I Ate Him

I've got a card today for the Inky Paws Use Stripes challenge and the Stripes challenge at Seize the Birthday. I'm always a little torn about this image and sentiment (poor birdie!) but Newton's so cute it's hard to resist him - so much so that I made two cards!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink

Patterned Paper: (Dots & Stripes Sorbet 6x6, Dots & Stripes Fresh 6x6) My Favourite Things

Stamps: (All from Newton's Birthday Flutter) Newton's Nook

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

Markers: (R11, Y15, BG09, C1, C3) Copic) Copic

Other: (Nuvo Rhubarb Crumble & English Mustard Crystal Drops) Tonic

Flower Background

I'm popping in today with a card for the colour challenge at Just Add Ink. I used a Newton's Nook flower die to create the background with the flower in the upper left corner popped up for some extra dimension. I layered the Paper Smooches sentiment 3 times and then covered it with Glossy Accents for some shine.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock: (White) Papertrey Ink, (Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Dies: (Hibiscus) Newton's Nook, (Happy birthday) Paper Smooches

Other: (Glossy Accents) Ranger

CASology #394

Welcome to Week 394 of CASology! Take a look at the cue word for this week:

For this week's card I broke out an NBUS set from Lil' Inker Designs and paired the stamps with a splash of yellow and some fun stripes. Keeping it all layered and centered helps to keep the elements from becoming too overwhelming and keeps a CAS feel.

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!
