Simon Says, Time Out & Happy Little Stampers CAS

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is ombre, and the Time Out Challenges #47; birthday with sponging. Needless to say, my ombre was sponged so I got two for one! [Love that]

I used the Hero Arts Chevron Background stamp [retired], along with a fairly new HA, Happy Stamp & Cut.  My bfly is Memory Box.


I also wanted to play in the January Happy Stamper CAS Challenge; smooching.


I smooshed a piece of card stock, and then cut out my Happy.  I love the look of smooshing - so fun!  I used MFT Balloons with hot, hot colors.  Yep, my type of card!

Great challenges people ~ Thanks!


Thanks for stopping by~

Both cards are so pretty Vicki! I love the ombre effect on the first one (and the butterfly!), and the colors on the balloon card are so fun! Love the smooshing effect too!

Chark said...

these are so pretty--I just used that die on the a2z blog post for the 17th!

I saw some of your cards with the dylusions sprays and got some for Christmas. What kind of paper do you use? just wondering.

Love your delicate bfly against the black and the chevron bg, Vicki!!! The balloon card - super!!!

A duo of dazzle, Vicki! Swooning over your butterfly! The balloons and smooshed Happy: fabulous! Maybe I should try smooshing in 'little' increments, because heaven knows a full panel just doesn't work for me. Thanks for the idea spark!
