Happy Little Stampers August CAS Challenge (DT)

Hello everyone, I hope you had a good weekend.

It was exciting to see so many beautiful entries in the Happy Little Stampers July CAS stamping challenge!

Our technique for the month of August is Masking.  Please do check out the HLS challenge blog for inspiration.

For my DT card, I stamped and masked the bunny, stamped the bears and coloured with Chameleon pens, die cut the speech bubble and stamped the sentiment.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Brown Sugar Challenge - Animals

Crafts 4 Eternity - Anything Goes

Crazy 4 Challenges - Include the word 'Happy'

Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes

We look forward to seeing your creations using masking techniques and visiting your blogs.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog!

Addicted to CAS #24

Hi everybody, this is my DT card for the new challenge at Addicted to CAS. The codeword is TRANSPARENT which was chosen by the very talented Christine who is our hostess for the next two weeks.

Our generous sponsor is Nicecrane Designs and our Top Addict will receive a $20 gift certificate to spend at their online store.

I stamped the window frame twice in sepia Archival, one for the card and one to use as a mask by cutting the middle part out with a craft knife. After brushing on some blue ink for the sky I stamped the branch and pumpkins and coloured them using SU! markers and an aqua brush.

This card is for the following challenges:

CASology week 65: CRISP ("crisp Autumn day")
Crafts 4 Eternity #145: Clean and Simple
The Sisterhood of Crafters: Anything Goes

The DT have made such a fabulous variety of creative projects so please don't forget to check it out at the ATCAS challenge blog.

Thank you so much for looking and have a lovely weekend!

Handmade Flowers

Hello everybody, and a warm welcome to new member, Sandie.

I've made this card for Creative Card Crew, Challenge 34 - Handmade flowers. Inspiration is from Inkspirational which is a sketch challenge this week.

I used an old Martha Stewart punch and white card to punch the flowers, shaped using an embossing tool on an embossing/paper piercing mat and coloured them with some TH ink and an aqua brush.

Would also like to enter this as a second entry in Crafts 4 Eternity - flowers.

Thank you so much for looking in!

Muse #14 and Crafts 4 Eternity #120

Hi everyone, and a special hello to new members, Deepti and Anita.

The beautiful inspiration at Muse this week is by the talented Virginia Lu and here's my interpretation.

I've used various flower stamps by Stampin' Up! and sentiment by Clearly Besotted. Had lots of fun stamping this.

Would also like to enter this at Crafts 4 Eternity: Use lots of flowers.

Thank you for visiting and have a nice day!
