Friends!

Hello my frineds

My card today is for a very special friend and I am hoping she already has it.

I used some of my Birthday goodies to create this card. I went for one layer so nice and easy to post.

I am entering this into the 'Friends' challenge at ShowCASE your style

Inkspirational #78

Welcome to our new challenge at Inkspirational. This week it is the turn of the very talented Yvonne to choose the challenge. Yvonne had gone with:

She Art and/or image of a woman.

I didn't know what She Art was so googled it and found that is often mixed media containing an uplifting comment and often an image of a woman. If you don't want to do She Art you can choose to include any image of a woman in your project.

Here is what I came up with:

I did a CAS mixed media card using water colouring, embossing and dimension. I thought this sentiment covered the 'uplifting' part of 'She Art'.

I did find this a real challenge but after thinking about it for a few days and looking through my sentiment stamps I created this. It is good to step outside your comfort zone now and then. The challenge was out of my comfort zone but I still seem to have adapted it to my much loved CAS style!

We are very pleased that this week our Guest Designer is Lyndal. Her blog Ideas and Paper is well worth a visit-you will come away inspired!

Our DT have all taken a different path with this. Take a look here and then go be challenges and have a go!

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!

Uniko Studio Challenge #18 Reminder

Have you joined in our BIRTHDAY challenge at Uniko Studio.

If not you have one more week to play along.

You can use any stamps you like and join in as many times as you like.

I did make a completely different card for this reminder then when I was browsing around blogland a few challenges caught my eye and I decided to make the above card using my Uniko stamp sets-English Country Garden and A gift for you. I stamped the solid butterfly using Delicata gold ink. Then heat embossed the lined butterfly in gold on vellum and fussy cut it.

If you play along you could be for winning some fabulous Uniko Studio goodies and also you could be a Guest Designer in our next challenge!

Need some more inspiration?

Check out what our amazing DT have created here and then get stamping!

This card was inspired by the following challenges:
