CASology #393

 Welcome to Week 393 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

This week's cue word actually made me think of parking a car so I reached for this Taylored Expressions race car and sentiment.  I often pair them with some washi tape but this time I used a Hero Arts stencil to create the "road" for the car.

I'm also going to play along with the Colours Hues challenge - Red and Blue.

Looking forward to seeing what direction the cue word takes you.  Check out the gorgeousness from the rest of the design team then play along!

What's Mew?

 I've got a super simple card today for the Colour Hues challenge.  I love this kitty from Frantic Stamper and thought she'd go perfectly with these sentiments from Paper Smooches.   I broke out those EBE square dies again (have I mentioned how much I love them??) for a simple graphic design.

You Make My Tail Wag

 I've got a card tonight for three challenges - Colour Hues, Shopping Our Stash (Fur babies) and My Favorite Things (sketch).  This pooch is from an older MFT set and I've not used this particular image before.  I thought he'd fit perfectly peeking out of the circle and leaning over the flag.  This came together pretty quickly given how rarely I've been crafting lately which isn't usually the case so I was pretty chuffed about that!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Pool Party, Night of Navy, Crumb Cake) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (All from You Make My Tail Wag) My Favourite Things

Ink:  (VersaFine Onyx Black, Memento Tuxedo Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Essential Circles) Essentials by Ellen, (Flag) My Favourite Things

Markers:  (E33, E35, E37, 100) Copic

Other:  (NuvoNavy Blue Crystal Drops) Tonic

Lacy Birthday

 

I only recently discovered the Colour Hues challenge and Lindsey has been encouraging me to play along.  I was really struggling with my mojo when I sat down to make a card for the current navy and cream challenge and after far too long spent dithering over it I ended up with this.  My photo is overexposed as this looks very white.  It's actually PTI Vintage Cream cardstock.  I really wanted to add some yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops to the centres of the flowers but obviously that would defeat the purpose of the challenge.  Looking at it now perhaps some clear gems or silver Nuvo drops in the centres would have added that little something that seems to be missing.  Something to remember for the future I guess.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (Vintage Cream) Papertrey Ink, (Night of Navy) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Flowers from Frosted Garden) Altenew, (Sentiment from Labeled Messages) Mama Elephant

Inks:  (Juniper Mist) Catherine Pooler

Dies:  (Lacy coverplate) Lil' Inker Designs
