CAS on Friday Guest Designer

Hey everyone! I was very lucky to be chosen as the winner over at CAS on Friday for my Smile card and am now the Guest Designer for the new challenge starting now :)

The theme for this challenge is Splash - Make a card with Watercolours.

Here is my card -

I used my Zig Watercolour pens to create my background by scribbling one colour, blending it with water, then drying it with my heat gun. Then I would add the next colour. I also spritzed the panel a little to fade out the edges. 

I die cut a butterfly from a leftover watercoloured piece then overlayed it with a coordinating die using Vellum. 

I decided to use something new in my stash that I had ordered from blitsy. Crushed Glass! I added some glossy accents and sprinkled the crushed glass over my butterfly. It looks awesome!

My sentiment is from the Happy Little Stampers Dandelion Wishes set which I embossed in gold.

Thank you for taking the time to pop in today and a big thanks to the girls at CAS on Friday for having me as their Guest Designer :)

Starry Birthday

Hi everyone! I have been working a lot lately and apart from some scheduled posts, I haven't been able to fit in any crafty time at all. So, today once I finished doing a few hours at work, I played with some new goodies that I had ordered from Blitsy. 

I love this new die from Penny Black. I can see a lot of potential for different uses. I made a very clean and simple card inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch.

I used the die a second time on Gold Glitter Foam to inlay some of the stars.

The sentiment is from the Happy Little Stampers Dandelion Wishes set.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges -

Always Happy Birthday - Anything Goes

Sheepski Designs - Embellish OR Clean and Simple

Hopefully you may see me later after I had some more play time! Thanks for popping in. :)

Inkspirational #163

Hi everyone, time for a new challenge over at Inkspirational. Nonni has chosen a fun theme for us this fortnight - she would like us to use our smaller stamps to create a design.

Here is my card -

I masked off an area of my panel and stamped my smallest snowflakes from the HLS Let it Snow set to create my background. I stamped the sentiment from the same set and added a few enamel glitter dots.

Guidelines : use small stamps to create your design - stamps smaller than 2 inch diameter. (eg coin sized) . You may use one or two large stamps (eg sentiment) but the majority of your design should be small stamps.

Supplies Used:

HLS Let it Snow

HLS Enamel Glitter Dots

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges -

Christmas Crafts all year round - Non Traditional Colours

Get Creative Challenge - Monochromatic

I hope to see you over at Inkspirational! Thanks for popping in :)

HLS June CAS Challenge

Hi everyone, we have a fun CAS challenge for you over at Happy Little Stampers this month! 

We want to Smile! We also have our watercolour challenge with the same theme so if you create something watercoloured AND CAS, don't forget to link up to both challenges :)

Here is my card -

I went with a simple black and gold colour scheme. I embossed the word smile with gold powder and embossed the rest of the sentiment with black ink. The top stamp was masked off a little so I could create my own greeting.

The little hearts are from the Christmas Joy set! Makes it quite a versatile set to have!

I flicked a little black acrylic ink just to break up all the white space but not so much as to take away from the rest of the card.

Supplies:

HLS Smile!

HLS Christmas Joy

HLS Multicoloured Sequins

HLS June Watercolour Challenge

Hi everyone, we have a new watercolour challenge happening over at Happy Little Stampers!

Here is my card -

I smooshed yellow, orange, and rose red brushos onto my panel. I also watered down some gold mica powder and smooshed that in as well. I had a small piece leftover so I stamped a butterfly and die cut it to pop it up on the card.

Once my panel was dry, I used my MISTI to stamp my sentiment. I added my sequins using glossy accents to adhere them. While I had the glossy accents out, I smothered the butterfly to make it all shiny :)
