CASology- How Do You Wrap a Hug?

Good Morning

I have the great pleasure of being the Guest Designer today at CASology.

The cue word this month is:

I began my card by stamping the Christmas Sweater bkg from SSS onto white cardstock using Peacock Feathers DOX.
*Be sure to give the Distress Oxide inks time to dry for a wonderful deep saturation of colour.*
  I cut the piece down to a small square and glued it onto my card front as I wanted that to become the focal point of my card.

Next, I scored a border around the small stamped piece using my ScorPal.  It helped define the edges of my blue stamping and also acted like a frame to draw the eye in.

I stamped the sentiment from Penny Black then added the cute red button tied with a piece of white twine.
Who wouldn't love a hug wrapped up in a cozy sweater!

Thanks so much Melissa for asking my to play along as the GD.

The Sun's Reflection

Put down the blue ink pad!!!!!   Amazing eh?   There is not a speck of blue on today's card; the yellow makes me feel happy and wanting Spring.  

Anyways, I am playing along with 2 challenges today.  One is the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast and the other is at CASology inspired by the word 'FLAME'.  I took the word 'FLAME' as a colour inspiration and inked my stamps with Distress inks in yellow and orange.  I sprayed them with water before stamping so the colours would blend nicely together.  I cut out the panels so I could pop dot them onto my card.

Hope you have a great weekend.

Supplies:  stamps; Penny Black/ Distress inks/ Memento bl/ pop dots

Every Happiness

From the Garden

Whew!!  What a week it has been.  My computer died and being without it was hard.  I am back up and running although many of my files are gone and photos need re-organizing.  Guess it's a good thing I am off work for the next 2 wks.  Anyways, here is my card for today.  I am playing along with a challenge at Splitcoast and a challenge at CAS-ology. 

My garden is filled with ferns...such a lovely plant.  I wanted to incorporate that into my card and did so by using the fern as a mask and spraying it with Mr. Huey mist.  I added some splatters for interest and the sentiment from Rubberneckers.  The piece was then mounted on a scored card front. 

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a look.

Have a great wknd. 

Supplies:  stamps; Rubbernecker/ Mr. Huey mist/ scoring tool/ twine

Birds of a Feather

Well the weekend is here and I am ready to relax but wanted to add this card to a few challenges today.  I am playing along with the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast; CAS-ual Fridays and the challenge at CASology. 

A very simple card...stamped the bird, cut it out and mounted him onto the twine.  Added Glossy Accents to his belly and beak to give him some shine. 

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for coming by to take a look.

Supplies:  stamps:  Imaginisce, Studio G/ Glossy Accents/ Copics/ twine/ pop dots

                                                                                                                                                                                            

                                              

       

Fruity Drinks

Well it's Sunday and I had to play along with the challenge at Splitcoast and also wanted to add this one to the challenge at CASology and Simon Says.    Who doesn't love a nice cool, fruity drink on a hot summer day??  My card uses stamps from Fiskars and the yellow bkg. is made by inking my acrylic block and spraying with water before stamping.  The rest is pretty straight forward.

Thanks so much for coming to have a look. 

Supplies:  stamp, Fiskars/ Memento inks/ Copic markers/ twine
