CASe this Sketch #263

Hello Everyone,

Today I am playing along with CASe this Sketch. I love this simple graphic sketch. Well, recently I have been bitten by the alcohol ink bug and I had a few backgrounds kicking around on my craft table. I love creating these backgrounds, but then I find myself not wanting to use them because I like them so much! When I saw this sketch I knew I wanted to use one of these backgrounds. Here is my card:

I made this background with a darker blue and aqua coloured alcohol inks - I love the colour saturation. I chose this Memory Box die because I have been craving daisies - it is the Tilth Floral die. I added a simple sentiment banner - can’t remember the stamp set I used. I love the simplicity and the way this card turned out.

Thanks for stopping by; please feel free to leave a comment - I love the feedback!

Happy Stamping,

Muse #257

Hello Everyone,

Here is this week’s Muse card by the Uber-talented Tracy McNeely. I love the simplicity of the cluster of flowers balanced by the simple sentiment. Here is my card:

I switched the orientation from portrait to landscape, but the idea of a cluster of flowers balanced with a simple sentiment was what I was going for. I coloured my little daisies with my Zigs and blended the colours with my Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen - it is very sparklicious in real life. The flowers are from a very old Annabelle Stamps stamp set; I don’t have the name of it even. The sentiment is from the Birch Press Designs set called “Just Because”. Here is a close-up of the sparkle on the flowers.

It is much sparklier in real life - hard to capture on the camera! Thanks for stopping by - please feel free to leave a comment; I love to get the feedback!

Happy Stamping,

CASology: Bug!

Hello Everyone,

This week the cue card at CASology is: Bug! Now I will admit I was a little stumped since I don’t really have any bug related stamps. When I was in my craft room labelling and storing some new stampsets, I had an epiphany. I may be taking some liberties with my interpretation of  “bug”, but I think it works. Here is my card:

Maybe I am stretching the theme a little with this card, but I think my reference to a snail qualifies :) This is a new set from Gina K called “Stuffed with Love”. It is a great little stamp set. I coloured the little envelope and hearts with my Zig Clean Colours and added some shimmer with my Nuvo Aqua pen. Here is a closer look at how shimmery this is in real life.

A very simple CAS card - hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment - I love the feedback!

Happy Stamping,
