my stash for yeeeeears)

Popped up bits here and there and my card was done.

Card stock used is SU Tip Top Taupe
but certainly didn't photograph well. Sorry.

That's it for today.

Pop over and see what our 

August Guest Designer Ros Crawford

and the Team created.

Thanks Ros for the pleasure of seeing
your talents at JUGS this month.

# Popping this over to the current challenge over at
CAS-ual Fridays Blogspot for their

You are 'FABULOUS'

Time for a new Challenge over at

Addicted to Stamps and More and this time round

It's Everyone's Favourite - Anything Goes.

Hello and Welcome to today's Post.

I will admit I have had this card done for 

quite some time - just hadn't blogged it so - here it is.

You can all guess what my background is!

Yes Alcohol Inked. Cut with a stitched die.

I decided to add a bit of dimension and

cut out the centre with MFT Peek a Boo Die

and popped it.

Inked the top sentiment onto my white card base

and die cut the fabulous - both from

STAMPlorations. The 'fabulous' has a 

touch of shimmer from a Nuvo pen.

And there you have it - pretty simple

but love the bold colours from the AI's.

Pop over and see what my Team Mates created

and come join our Gallery.

Love to see you there.

Thanks for dropping in

Strawberries? Yes Please.

Hello and a Big Welcome. 

Today's post is for a couple of challenges 

I found while browsing. Something a little 

different from flowers and the like.

Well not too far away as it is 'fruit'.

When I saw the challenges for

Berries at Addicted to CAS

and my Good Friend Bobby was Hosting

I knew I had a NBUS stamp that was perfect.

Also The Paper Players challenge calls for

Fruit & Vegetables

I heat embossed my NBUS Repeat Impressions 

Strawberry Stamp - 515L

with WOW Metallic Platinium powder

onto water colour paper and coloured

my image with various colours of 

red, green,orange and lemon Brusho's.

Added a water wash to the background

with metallic paints.

Attached this to my parchment card base.

I cut a octagon shape from the same card base

and popped it for dimension.

Sentiment stamp is part of a set gifted by a friend

which matched perfectly. Inked in Festive Berries

and heat embossed in clear powder.

Finished with some red twine.

Thanks so much for popping in. Love reading your comments.
