Gift Bag Pup

Hi there!

I've got a Christmas card for this week's CAS(E) This Sketch challenge.  This little Gerda Steiner pup peeking out of the gift bag is so darn adorable!!  I coloured him with Copics, paired him up with an Avery Elle sentiment and scattered some Simon Says stars around to finish it off.

Stamps:  (Dog from Christppies) Gerda Seiner, (Sentiment from Happy Howl-idays) Avery Elle

Triangle Thank You

Hi there!

I'm popping in with a card for the Just Add Ink colour challenge.  I went for a simple graphic look using some MFT triangles and a Paper Smooches sentiment.  I layered the sentiment die 3 times and covered it with Glossy Accents to really make it pop - one of my fave techniques.  I finished it off with some Nuvo drops to frame the sentiment and voila!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Pear Pizzazz, Coastal Cabana, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Dies:  (Triangles) My Favourite Things, (Sentiment) Paper Smooches

Other:  (Nuvo White Crystal Drops) Tonic

Purple Sympathy Flower

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Textured White) Bazzill, (Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Flowers &leaves from Doodle Blooms) Altenew, (Sentiment from Essential Sentiments) My Favourite Things

CAS Flower Birthday

Good morning!

I have a card today for the Flower Challenge's CAS challenge.  I love the gorgeous simplicity of this Altenew flower.  The yellow background comes from their Watercolor Frames set and I love how it helps to pop the flower off of the page.  I decided since I had everything out I'd make the card in blue as well.  The colours came out a bit crisper on the second one but I also like the softness of the first one.  What do you think?

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Stamps:  (Flower, Frame from Watercolor Frames) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, Altenew

Other:  (Nuvo Oyster Grey Crystal Drops) Tonic

Wedding Frame

Hi there!

I'm popping in with a quick card for the Just Us Girls Frame It challenge.  I was inspired by this gorgeous Christmas card by Amy Rohl.  I used some Reverse Confetti leaves with a Paper Smooches frame and my favourite wedding sentiment by Altenew.  That's it for now - gotta dash to work!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White, Soft Stone) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Paper:  (Penny Lane 12x12) My Mind's Eye

Stamps:  (Sentiment from Build-A-Flower: Magnolia) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Dies:  (Leaves) Reverse Confetti, (Frame 3) Paper Smooches

Markers:  (R27, R32, Y00, Y15, E08, W1, W3, W5) Copic

CASology #354

Welcome to Week 354 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

We don't very often get weather related fog in Bermuda but I certainly suffer from pre-coffee fog in the morning.  This little bee looks just how I feel most days and I think that sentiment is spot on - steer clear until the coffee has kicked in!

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!

Harmony Hedgehog

Hello!

I've got a card to share for two challenges today - Just Add Ink (Just Add "H") and Simon Says Wednesday (Christmas/Happy Holidays).  This is a triple "H" card with harmony, holidays and a hedgehog!  This Penny Black hedgie has been with me for a long time but this may be his first time getting inked up.  (Shame on me!)  Both the Hero Arts sentiment (also an oldie but goodie) and the Jillibean Soup paper seem tailor-made for this little guy.  I went with a yellow card base to show everything is lit up by his little lantern.

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Daffodil Delight) Stampin' Up
