More Bright Birthday!

I'm on a patterned paper roll this week!  This card is inspired by the photo challenge at Just Us Girls.  I took my inspiration from all the bright colours including the pink flowers, green boots and blue sky.  The paper is by Reverse Confetti and I'm really loving the bright colours and fun patterns in this set - all very spring-worthy!  I'm also going to play along with the Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes challenge.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Paper:  (Paper Bliss 6x6) Reverse Confetti

Stamps:  (Flower from Blooms 'n Buds, Sentiment from Birthday Wishes) Reverse Confetti

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Party Dress, Lime Rickey) Catherine Pooler

Dies:  (Hemstitch Rectangles) Spellbinders

Other:  (Nuvo Oyster Grey Crystal Drops) Tonic

You're How Old?

The current Inspired By photo reminded me of this card that I made a few weeks ago so I thought I'd CASE myself and make a similar one for this challenge.  These Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz Crazy Dogs are are so cute and they have the best expressions on their faces.  The shocked look on this guy's face seemed a perfect match for this rather cheeky sentiment.  :)

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Rose Red, Peekaboo Peach) Stampin' Up

Patterned Paper:  (Out of Print 6x6) Basic Grey

Stamps:  (Dog from Crazy Dogs, Hat from Crazy Things) Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous, (Sentiment) Papertrey Ink

CASology #389

 Welcome to Week 389 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

Both this Lawn Fawn stamp and the Cosmo Cricket patterned paper have been in my craft room FOREVER!  I have used them both before so they're not NBUS but it's certainly been awhile since they came out to play.

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!

Bright Birthday

I've got a card for the Fusion challenge today.  It might be considered a bit of a stretch but I took my inspiration from the colours of the flowers.  I've been trying to make use of more patterned paper and this bright, cheery yellow felt like a good backdrop for my bright, cheery flower!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Paper:  (Paper Bliss 6x6) Reverse Confetti

Stamps:  (Flower from Blooms 'n Buds, Sentiment from Birthday Wishes) Reverse Confetti

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Party Dress, Lime Rickey) Catherine Pooler

Dies:  (Stitched rectangle) Mama Elephant

Other:  (Nuvo Oyster Grey Crystal Drops) Tonic

Mother's Day Flower

Popping in today with a CAS card for The Card Concept.  I was inspired by the purple flowers and grey vase.  I used the same flower and a similar layout recently but changing up the flower colour and background gave it a completely different vibe - a softer feel that I thought would appeal to my mom for Mother's Day.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink

Stamps:  (Flower from Build-a-Flower Magnolia, Sentiment from Extra Special, Splatter from Watercolour Frames) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Bamboo, Olive, Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Midnight Violet, Mocha, Silver Stone) Altenew

Other:  (Nuvo Violet Galaxy Crystal Drops) Tonic

Leaf Blessings

 I haven't played along with the Shopping Our Stash challenge in forever but this time the theme is plant life and I felt inspired.  These leaves are from a Craft's Meow set.  I've had them so long that the company doesn't exist anymore so I think this definitely counts as shopping my stash!  I used an ink smooshing and misting technique to colour the leaves and added an MFT sentiment, some twine and a few Nuvo drops to finish it off.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Watercolour) Ranger, (Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Leaves from Beautiful Spring) The Craft's Meow, (Sentiment from Essential Sentiments) My Favourite Things

Inks:  (VersaMark) Tsukineko, (Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover) Ranger

Embossing Powder:  (Opaque Bright White Super Fine) Wow

Twine:  Darice

Other:  (Nuvo Oyster Grey Crystal Drops) Tonic

Pink Stripe Flowers

 

I've got a card today for the Seize the Birthday Spring Flowers challenge.  For some reason I never have the patience to colour this Altenew flower and in the past have just embossed it with coloured embossing powder.  This time I decided to "colour" it with striped cardstock.  I combined a Mama Elephant happy die with one of their stamped sentiments and finished things off with some scattered gems.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Regal Rose, Strawberry Slush, Melon Mambo, Smokey Slate, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Flower) Altenew, (Birthday from Labeled Love) Mama Elephant

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
