Just Us Girls Challenge #836 - Word Week

I have had a few challenges lately requiring the word water.  Rather than doing my usual beach scene, I went literal with a "water" colored card.

I went to my friend Pinterest and found a watercolored thank you card that I was inspired by.  I inked up my stamp, spritzed with water, and stamped.  I then took a paint brush and blended some of the ink together.

A cute little mini water colored card definitely works for  this challenge.

Your turn!  Come on over to JUGS #836 and show us how you create a "water" card.  So many possibilities~

STAMPlorations Day

It's STAMPlorations Day and I have a fun card today!

I started with this beautiful girl from the Retro Femme ATC [6 different designs - 18 sheets], and built the card design from there.  I grabbed a sheet of dp from my stash, stamped the Blossom Spray #2 for a background, and ran it through with the All Over Circles Textured Cover Plate for added interest.  It wasn't "talking" to me, so, I grabbed the Bloomtangled #2 Cover Plate and cut out 2 panels.  I sponged ink on the top one, glued the two together for dimension, and adhered on top of the dp. Now it was "talking"!

Using the Simple Expressions; Collect Clear Stamps. I made a banner type of sentiment, adhered that to the card, and finally added her on.  Doesn't she make a lovely focal imaged?!  Sometimes, the more you work with a card, the happier you are with the end result!  Win-win there.

Don't forget to stop by the store!  Shery has so many different offers! Subscriptions available, new products, and pricing that is amazing!  The Cover Plates are all BOGO 50% off, the new Simple Expressions are only $5, most of the stamp sets are ALL on sale.  It is worth your time to pop over!  Just sayin~ 

You can also use my code! for 20% off.

See you next week~

CutCardStock Day

Today I made a really bright card!  This time of year I totally love yellow.

I used the following colors of card stock:  Astrobright Solar Yellow and 80# Cougar White Smooth. Only 2 colors, but with the added inks, I'm very happy with the end result!

See you next week~

Addicted to CAS Challenge #314 - Water

Well this is my type of challenge!

I used my oval dies [keeping with the current trend], brushed on ink for a gorgeous ocean, added a little ground with sand, and added this adorable ephemera turtle [I won] from Not 2 Shabby.  He so makes me smile.

I added a complementary sentiment, and this fun card is complete!

Your turn!  Come on over to ATCAS #314 and upload your card showing water.

Just Us Girls Challenge #835 - Die Week

I'm the Hostess for this week's challenge.  I like to make it easy to join in by leaving it anything goes.  Is that really a challenge?  Probably not, but it's an easy card to enter for sure.

This is my favorite time of year -- all about the beach!  I love this shell and it sure works for this challenge.  I went through my stash of inked panels and these colors [kind of] reminded me of the beach, so, I went with it, and using the die, cut it out.

A very CAS card that I'm good with.

Your turn! Sure hope you come on over and join in the JUGS #835 Die Week challenge. I'm looking forward to the gallery.

The Male Room Challenge #213 - Job/Profession

I'm curious to see the gallery with this topic.

I saw a video by one of the influencers using acrylic paint and scraping it onto some water color paper.  I have done this in the past - and as norm, forgot about it.  Well it worked perfectly for this challenge.

I actually have a friend whose son is going to art school!  I used some images to represent art work, and then of course there is the paint.  Win-win!

I guess I am into primary colors this week.  My card yesterday used them too!  Good thing I like them.

Your turn! Come on over to The Male Room Challenge #213 and show us how you create for a job/profession!
