Muse Card Club

Hi there,

I haven't played along at Muse for a while now but this week Tenia's card really caught my eye and I wanted to have a go at CASEing it. This is what I came up with:


When I saw Tenia's card I knew I wanted to use my type writer stamp. I have used delicata gold ink instead of embossing. Tenia often uses splatters so I got them in plus I had a go at using staples to adhere the vellum-makes for a funky look I think. 

This was a fun card to make, so thank you Tenia for the inspiration!

Her is Tenia's card:

Inkspiratonal #79

A very Happy Weekend to you all,

It is time for a new challenge at Inkspirational and this week we have a colour challenge for you and we are going with 'Neon'

Many of you know I like to be organised and often have my DT cards prepared ahead of time. However when I saw this challenge I thought it would be an easy one for me and would leave it until the last minute. What a silly idea, creating under pressure is just not how I roll!
I only have 2 neon inks and these were going to be used for sure and it wasn't until I saw the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch that an idea come to me.
I will enter this into the jon in and win at winnie and walter

I went with my fav splash stamp and created a card that is very true to my own style-I feel it is a good idea to go with what you love best when you are under pressure!



You know what, this was a last minute make but I love it and it is the first time I used by new Winnie and Walter Big Bold Sentiment set. That means it is going to be entered into Darnell's NBUS

Our Guest Designer will be known by many of you as she is on a number of design teams and is one of the most creative crafters I know-Michelle. Her blog I card Everyone is well with a browse!

And our DT have all made some neon delights for you, check them out here and then get stamping x

Addicted to Stamps and More #137

Hello my friends!

It is time for our 'Make Your Mark' challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.

'Make your Mark' means your entry needs to contain the use of anything that can make a mark - Stampin' Write, Copics, Promarkers, Painting, Chalks, Watercolours, Sponges, Stencils, Masks etc.

I have gone with watercolours:




Here I heat embossed a large Hero Arts bloom and then water coloured. I like the combo of yellow and purple when water colouring.

I will enter this into the 'Mother's Day' challenge at C.R.A.F.T Challenges


Love!

Hello Again,

This week at Less is More the challenge is to CASE one of the DT.

I chose to CASE Sarah. I am on  a few DTs with Sarah and for a long time have admired her creativity. 

Here is my CASE:


I decided to go with the silver embossing, hearts and love theme. Sarah's card is square and I can't remember the last time I made a square card so I decided I would give it a go. I have layered up the die cut 'love' using black card. Sarah wanted to see lots of white space so I listened and gave her lots of white space. This die cut is from Winnie and Walter and has never been used before so I am entering this into Darnell's NBUS challenge #4 as well as Less is More.

Here is Sarah's card-a beauty!


I will also enter this into Winnie and Walter-join in to win-March
