Thinking

     



             A very simple CAS card.  I love this technique ... I masked off the bottom sections and  I used a fiskers stamp ( Petals from Scratch) and repeated it all around.   I used a white crayon to color in the petals.  I then smudged peeled paint, broken china and marmalade onto the stamped area.  Rub over the crayon to remove any color that may have covered the petals.  I used a Hampton Arts rubber stamp with gold embossing powder and then I used a gold mylar edge sticker to divide the color with the cream.







I would love to add this card to the following challenges if I may:
CAS on Sunday = Repetitive Stamping.
Watercooler Wednesday - ATG
QKR Stampede Challenge - ATG
Simon Says - ATG
Outlawz - CAS Sunday.

Thank you again for stopping by.
Wishing you all a wonderful day !!!!

Adventures

   





 This card was a bit of an adventure .... I started with Kraft CS.  I cut the printed velum to go over the kraft.  Using the rustic printed paper, I cut that using a curved stitched die for the side panel.  I love the hinges that I used for this card- another die and I covered them in glossy accents.   The stamp is from Fiskars and I used Black StazOn right on the velum.


All of this adhered onto a cream top fold CS base.







I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may.
Addicted to Stamps = Clean and Simple
CASual Friday = use printed paper.  (side panel and velum)
Just Us Girls = Die Cuts
Sweet Stampin' = Masculine
Simon Says Monday = Masculine


Thanks for stopping by ... feel free to comment.
Have a great day

Pawsome

   





      I was working with a sketch for this card ... the sketch is from  the House that Stamps Built.
Using bone cs I stamped the puppy and used color pencils.  I cut the ovals with stacking dies.  The printed paper is from Recollections.  The stamp set is from Simon Says Stamps.  The brads are actually from an ordinary hole punch where I punched a bunch/stacked them/ glue them and then used Glossy Accents on top to dome them and give them shine.

Here is the sketch ...










I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may:

The House that Stamps Built - Sketch
Through the Purple Haze = Animals
Shopping Our Stash = Your sweet
Simon Says Wednesday = ATG




Thank you so very much for peeking.  I feels so good to be back at it again.
Have a great day !!

Congrats

Hello from the design team  at the Brown Sugar Challenge. The theme this week is   Celebrations  and our sponsor this week is Store - bugaboostamps.com love love love her graphics love her new website

I love this image ... she is just so adorable.  The colors represent the school colors that this will be used for.   I used colored pencils and blended using Vaseline.  I also used silver glitter stickles to outline the graduation garb and the stars.  The frame was hand cut and then I ran it through my cuttlebug with a polka dot folder.
So sweet and so much fun

I hope you have fun playing along.

Whoot whoot

WHOOT WHOOT !!! 

We busted buttttt and worked all weekend ... and I'm back in my room !!

I can finally unwrap the packaging of my Mom's Day goodies ....

  yeeeeee haaaa

new inks ... new stamps ... new cartridges

Time to get cracking and catch up 

Getting it back together ........

Ever so slowly.
We've had some major construction going on in the house that had bedroom furniture stuffed into my craft room for a few weeks (at the mercy of the workers -- 2 weeks 2 weeks ... actually there is no meaning to the term 2 weeks).   All I could do is open the door ... entry is not an option - getting supplies not an option.

Then the flu ... 

It's been intense to say the least ... but I think I can actually see a ray of sunshine.
Hoping to get it all back together

Mom's the Word

Hello from the design team  at the Brown Sugar Challenge. The theme this week is   Mother's Day  and our sponsor this week is Store - http://www.artstampsstore.com/

I made this card for a very special person (who is expecting) but no one know (yet).    I started with the image on white cs where I colored by blending colored pencils.  Using green cs, I cut the letters with my cricut using the Lyrical Letters Cartridge. I adhered it all onto the same color cs base in green and ran faux stitching with a white gel pen.

I hope you have fun playing along.
