one more...

One more for today...I was sooo taken back by the entries for this week's CAS challenge! There were so many unusual color combos! Then I noticed the challenge over at CAS-ual Friday was to use opposite colors on the color wheel! No wonder! SO I had to get busy and make another one...and I love this week's sketch so here is another for CAS166 and one for CFC48.

I pulled out all my still wood mounted SU stamps and while trying to organize them, I figured I'd play! I just loved the flowers in these 2 sets and they go together so well!

supplies:

stamps- SU fifth ave floral, embrace life, PTI- signature greetings

paper- PTI white, pure poppy, hawaiian shores, aqua mist

ink- versafine black

accessories- ribbon, stickles

CAS166 Sketch Challenge!

This is for the Clean and Simple challenge on SCS this week...a fabulous sketch from our own Mary! I LOVE this sketch, so simple and so versatile!

My first is just 2 flowers stacked up with some felt and a button. I made a bunch of these and have them in a baggie for when I need a quickie embellishment!

This next one is a special one for my niece! She is having a Mickey and Minnie birthday party this year! So fun! This was a die I picked up in the clearance bin at Michaels from Cuttlebug. I cut the bow by hand.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

CFC46 Name that Tune!

Hi everyone! I am still trying to organize my craft space but while I do I have been trying to get back to doing at least one challenge a day! Today, I am finally getting around to the CAS-ual Friday challenge (just squeaking it in!)...To be inspired by a song CFC46! I was inspired by "Born to Be Wild," by Steppenwolf....The most perfect Motorcycle riding song! Yea...that is totally the song I have in my head while riding on the back of my Hubby's Harley! LOL

Thanks for stopping by and RIDE ON!

supplies:

stamps- Close to My Heart, SU tire tracks wheel

Paper- Stampin Up

Ink- Versafine Black Onyx, Ranger distress inks

CAS164 Spotlighting!

This is for the Clean and Simple Challenge this week on SCS. This week's challenge is a technique challenge...SPOTLIGHTING! One of my favorites! This first one is a real CAS, lots of white space and the spotlighting in a circle in the center. I added some stickles for a little shine.

This one may be a stretch on CAS a bit because of the busy background but it's still the one stamp. I also made the card smaller by a 1/2 inch widthwise so the sentiment strip would still fit in the envelope! I also made the spotlighting part a heart shape just to change it up a bit.

Thanks for stopping by!

recipe:

stamps- DRS designs

cardstock- Papertrey ink
