Pastel Feathers

Hi there!

Today I have a card for the CAS Colours and Sketches and Just Us Girls challenges.  JUGS want us to use feathers this week and I thought they would go well with the soft colours at CAS C&S.  These Simon Says Stamp feathers were die cut and layered a few times to add some dimension.  The sentiment is an oldie but goodie from Verve and the scalloped panel is one of my favourites from WPlus9.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White, Soft Stone) Papertrey Ink, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Wisteria Wonder) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Sentiment from Words of Wisdom) Verve

Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko

Die:  (Feathers) Simon Says Stamp, (Scalloped rectangle) WPlus9

Other:  (Nuvo Liquid Mercury Crystal Drops) Tonic

Twofer Feathers

Hi there!

I was determined to play along with Darnell's new Twofer Challenge and as usual am squeaking in at the last minute.  I used my Simon Says Stamp feather dies to make a wedding card and an encouragement card.  For the wedding card I used the negative die cuts and decorated them with Nuvo Crystal Drops.  For the encouragement card I die cut the feathers from patterned papers.

CASology #248

Welcome to Week 248 of CASology!  Take a look at the cue word for this week:

This sentiment comes from the only Verve set that I own and it gets a lot of use.  I love the fact that it fits so perfectly onto this Papertrey Ink grad cap die.  It makes for some very quick and easy cards!     

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!

Special Orders

Hi there!  I'm not playing along with any challenges today - I seem to have hit a wall in that department so I'm taking a little challenge break so my brain can recharge.  Instead I thought I'd share some special order cards.  All of these are for one (very loyal!) client and were made over the last 9 months.  She'll usually give me a favourite colour and something the recipient likes (butterflies, flowers, sports) and then lets me run with it.  Any favourites?
