I ended up taking yesterday off. Too many hours in my stamp room and I feel like a hermit! I did get out of the house and do some shopping...yep, in the 110° heat! It was brutal, but good to get out.
Anyway, Krafty Chicks Challenge #621 is spot on with my current run; CAS card.
I used a couple of unbranded dies, along with the [retired] Hero Arts Stamp & Cut Holiday Tree set. I like these little trees. I inked up the trees and then spritzed with water for a faux water color.
--------------------------------------------------------------
So, let's go to the opposite end of the spectrum - mixed media. [Sometimes, it's just fun to get messy]. I got an email for the Arty Divas July Challenge; Anything Goes. I jumped over to You Tube and watched a video by Susanne Rose Art making your own collage papers. [She is rather awesome with her creations!] I had all the supplies, so I got to work. Once my papers were done and dried, I started ripping and laying.
Oh my gosh! I totally loved making this tag! [I also am really happy with the choice of colors]. I did some random stamping on the background and actually did use the circle impressions cover plate for some texture - you just can't see it.
I used some more [unbranded] dies, using white for a shadow [to show up better] and the HB is from [retired] Altenew Super Script.
Okay, that's it for today! I'm thinking I might be taking the week end off. Now, just to find something to do. Any suggestions?
Thanks for stopping by~

Two incredible designs, Vicki! I like the layers and textures on both!
Both cards are beautiful. I’m usually drawn to CAS cards, but your MM one is a standout!
Wow, these are great! LOVE the tag - those colors are amazing!
Wow Vicki, love that Christmas card! That is such a neat background die, and even with all the details it still has such a CAS look. Thanks for playing along with us at Krafty Chicks!
I'm loving the concept of your Christmas design! Your tag turned out awesome too with your layered floral die!
Awesome creations, and gorgeous color combos! I also love the fact that you made those collage papers.
