Wednesday Words

Today I'm sharing a card I created to enter the challenge at Perfectly CAS.

One corner is a favourite card design of mine and here's what I came up with:

I masked off a corner on my card front and inked it up with three distress oxide colours. Whilst it was still masked off I placed the Dancing Dandelions stencil from T4TD over and inked through it with one of the oxides I used for the background - love th subtle look this tone on tone inking gives.

The cute little bunny with his pot of honey, the bees and the sentiment are all from T4TD All Occasion Critters.

 

Supplies:

Stamps: T4TD, All Occasion Critters

Ink: Memento, tuxedo black; Versafine Clair, nocturne; Ranger distress oxide, tumbled glass, cracked pistachio, squeezed lemonade

Pens: Copic, C1, C3, B00, R20, Y38, YR68; Sakura black & white glaze

I'm so pleased that you stopped by my blog today, huge thanks.

Stay safe and keep crafting!

Monday Moments

Today I'm playing along with the Repeat Stamping challenge at Perfectly CAS.

Here's my card:

I used the grassy border stamp from T4TD Lucky Ducks and stamped it three times across the bottom of my card. I stamped it in the middle first and then added the sections each side.

I also used the sweet dragonfly from the same stamps set and stamped that three times across and added in the tiny bee stamped twice.

I added a sentiment along the bottom left of the card as I didn't want to go into the empty white space.

Supplies:

Stamps: T4TD, Lucky Ducks; sentiment from Brighter Days

Ink: Memento, tuxedo black

Pens: Copic, E41, E51, B12, RV00, RV09, BG11, T02, Y08, YG06, YG09

Thursday Thoughts

Today I'm playing along with Perfectly CAS.

As you know CAS is my preferred style so I'm really pleased to see this challenge back after its break.

And I do seem to have quite a few stencils in my stash! The one I used for this card is Rock Star from Funky Fossil and is currently my favourite and getting quite a lot of use.

I started by inking through the greeting in black and a pop of red for the star. then I placed the guitar handles to the left, masked out the ones I didn't need and applied both black and red ink.

For even more impact I matted the card onto red and then black card. Simple and quick - I love stencils!

Supplies:

Stencil: Funky Fossil, Rock Star

Inks: Versafine Clair, nocturne; SU, cherry cobbler

Card: Papermill Direct, plain black, ruby red plain

I'm delighted to have had your company for a while today, thanks so much for your time.

Today I'm sharing a card I created for the Die Cuts Challenge at Perfectly CAS.

Here's my card:

I started by colouring shades of blue stripes to create an ombre blue background onto a scrap piece of card. I then die cut the Let It Snow.

I stamped a trio of snowflakes to finish off this first card.

Then I looked at the left over piece of ombre card with the negative of the die cut and thought to put that to use. So I die cut a white Let It Snow, adhered the ombre strip to white card stock, added some more Copic colours to fill the space and inlaid the die back into the aperture.

As it turns out this second card is my favourite!

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Snowflake Serenade
Die1' CUTplorations, Let It snow
Inks: SU, pool party, night of navy; Memento, summer sky
Pens: Copic, B0000, B000,B00,B02, B04, B14, B18, BG01

Today I've made a card to enter a challenge - first time for ages! Perfectly CAS want a one layer card which uses one third or less of the card front. Right up my street then!

Here's my card:

As it's Uniko's birthday month I chose to use their stamps. The BIG & BOLD Love hearts are from the recent January release and the Background Builders Classics stripes are from an older set.

There's something about lines across or down a card that really appeals to me and I love how they ground the other images.

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, BIG & BOLD Love, Background Builders Classics
Ink: SU, rose red; Versafine Clair, nocturne

Huge thanks for looking at my blog today, you know I always love having your company.

And keep crafting!

Today I'm joining in with the Celebrate Challenge at Perfectly CAS.

This challenge has fairly strict rules about only using one third or less of the card front and this is my take on the theme.

I originally planned to use one of the balloons from the Sunny Studio set but once I'd stamped it and added the sentiment it looked like too much of the card front was used up. So I searched out the cluster of smaller balloons from Catherine Pooler and used them instead.

I added a trio of the small stars and coloured using my Copic pens.

Supplies:
Stamps: Catherine Pooler, Birthday Icons; Sunny Studio, Bold Balloons
Pens:Cooic, Y13, Y18, YG01, YG13, R27, R29, YR04, YR16, B02, B04, B0000

Thanks for looking today, I really appreciate you taking the time.

And Happy Christmas crafting to you all!
