T-Wreck

I've got another caffeinated critter from The Rabbit Hole Designs to share today.  This grouchy T-Rex is for the Paper Players' CAS Men in Mind challenge.

This is Luis without his caffeine.  I swear his blood is 50% espresso.  He has at least two espressos before he leaves the house in the morning and then has regular coffee as soon as he arrives at work.  When he's home he has an espresso after lunch.  He also has an espresso after dinner and somehow can then fall straight asleep!  

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White, Kraft) Papertrey Ink, (Not Quite Navy) Stampin' Up

Patterned Paper:  (Loyal 6x6) Authentique

Stamps:  (All from Caffeinated Dinosaur) The Rabbit Hole Designs

Embossing Powder:  (Opaque Bright White Super Fine) Wow

Markers:  (YG03, YG11, YG67, B97, E35, W3) Copic

Skinny Washi Stripe

Today's card is for the CAS on Friday challenge (Use a die) and the Paper Smooches challenge (Thank You). 

My brother and his fiancée sent me a bunch of crafty goodies for Christmas and included was a collection of skinny washi tape from Me & My Big Ideas.  They're fun individually but I also thought that they'd make a cool stripe if I put them all together.  I decided on a yellow sentiment die to balance out the yellow on the other side of the stripe and scattered around some Nuvo drops for some extra fun.  I made a second card with a Hello sentiment too.

Supplies Used:

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

Die:  (Hello) Paper Smooches

Washi Tape:  Me and My Big Ideas

Purple Zebra

Today's card is for the My Favourite Things Sketch challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (Animal fun).  This adorably funky zebra is another of the items I found on my desk waiting for use.  I popped him up on a pierced rectangle from Lil' Inker designs and embossed a sentiment.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White, Soft Sone) Papertrey Ink, (Daffodil Delight, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Yellow Butterfly

Today's card is for CAS Colours and Sketches and Just Add Ink (Thinking of You).  These layered Catherine Pooler butterflies are so pretty although I think that I've used the same colour combo for them every time I've used them so far.  I'm going to have to try and mix it up a bit in the future...

Thank You Flower

I've got a card this evening for Freshly Made Sketches and Addicted to CAS (Code Word: Flower).  I found this gorgeous flower in a pile of bits and bobs waiting for their turn to shine on a card.  I made it ages ago using a smooshing technique I saw on Jennifer McGuire's blog.  I have a few others too but don't have any leaves which may be why they've sat unused for so long.  I'll either have to get off my butt and make some leaves or get more creative!  

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Watercolor) Ranger, (Daffodil Delight, Basig Grey, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

Stamps:  (Flower from Hennah Elements) Altenew

Inks:  (VersaMark) Tsukineko, (Worn Lipstick & Fossilized Amber Distress Inks) Ranger

Awesome!

Today's card is for CAS(E) This Sketch and Addicted to Stamps and More (CAS challenge).  This awesome WPlus9 stamp set came immediately to mind when I saw the CTS sketch this week.  Its one of my oldest stamp sets and I love it as much now as I did when I first got it.  I stamped the background with a bit of rock 'n' roll technique in two different sets of colours.  Then I embossed and fussy cut the awesome and popped it up on foam tape in the centre of the background.  The You're so was stamped in black, trimmed out and also popped up on foam tape.

Supplies Used:

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

Stamps:  (All from So 80s) WPlus9

Inks:  (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Pink, Apricot, Sky Blue, Heliotrope) ColourBox

Pink Bicycle

I've got a last minute card for the Inkspirational photo challenge today.  I spotted the pink bicycle in the corner of the picture which inspired me to pull out this NBUS Simon Says Stamp bicycle die.  I paired it with a WPlus9 hello die and some Altenew washi tape for yet another no stamping card!  There have certainly been a lot of those lately.  Not sure why but at least I'm making use of some neglected goodies.

Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (White) Papertrey Ink, (Pretty in Pink, Basic Grey, Basic Black) Stampin' Up, (Gold)

Dies:  (Classic bicycle) Simon Says Stamp, (Hello speech bubble) WPlus9
