A Mid Month 'Reminder' for CAS Anything Goes at STAMPlorations

It's that time of the month when we send out a 'REMINDER'

just in case you got side tracked and forgot to play at the

CAS Anything Goes Challenge over at STAMPlorations

Details are Here

 

 

I started my card using water colour paper and heat embossing
my flowers in white. Added some Distress Inks - Abandoned Coral

Mowed Lawn and Squeezed Lemonade from Tim Holtz

 to my craft sheet and started blending the beautiful blooms

from STAMPloration Floral Bliss

I touched up the background lightly with a bit of

stencilling from ARTplorations Retro Circles

My sentiment is STAMPlorations by Noteworthy

inked with Memento London Fog 

I just love that set. The font is fabulous don't you think?

Added some sponging around the flowers to finish

and popped.

***

I have been playing around with stencils and mixed media lately

and thought I would add this one to show you the

result I got from stencilling some Bluestone Sparkle Medium

through my ARTplorations Nestles Circles.

To add to this -

I then layered the word Happy from

CUTplorations  Happy Word Die in

grey aqua and silver.

Finished with a Birthday stamp cut from a

stitched Die from MFT and a few gems.

***

Why the Reminder? There is even more reason to play -

You can link up to 3 CAS cards.

 Can enter a CAS card with or without the optional color twist.

Non-STAMPlorations products are OK

Beginning with this challenge, one winner (voted by the design team) will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store, while the two top picks will each receive a $5 gift certificate. If there are at least 50 entries, we'll also draw a random winner and she gets to choose her prize -- a 3x5 stamp set OR 2 standard size stencils OR 1 CUTplorations word/phrase die. 

and don't forget the 20% discount code on the side bar.

What a great way to start or build up your STAMPloration collection.

Love to see you at the
