Green

Had a few minutes before taking my daughter swimming, so decided to act upon the idea that just came to me!
I am playing retro sketches #157 and Addicted to CAS 'Green' challenges.

The idea for this card has come from this awesome card by Ardyth Percy-Robb of Maskerade!

I masked off the card topper and inked the edges with Timholtz distress ink 'Crushed olive' and Memento 'Pear Tart'. 

Wanted a bold sentiment so I added my favourite one from Hampton Arts.

Have a great evening!

Little spring flower

Hi!
I am playing the Simon Says Stamp flickr challenge#15 (Spring/Easter) with this card.

The card is simple…the wood grain background from Stampin' Up, the flower and leaf cluster from W+9, and the sentiment from Simon Says stamp.

P.S., the small square is a left over from the shaker tag birth announcements I made last week!!!

Thanks for stopping by…

Have a good day!

Sparkle!

Hey there!
I am playing the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday#206 Stamping and mixing patterns challenge today!

For this card, I used stamps from the PTI Sparkle & Shine stamp set to create the patterns. 

I am particularly thrilled about the sequin stamps…they look gorgeous…I did some send generation stamping too so the stamped sequins have a slightly soft look.

And my biggest triumph with this card is the Sparkle die cut! 

I  heat embossed the die cut with gold embossing powder..twice..hence the beautifully smooth and melted gold finish! And it matches the gold embossed patterned paper too!! YAY!!

I just love this technique!

To finish, I added sequins which I received as a freebie when I ordered stamps from Winnie and Walter!

As you can gather, I am terribly excited about this card…hope it inspires you too!

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Another card for RIC#80

I just love this challenge from Runway Inspired Challenges, so I made another card.

The background is inked with tim Holtz distress inks…Black Soot and Evergreen Bough.

The roses are from Stampendous and the sentiment from My favourite things.

Have a great day!
