CASology #298

Welcome to Week 298 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

I'm second guessing myself as to whether a zebra is really a jungle animal.  I think they're mostly found on the plains but there are some mountain zebras so I'm going to hope there's also some jungle associated with those mountains...  

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!

Fierce Friend

Hello, Monday!

I'm starting the week with a card for the Colour Throwdown and MFT Sketch challenges.  This adorable little tiger finally got to see some ink.  I love his cheeky little face and the way he's about to pounce.  Pretty sure his little cub roar would be the cutest sound ever too.  :) 

See you tomorrow for CASology!

Greetings from a Bear

Hi there!  

It's been a gorgeous day here.  We spent some time down at the dock this morning but I managed a little crafty time this afternoon. 

This card is for CAS Colours & Sketches and Just Add Ink.  I finally inked up this adorable bear from Winnie & Walter.  I love his chubbiness - so so cute!  I ended up paper piecing him along with the flowers and leaves and put gems on his wheels and his flower.  The speech bubble is from Mama Elephant.    

Hope you have a great week!

Birthday Bull Terrier

Hiya!  

I'm here with two cards I made using the sketch over at The Paper Players.  They're basically the same - just different colour schemes.  I've used Studio Calico papers and coloured card bases.  (I'm trying to use more coloured bases to work through the insane amount of coloured card stock I own).  This Waffle Flower bull terrier is one of my new favourite pooch stamps.  He's so cute!  And easy to colour. Ha!

I'm also going to play along with the Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Pretty in Pink, Island Indigo) Stampin' Up

Patterned Paper:  (Here & There 6x6) Studio Calico

Stamps:  (Dog, hat & balloon from Pawsome) Waffle Flower, (Sentiment from Beary Special Birthday) My Favourite Things

CASology #267

Welcome to Week 267 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

Originally I was going to make a card featuring a whale because blue whales are the biggest animals ever to have lived (as far as we know) and apparently their tongue alone can weigh as much as an elephant.  How's that for a crazy fact?  However, while looking for a whale stamp I stumbled across Ella the Elephant from (appropriately) Mama Elephant and she completely distracted me from the whale idea.  I think she still conveys the cue word pretty well though so I went with it.  

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!

CASology #258

Welcome to Week 258 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

    How much fun are these Waffle Flower alpha dies?  I decided that they were screaming for some sparkle so I cut them from some DCWV glitter paper and I love how they came out. They are the perfect accompaniment for a shower of diamonds!

Tribal Butterfly

Hi there!  I've got a card for the Just Us Girls Trend Week challenge - Create a background using inks.  I had fun inking up a panel of paper with Distress Inks and then die cutting this super cool Waffle Flower tribal pattern.  I layered a solid vellum butterfly behind the grey one and the edges of the wings are popped up on foam tape.  I added some Nuvo drops to the butterfly for a bit of fun.
