Sending Smiles!

Hi All

Sending you all smiles today!

Based on the sketch for CAS(E) this Sketch 

And the colours at Color Throwdown

I have used the fishtail tags from My Favorite Things-we won't talk about how long it took me to get the layers in an order and colour combo I liked!

I can't remember where the 'smile' die is from...it was in my stash!

Have a fun day x

    

Golden Florals

Hi All

The 'Shades of Gold' challenge at CASual Fridays caught my eye this week.

I especially loved Ishani's card here and she inspired me to have a play-thank you Ishani!

I was a bit stuck on a layout but The Fusion Card Challenge sketch helped me out here:

I know, not CAS!!

A lot of gold embossing here but it was fun to do. And I can't remember the last time I embossed on vellum. The dies are cut from vellum and some old stash gold card.

All products here are from CAS-ual Fridays except the stitched die which is from STAMPlorations

Have a great week!

Here is my card:

And our challenge:

This is the challenge where we have an optional 'one layer twist'. If you use this twist you have a chance of winning a $20 gift voucher from our fabulous sponsor Happy Little Stampers-we choose this winner randomly. I used their stamp set Born to be Wild for this and just added a few stripes of red on my zebra to match up with the enamel dots.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is the creative Joanna. We are thrilled to have Joanna join us. Her designs are outstanding and wait to see the amazing card she has for us today!

Calling All Sistahs November Challenge

Hi Sistahs,


I am here with our monthly Calling All Sistahs Encouragement challenge from CAS-ual Fridays. Our little bunch of Sistahs are all about raising awareness for Breast Cancer and would love you to join our monthly challenge.

Unfortunately this is our last challenge post as we are now closing the challenge. We thank you all for helping us spread this important message and will all still remember to continue to do this and to do your own monthly checks!!

What do we mean by an 'Encouragement' card? Well anything that would brighten someone's day. I am sure you have plenty of ideas of how to do this and make cards like this every time you sit down you craft. So why not share them with us?

We have a photo and some colours to inspire you. Use either the photo or the colours-you don't need to use both but can if you want.

Here is my card for this month:

And the photo that inspired this card:

The heart stamps are from CAS-ual Fridays 'Puffy Heart Love' stamp set.

And the sentiment from Mon-Ami CAS-ual Friday stamp set

Here is how you play along:

1. Make a card that will brighten someone's day inspired by the photo or colours or both.

2. Link up here by 12am EST on the 13th of June

3. Share with your friends and followers so we can get the word out about our challenge.

One person will win a $25 gift code to use on anything in the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps store.  All products are welcome, but if you use CAS-ual Fridays stamps or dies on your card, Michele will DOUBLE your prize!!!

My fellow Sistahs have all made amazing cards-check them out here and then get inky!

Make someone happy today with a very special card from you!

Can't wait to see your cards!

Enjoy xx

Inkspirational #174

Hi There,

Time for a new challenge at Inkspirational.

The word prompt is:

MAGIC

This sentiment is actually from a book filled with various inspirational quotes and stickers that hubby gave me. I have used many of the goodies from this pack for my cards.

I had no idea what to make for this challenge and was just flicking through this book and came across this sentiment!!

Our GD have all made super cards for this challenge-pop on over to Inkspirational and have a look!

Enjoy!
