Thank you

Hello. Today I'm playing in the Addicted to CAS challenge of leaves with this card.

I stamped the skeleton leaf from Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous in Versamark, then added some Ranger mica powder to make it shine.  The sentiment is from Park Lane.  I layered this onto gold cardstock and then used a square top folding card to finish it off.

Hi everyone. I spent yesterday at the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo and spent way too much money. However, here is one of the stamp and stencil sets I purchased from The Ton.

I used color fuse inks from Brass and Bliss with the stencil first, then stamped over it with the outline stamp.  The thanks sentiment is part of the set.

Happy Easter

Hello. Playing in two clean and simple challenges today with this Easter bunny card.

The Bunny stamp is an old wood block one from Great Impressions.  I stamped it in Versafine, then heat embossed it with clear so that I could color the bunnies with Copics. 

The sentiment is from Echo Park. I chopped the card down to 4.25 x 4.25 to accommodate the image and prevent it from getting lost. 

Thanks for stopping by.

With Sympathy

Hello. Playing in the Addicted to CAS code word challenge today and that is Sympathy. 

The left side vellum panel is done using a Rubbernecker leaf background stamp. I stamped it in white and heat embossed it on one side, then flipped the vellum over and stamped it in dark green ink.  The sentiment is from Altenew.

To get the vellum to stick on the cardstock, I used a micro cot sheet from Simon Says Stamp. Tied on some green grosgrain ribbon and attached this to a dark green card base.

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care of yourself

Stay awesome my friend

Hello!  Playing in the Addicted to CAS challenge today. Code word this time around is Friendship.

The first card sentiment is from Altenew and the small I treasure our friendship is from Simon Says Stamp.  Concord & 9th peacock cardstock used on both cards. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

One layer Thinking of you card

Hello all. Playing in a few challenges today.

Stamps are from Concord & 9th. Flowers are from the wildflower fields stamps set and the sentiment is from uplifting thoughts set.  I used candied apple ink from Pink Fresh and versafine. This is a one layer card and I did stamp one of the flowers on the inside as you can see in the first photo. 

Linking this up to the Addicted to CAS one layer challenge and Just Us Girls color challenge.

Clean and simple Valentine card

Hello. I'm sharing a really quick, clean and simple Valentine's card with you.

It's a top folding 4 x 4 card with rounded corners. I used a little heart tag die from Papertrey, Ink backed with red cardstock. Tied a tiny gold bow onto it. Sentiment is also from a very old PTI set. 

Love the clean lines this has on it. Thanks for stopping by.

You're in my thoughts

Hello. Playing in the Addicted to CAS challenge of circle today.

Tree stamp is from Just for fun stamps. The sentiment is from WPlus9. I initially used a circle stencil to create the scene for a one layer card. However, I didn't like the sentiment I had stamped and it wasn't centered on the card base. I know, a little OCD of me but I just didn't like it. LOL. Saved the circle by cutting it out using two circle nesting dies from Spellbinders.

What do you think? Thanks for stopping by.

With sympathy

Hello. Here is another card that came about while playing with the new Villainous Potion distress ink.

Stamps are from My Favorite Things. I used bundled sage for the leaf stem on this. I inked up the stamps and spritzed with water onto watercolor paper. The flower is stamped twice. Sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Thanks for stopping by.

Autumn themed thinking of you

Hello. Playing in the Addicted to CAS challenge #207, which is Autumn.

Pumpkin and crow stamps are from Plum Purdy (they don't make stamps any more). I stamped the pumpkin in Honey Bee intense black ink (loving this ink) so that I could color it using Copic's. The small crow was stamped in versafine clair ink, then heat embossed so that I could fussy cut him out. I did pop him up for dimension on the card. The thinking of you sentiment is from Altenew.

Neenah cardstock used as the base and it's top folding. In hindsight, I think I should have embossed the pumpkin image as well so that the crow stood out more. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Thinking of you

Hello. Playing in the Addicted to CAS challenge of Leaf today.

The small leaf image is from The Stampin Place. I used Rubbernecker fuse inks to blend colors with a finger dauber onto it before stamping it. Sentiment is from WPlus9. Card base is a deep green.

ETA: also entering this into the AAA cards #198 challenge.

Get well soon

Hello. Playing in the Addicted to CAS challenge of nature today.

I picked up the skeleton leaves dies from momenta on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Cut them out using kraft cardstock and spritzed them with the new Tim Holtz Mica spays. 

Get well sentiment is from Mama Elephant and I used a embossing folder from Quickkutz on the white panel in the background. 

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
