Twofers - Butterflies

     Tonight I have two cards for the Twofer Card Challenge #29 - Butterflies

Penny Black Flutters die was used in both cards.

The first card, FRIEND, I used Technique Tuesday Stamps for the flower and sentiment.  Copics were used for the colouring and some Kaiser Craft Pearles added.

The BIRTHDAY card I used design paper from the Collect Moments pad.  Again the sentiment was Technique Tuesday and the rhinestones are Kaiser Craft.

Thank you for visiting and take care.

JOY

It’s the last Sunday of the month so it is time for the challenge I have with my sister, Cards and Co.  This month it is an Altered Item.

The big question was what to do?  I thought Christmas was a good place to start.  Also doing letters meant if I was only able to do one letter I still had something to show.  I played safe and use a small word.

Letters - KaiserCraft

Stamp Sets - Merry Jingle & Peace & Joy, both Penny Black; Poinsettia, Papertrey Ink; Christmas Rose Just Inklined digital stamp

Colouring - Copics

Accents - Nouvo Crystal drops & Kaiser Craft rhinestones

ChipBoard words - Scrapmatt

Paint - Kaisercolour

 

Do pop over and have a look at my sisters Altered Item, it's very pretty.

Thanks for dropping by

I had trouble with the Sahara Sand.  My greys were too blue and most of the browns were too dark.  So I settled for what I thought looked sandy coloured (looks darker in the photo).

Birthday

Tonight I have a card for the colour challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches #230

This card is very simple and straightforward. The image is a Lawn Fawn stamp and the sentiment is Penny Black.  I used Distress Ink and Versa Color inkpads.  The card was mounted on coloured card stock and in turn was mounted on the card base with foam tape.

Thank you for dropping by.

White on White

The theme for this week's Addicted to CAS Challenge #114 is White on White

  

I die cut Leonora Bloom, Memory Box, and adhered it to the the panel.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set.  I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black and the clear embossed it with Hero Arts embossing powder.  A Stampin' Up embossing folder was used to give some texture to the card.  The panel was mounted onto the card base with foam tape.

Thank you for dropping by

Season's Greetings

I made it!  I turned on the computer earlier this evening and nothing happened.  Nooooo!  After working on it for over an hour I got it going.  What a relief.  The first thing I did when it started was to load everything onto an external drive, just in case.  Something I had been meaning to do for some time.  So happy days we are operational again.

So here is my card for the Casology Challenge #246 - Season.

I thought this was a great cue word, lots of room for interpretation.  I loved Rachel's take on the cue word.  But as I haven't done a Christmas card for awhile I thought I would use Season's Greeting.

I stamped the Penny Black, Berry Wreath, with VersaMark onto a piece of red card.  Then I added Ranger, Platinum, embossing powder.  I did the same with a Watzing Mouse Stamp sentiment.  I covered the bottom portion of a white card with Versamark  and again used Ranger Platinum embossing powder.  Finally the red card was mounted onto the base card using foam tape.

Just because...

The card tonight is for the challenge on CAS(E) this Sketch #214.

The image is from the Penny Black set Thinking of you.  I have used Lyra pencils to colour it and Kindy Glitz was used on the centre of the flowers.  The image was then cut out using Spellbinders dies.  The sentiment is a Technique Tuesday stamp.  

Glisten

The challenge #233 at Casology this week has the cue word - Glisten. 

At first the only thing of could think of was snowflakes.  Then I looked up the dictionary and there I found an example of a dress glistening under a disco ball.

I used the Saturated Canary digital image Double Take and coloured it using a combination of Copic and Lyra pencils and adding Stickles to the skirt.  The image was cut into an oval using Spellbinders and addeded to Spellbinders Floral oval which had been heat embossed with Rangers, Liquid Platinum embossing powder.   I used a Penny Black sentiment from the set Sprinkles and Smiles.  To finish, the image was mounted to the card base with foam tape and some KaiserCraft rhinestones added.

Heartfelt Thanks

This is my first challenge for Casology 2017, in fact this is the first challenge in quite a long time.  The cue for the challenge #232 - Cut.

I die cut three Simon Says Stamp, Calliope Flourish dies.  One was coloured with Copics, clear Wink of Stella was applied to the flowers as well as KaiserCraft rhinsestones.  Then the three dies were stuck together.  The sentiment is Penny Black, Heart Felt and it was stamped using Memento, Tuxedo Black.
