Just Us Girls Challenge #678 - Color Week

Yes, you can include neutrals for this color challenge.  Good thing, since I did. 😀

I am thrilled with this card!  I used the stunning Altenew Blossom and Bloom stamp & die set.  [While I didn't use the die, it's a great addition to have.]  I did fussy cut out the 2 spotlighted colored flowers.

The hb is from an OOB company.

Your turn!  Come on over to Just Us Girls Challenge #678 and play along!  Lots of ways to use pink and yellow.

Just Us Girls Challenge #643 - Wild Card Week

I always enjoy this type of challenge.  I'll be honest, a lot of my cards, while maybe not CASED, are definitely inspired by other stampers!

For my card today, I am choosing Cécile Ribon, one of the JUGS Team members.  Every week I am impressed with her cards, and I adore her CAS style. Since I have been on a CAS roll for a few weeks now, she is my muse.  I chose THIS CARD.

I used a really old [20 years?] Stampin Up stamp.  I inked it with oxide ink, spritz with water, and stamped.  [On a side note, I plan on going through ALL my old stamps, and re-organize them so I WILL USE THEM!  Golly, I have some really nice images that haven't seen the light of day in eons!] Considering I used regular card stock [over water color paper], I was happy with the result.

The thicker branch die is from Sizzix Big Greens, and the other one is ??? - we'll just say unbranded [since I have no idea!].  The HB is from [no surprise] a discontinued Happy Little Stampers set, Doodled Flowers.

Okay, your turn!  Come on over to JUGS Challenge #643 and play along!  I look forward to seeing who you CASE.

Happy Little Stampers ATC September Challenge

It's time for the Happy Little Stampers September ATC Challenge.  This month is all about vintage.

When I think of vintage, I see jagged and sponged edges, along with softer colors.

For all my ATC's, I used Happy Little Stampers Doodled Flowers.

Your turn, come on over to the HLS blog and play along.  

I'm looking forward to seeing some vintage ATC's.

Happy Little Stampers May ATC Challenge

It's the fun time for the Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge.  This month is all about gold.

I went subtle using gold with the string, and little gold embellies. Once again, I started with a 1/2 sheet of card stock at 2.5 inches.  I sprayed the paper with water, and added in water coloring.  Once dry, I cut it into 3.5 ATCs. and used the HLS Doodled Flowers stamp set for my stamping.

Have you tried making ATC's?  Seriously, they are so fun to make, just like making mini cards.  Come on over to the HLS ATC Challenge, and join in!  You have all month to join in, and there is a $20 prize to the winner!

Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge

It's time for the Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge.  Have you joined in yet?  It is such a fun challenge - it's like making tiny little cards!  This month is all about Sparkle.

An ATC [Artist Trading Card] is a 3.5 x 2.5 panel size.  This month, rather then doing 3 of them, I just went with 1.

For my ATC I used Happy Little Stampers Doodled Flowers stamp set, along with a stencil that I have. I sponged on distress oxide inks on my 3.5 x 2.5 card panel, and then stamped the flower, masked it off, and used embossing paste with the stencil.  While the paste was still wet, I sprinkled on glitter.  Once this was all dry, I water colored my flower and added additional gems [for more sparkle].  This tiny card will make a perfect bookmark for the recipient.

It's your turn now!  Come on over to Happy Little Stampers ATC Challenge, and play along.  Seeing all the ATC's is really fun.
