For You

Softly does it this week at Just Us Girls 

for our Colour Week with Cecile's choice of

Coral Light Grey and Gold.

I went CAS with floral die cuts

in the above colours

with a shadow behind the middle flower.

Added some gold inkings, sentiment

and gold bow.

Check out our Guest Fran

and the Team's colourful creations.

Will we see yours in our Gallery?

Thanks for visiting.

Spread your Wings!

 Our New Challenge over at

The Sisterhood of Crafters

is all about Bees Butterflies and Dragonflies.

Vickie chose this fabulous theme

and I am sure our Gallery will be full of

all things that fly. Pick one or all three.

My background stamp - 

Libellules & Papillons from Carabelle Studios

did most of the work -  inked in black and heat embossed clear.

The background is out of my bit box using Lindy's Magicals.

I then die cut my colourful butterfly 

placing it on top of the one on the stamp.

Finishing with a torn popped sentiment

from STAMPlorations, distressed edges

and attached to white card base.

Head over and see how my Sistah's 

chose to showcase our Theme.

I'm sure you will be keen to play

and add to our Gallery.

Joy to the World

Today's post is for the New Challenge at

 Christmas Craft Creations and our Theme is

Patterned Paper

Sometimes a little scrap piece of dp is all it takes

to feature on a CAS card.

This is what I did here and simply 

heat embossed the sentiment in metallic silver.

Die cut my deer with silver glitter paper,

attaching to card base.

Head over and see what the Design Team

created with their Patterned Paper

and come join in with yours

to our Gallery.

Hope to see you there.

Another Birthday Card.

There's nothing better than spending a bit of time

in my 'playstation' on a cold drizzly day.

Here's what evolved!

There are a few challenges I will send this off to.

This is my second card for Addicted to Stamps and More

for their Birthday Challenge

and The Flower Challenge  has a CAS Challenge

A favourite stamp I like to use for a CAS card is

Rubbernecker Watercolor Poppies #719.

This time round I went in a different direction.

Instead of heat embossing the outline  and then

water colouring I inked the solid image with

Tim's Oxide Spiced Marmalade and added a

shake of Lindy's Cuckoo Clock Cardinal

lightly misting the stamp and placing it

onto Canson Cold Pressed W/C paper

leaving it for a minute to penetrate.

I then stamped the outline with

Versafine Clair Tulip Red.

Sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping

heat embossed in black.

Die cut and adhered to coloured card stock.

Finishing by attaching to card base.

Thanks for visiting. Love reading your comments.

Celebrating a Birthday at Addicted to Stamps and More

The current challenge over at 

Addicted to Stamps and More is

Birthdays

I have a few female birthdays I need to post cards off to

and flowers never go astray do they?

Got out my Doodled Flowers Stamp Set from

Happy Little Stampers, heat embossing with

Nuvo Gold Enchantment.

Coloured with Nuvo Blue Blitz Shimmer Powder.

Die cut a leaf flourish and coloured with

Nuvo Green Parade.

Fussy cut the flowers and attached to background

embossed with Darice Henna.

Happy Die is from Heidi Swapp,

birthday stamp from above set.

Added some Nuvo Blue Lagoon Dew Drops

to the main flower.

Attached to coloured card base.
