CAS(E) This Sketch #30

Welcome to Week 30 of CAS(E) This Sketch!  Take a look at this week's sketch designed by N@ Ali:

I flipped the sketch upside down so that my safety pins would be right side up and stamped and embossed my sentiment in white.  I used the colours from this week's Dynamic Duos challenge - so perfect for a baby boy card!  I'm also going to enter this card in the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge.  

I'm looking forward to seeing where this sketch takes you all.  Check out the rest of the DT designs here and then play along!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Bazzill, (Bashful Blue, Midnight Muse) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Safety pins from Lovestruck) Amy Tangerine, (Welcome from CL352) Hero Arts, (Baby from Petite Cherub) Rusty Pickle

Inks:  (VersaMark) Tsukineko

Embossing Powder:  (Seafoam White) Ranger

Just Us Girls #149

Hi all.  I'm back for my second week as August Guest Designer for Just Us Girls.  It's technique week and this time we are to use ribbon scraps.  I don't usually use much ribbon on my cards (despite how much of it is in the Craft Cave) so this was a good challenge for me.  I ended up making two different cards and using my ribbon scraps in different ways. For the first card I layered the scraps behind a die cut negative and for the second I stamped on the ribbon itself.  I used StazOn ink when I stamped on the ribbon so the ink wouldn't run and was pleased with how crisp the images ended up.  Head on over to the Just Us Girls blog to check out all the gorgeous creations from the JUGS team and then play along!  You have until 9pm EST on Thursday, 16 August!
