CAS-Colour and Sketches #27

Happy Friday Eve,

Today I have my card for our 'double' challenge at CAS-Colour and Skecthes. That means we have both a colour combo and a sketch for you. The challenge is to combine both of these to create a CAS card.
Here are the colours and the sketch:

                          



I thought long and hard about this and to be honest thought I wouldn't come up with an idea but then a new set of stamps arrived and an idea just popped into my head:

This sentiment is from the Fresh Squeezed Stamps and I just inked it up in black and red. I added the 2 bigger stars, inked off in the green and grey colours. To finish my card I used a star embossing folder to give me the line at the bottom and to balance the whole card I added two simple score lines at the top.

I am actually really happy with how this turned out especially after the hours of not getting an idea!

I am sending this to a friend I went to school with but I rarely see. She is one of those friend that you know is, and, will be there always.

Now pop over to our bog here and check OUT the cards ouR DT have made to inspire you to play along.

I will also enter this into the 'focus on the sentiment challenge' at Lexi's Creations and the CAS challenge at Stamps and Fun=Creativity and the 'Use Sentiments' challenge at Crazy Challenge

Enjoy!

Addicted to Stamps and More #47

Hello my crafting friends,

This week at Addicted to Stamps and More the challenge is to 'make your mark'. This means you must use some kind of marker on your project-promakers, copics, stampin' writes etc.
I don't use markers much so for me this type of challenge really is a challenge!

I went for a small square card and used the layered marker technique:

I used various shades of yellow and blue promarkers for the main sections of the flowers. Then used a grey marker to outline the flowers and stem to give a shading effect. I finished off the flowers by outlining the edge of the petals and stem with a 'sakura gelly roll' pen to add some shimmer. The main flower is popped up on a foam pad for dimension.
Pop over to our blog here and see the fabulous ways that our DT have 'made their mark'!! Then get stamping and let us see your mark!

And this week you have the chance to win 2 sheets of digi images from our sponsors Whoopsie Daisy

I will also be entering this into the 'flowers' challenge at Hobby Cutz Challenges and the die cut/punches challenge at Crafting when we can

A Slice of Birthday Happiness!

Happy Monday my friends,

My card today is again using my new PTI 'watermark wonder' set but this time to make a more girly Birthday card.

This time I decided to use some melon embossing powder to give me the top watermark and then some soft pink ink for the second 2. I added texture using the PTI linen embossing folder.

I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

Inkspirational #21

Here we are at the weekend again and I am here to share with you my 'end of the week encouragement card' for this week's challenge at Inkspirational. And we have this sketch for you:

As soon as I saw this sketch I knew I wanted to use my PTI 'square prints' stamp set. 

Our DT team have come up with some great inspiration for you. Take a look here and then get inking. Plus Tammy from Creatively Me is sponsoring us this month and giving our monthly winner all these goodies:

I am also going to enter this into the 'squares' challenge at Ruby's Rainbow and the 'just checking' challenge at Creative Challenges

Have a great weekend x

Believe!

Happy Friday,

Today I have a card I made using one of my Birthday crafting presents from my cousin Lynn-the 'watermark wonder' set from PTI. I had so much fun playing with this set and made a few cards trying out different designs.
Today I have one of these cards that was inspired by this photo at For Your Inspiration

I was inspired by the long tall trunks that seemed to be forming a tunnel to the burst of yellow colour. I took these elements and made this tall and thin card:

I do love how this turned out!

I am going to enter this into the 'green and yellow' challenge at Make My Monday and the 'CAS' challenge at A blog named Hero

CAS-Colour and Sketches.

Here we are at Friday Eve again! And I hope you are having a good one. This week at CAS-Colour and Sketches we have this sketch for you:

This is a great sketch for a CAS card and I had a lot of fun making this card:

I have heat embossed the dress form with vanilla. I made this card for Ruth a crafting friend who loves dress stamps and dies and who introduced me to heat embossing! Ruth loves to decorate the inside of her cards so naturally I have done this for her:

Pop over to our blog here and see what fabulous cards our DT have created from this weeks sketch, then play along, we are looking forward to viewing your creations!

Have fun!
