Less is More Challenge - Week 181 Theme - Singin' in the rain!

For my card this week, I decided to choose "Raindrops". Using one of my favourite stamp sets, together with one of my favourite colour combinations, I stamped and coloured my flowers, and then punched them out using the coordinating punch. The leaves were stamped and then cut out using the matching framelit.

I added Pearls to the centre of my flowers to finish them off. Then using Crystal Effects I created my "raindrops".

A sentiment was stamped on to the centre of my card using the coordinating ink.

Addicted to CAS Challenge #43 - Celebrate

I'm loving shaped card bases at the moment, so decided to use my Window Frames Collection Framelits to make the base and the raised centre topper.

I stamped out three flowers and coloured them in using my blendabilities, these were finished with a pearl in the centre.

Using the matching Rich Razzleberry Ink I stamped my sentiment on to the centre of my topper, raised this up on 3D pads, and then arranged my flowers around the bottom edge.

Less is More Challenge -  Week 180 - One Layer Card - Adapt A Fingerprint

A nice messy challenge this week, just don't put your fingers in the wrong place!! I wanted to make my fingerprints look like birds, so decided I would make a new home card. 

I stamped my swirl across the top of the card to give somewhere to hang my bird house. The swirl and thread stamps I used to hang my bird house are from Stampin' Up!, but I don't know the names of the sets. I added an extra bird "fingerprint" on the inside to carry the theme through.

Less is More Challenge -  Earth Tones

Earth Tones are not my normal "go to" colours, but I really enjoyed this challenge. I stamped directly on to the base of my card, and then cut an aperture in to my top piece of card, and added my sentiment. I continued my flower theme inside of my card by stamping the largest flower on to the bottom left corner.

I stamped and punched out a small butterfly, added some pearls for its body, then stuck this inside the aperture.

Less is More Challenge -  WATERCOLOUR

Lovely challenge this week.... a chance to get my watercolour paints out again, something I love using!!

I shaped my card base by using the largest Window Frame Collection Die, and then echoed the shape by piercing a matching border round the edge of my card.

My stamp is "Crossing Bridges" by Penny Black, and was coloured in with watercolour paints. I stamped my sentiment on to a scrap of card and made a small banner. Pearls were used to finish off my design.

CAS.ology  Week 97: BEE

I have been having lots of fun trying out different shaped card bases lately, and decided to use another one for this weeks "Bee" challenge.

I found one of my Penny Black stamps that had a bee on it, then stamped and coloured it in. I made my sentiment up by using a set of alphabet dies, cutting out the letter's  B - DAY. I added a peel off for the word "Happy".  

I stamped just the bee to the inside of my card, and coloured it in.
