Long Time No See

My card today was inspired by a few challenges.

Here is my card:

I have used the sketch from a new to me challenge, Sovushka Slavia. This is a CAS sketch challenge that I found via Ksenija who I started following recently after she won at Time Out Challenges-check out her blog here, I really love her cards.

I got the idea to use this stamp as I wanted to enter the One Layer Simplicity Challenge-round and round, make a one layer card with 2 circles on it. I was trying to think of something for this and remembered this stamp has 2 clock faces on it!

And I will also enter it into Happy Little Stampers-sprays and mists. I have used a spray stamp here so I am hoping this will be o.k

Plus the one layer challenge at As you see it Challenge

This card is on its way to a friend I haven't seen for a while x

       

Time Out Reminder #29

Have you joined our latest challenge at Time Out?

It is our 'Inspired by Words' challenge

'You can't make a rainbow without a little rain'

Use any of these words or the whole phrase to create.

I went super CAS and and heat embossed this image and just added the sentiment and a mix of gems and sequins. The image has a very slight text on it which looks fab IRL but quite hard to see in the photo. 

Michele is joining us again this week as her GD and we are so pleased to have her with us.

Take a look here to see what she and the DT have created to inspire you. 

Then you know you need some TIME OUT of your busy schedule to craft and join in the fun!

This card is another entry into The Challenge-this time I have gone with the umbrella and the text (the silhouette has a ext background)

I am going to enter the 'showers' challenge at Addicted to CAS and the 'Up and Away' challenge at Less is More-I have lost many umbrellas on a windy London day! And for the same reason I am entering the 'Blowin' in the Wind' challenge at one layer simplicity challenge.

    

Just Dream

Hi All

My card today was inspired by the photo at showCASE your style

I used the colours that popped out for me. I embossed this fabulous sentiment and then water coloured in circles just like the bubbles in the photo.

I challenged myself to keep it one layer so I could enter the 'words' challenge at One Layer Simplicity Challenge. I find water colour cards a bit tricky to do in one layer especially with embossing but I left it under a few heavy boxes over night so that it uncurled!

Here is the photo at showCASE your style

Have a good day x

Now I am happy!

Hi again, 

 My card today was made for the latest challenge at Less is More

The challenge is 'This makes me happy'.

I have entered this once but had been thinking about this all week as I wanted to make a card that consisted of all the elements that really make me happy when creating and I nailed it with this card.

Here is my happy creating list:

-CAS

-Purple

-linen impression plate

-mix of enamel dots and gems (would have liked to include sequins but the combo I have used here just worked perfectly)

-rounded corner

-stamp and go-I call it this because it is just one stamp and off I go!

-been made for a crafty friend and will be sent with love!

This card is the kind of heart that makes my heart feel happy.

I will also like to enter this into:

One-Layer Simplicity Challenge-words, words, words

CAS on Sunday-Girl Power-make a card for a girl

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge-girly card

Grateful for you!

Happy Friday to you all!

I was inspired yesterday by a few challenges and made this card:

These are the challenges that inspired me:

Winnie and Walter Birthday Bash-one challenge-one layer. This is my first Winnie and Walter set and I am loving it!

One Layer Simplicity Challenge-Opposite attract. I went for colours that are opposite on the colour wheel and 2 fonts that are very opposite but look so good together

Virgina's View Challenge-Clean Slate-lots of white space here!

Darnell's NBUS #3-I only got this sentiment set from Winnie and Walter the other day and haven't used these words yet!

Have a fun day x.

TIME OUT Challenge #16

It is time for me for our CASE challenge with your own twist at TIME OUT Challenges. For this challenge we are very lucky to have the opportunity to CASE one of Heather's card. Heather's blog Bits and Pieces is full of creative and stunning cards and we have this gem to CASE today:



And here is my CASE using the colours, leaves and Autumn theme as inspiration and adding my own CAS twist:

I wanted to enter the One layer Simplicity Challenge-Turning to Fall. I thought falling leaves was perfect and got my lay out from the challenge at Retro Sketches this week-I have used sketch #126. The leaf stamps (Clearly Besotted) are just inked up in various colours. The sentiments are a mix from STAMPlorations.

This week our Guest Designer is the very creative and fun Carol. I just love Carol's cards and her blog Just Me:c is full of inspiring ideas and always fun to read. She is one of the most generous people in blogland always there to give an encouraging comment!

So what does Heather's card inspire you to make? If you need some more inspiration, check out the wonderful cards our DT have created here

Then kick back,take some TIME OUT and get inky!

I will also enter this into the following challenges:

Less is More-Autumn Bounty

Keep it Simple-three

STAMPlorations-anything goes

Virginia's View Challenge-CAS

   

Enough is Enough!

A very happy Friday to you all,

Today I had an idea that was inspired by the colours in the Fusion photo this week and the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch. I also wanted to enter the 'Shades of Summer' challenge at One Layer Simplicity Challenge using shades of summer #5 (see below).

This was meant to be a quick stamp and go card but I kept smudging ink, not stamping properly, just about all the inking mistakes that could happen did! This is about my 5th attempt and still I am not that happy with the stamping however no smudges on this one and in the end I decided...enough was enough!

By the time I had finished making this the light was beginning to fade but I was taking the photo and posting this today! 

So here we are:

I decided to use the orange and yellow of the Fusion flowers plus the green from the leaves-my green has some sparkle! These gorgeous butterfly stamps are from Uniko Studio.

I realise looking at this now if I had followed the exact position of the circles in the sketch it would have worked better, I think? But, guess what....enough is enough!!

I will be back tomorrow with my DT cards for Inkspirational and Addicted to CAS. I hope to see you then!
