Hi There!

 Freshly Made Sketches 138 

 I was "Queen of Clean" at FMS #138 

Card Ingredients: taylored expressions smallest and largest banner dies, Sizzix originals die flower layers 654979, Sizzix leaves, WPlus9 sentiment, pearls and button.


A simply fine sketch this week! I turned it ever so lightly to highlight the playful flowers. everything on my card is something that was previously made and unused til now. I can probably make 50 cards with my leftovers. The flowers and leaves were outlined with a white uni-ball pen.

BEE Happy!

 CASology 97 - BEE 

Good words to hold on to. Bees work awful hard to make us happy with pollinating and/or honey production. It's all good.

I've used a Sizzlits Bee die, PrintWorksCollection sentiment,  LifeStyleCrafts embossing folder, vellum wings and black sharpie for stripes and such.

Skinny Thank You

 MOJO MONDAY 347  - TALL AND SKINNY

Card Ingredients: Verve "Great Friend" set VSA-10-018, Quickutz circle die, Lifestyle Crafts embossing folder, 

What a sweet sketch Julee has presented for today. I made this card for a neighbor who often prepares a meal for us just because we love her cooking. It has a summery asian flair. I stamped the verve flower twice in brown ink and fussy cut. I added cinnamon stickles to the center. My card is 3.5" x 5.5"

Cherry Blossom Birthday

 CASology Week 96: FLOWER 

Springtime presents a most magnificent array of blossoms that make it easy to be inspired for spring birthday cards. I love making flowers. I wish that I had the patience to paint them. So, my compromise is to messily watercolor the center of the flower, the buds and the stenciled section (spritzed sponge). I'll try to be neater next time.

 Card Ingredients: Momenta "cherry blossom and branch" die, the Crafter's Workshop stencil, Memento London fog ink and liquid pearls for buds and stamen tips. 

The stamen is a snowflake punch by Punch Bunch.

EAT CAKE

We're already at Game 3 for AAA Cards and today we are CAS CASEing!

Here is Linda Beeson's wonderfully vibrant and graphic Birthday card. 

I was inspired by Linda's theme and the colors. 

Her bright and festive card just screams party!

I die cut "eat cake" out of striped designer paper with Sizzlits "Phrase" die and backed it with black and popped it up for dimension.

Show us your CAS take on Linda's card!

With Gratitude
