Reach For The Stars

A quick CAS card today.  Star background was stamped using a stencil.  I coloured the stamped image with promarkers, fussy cut and attached with foam pads.

Thoughts of you...

 

 

I am still trying to master the CAS style of card designs after years of throwing everything onto my cards. 

Here is another one that I think has too much on it, mainly the flower lace, but it needed something there.  I made my navy layer shape by cutting around the coaster on my desk which was a teapot stand once.  It was just the right size.  I used a very old stamp for the sentiment and inked around the edges of my mat with the ink pad.  The die cut butterfly was cut years ago using a friends die which I inked over to make it the right colour.  I then glued it to parchment and embossed it.  Having attached it I added the gems.

Poppies

Normally I just cut a die and stick it on my card but I thought I would try something new by layering it.  I also tried inking through a stencil for the background using distress ink.  The sentiment stamp was a magazine freebie and although they don't look ,the little die cut butterflies are dark brown.

I am really pleased with how this card turned out.

Party Time!

Yay!  Made it to day 7 of the Bugaboo Birthday Bash Challenge.  My starry design paper is from Polkadoodles and is just gorgeous.  I have coloured my digi stamp with promarkers, chalk, crystal glaze, glitter glue and added some stamped foliage.  My sentiment stamp is a magazine freebie and I have made it into a rosette with various dies.  I also embossed stars onto the tails of it.  The tiny stars on the sentiment is the waste from a die.

Pretty Cow

Using the above sketch I started my card by matting and layering with navy cardstock and design paper from Nitwits.  I then added some new spotty washi tape.  I found some scenic paper in my stash which I have used behind my new digi stamp which I coloured with promarkers and fussy cut.  I added a die cut sun.  The tag stamps are from LOTV, fussy cut and a brad added.  A couple of pearl gems finishes the card.

White Christmas

This die card was made using a friend's scenic house die placed onto a navy card base.  The hills were torn out and put in place with die cut deer tucked in behind.  A tree, moon and sentiment with a lot of glitter glue and a tiny gem finishes this snowy scene off.

Don't Look...

Hopefully this card will give you all a bit of a laugh!

I coloured my digi stamp with promarkers and added crystal glaze to his eyes.  Before attaching my image with foam pads I put a punched and scored panel of card behind adding some brads.  The lovely wood design paper is from The Works.  A bit of recycled twine with a computer generated sentiment and a couple of peel-off horseshoes placed on top finishes it off nicely.

It's Your Birthday

 

 

Day 4 of the Bugaboo Birthday Bash challenge is a Bingo board.  I have gone diagonal using Ticket/Bugaboo Image/3 Layers for my card.

Following the lovely sketch I went for nice bright colours with gorgeous papers I found at Polkadoodles  some cupcake ribbon from my stash.  I also found some old ticket style sentiments in my stash and coloured mine with a promarker pen.

My digi stamp has also been coloured with promarkers and a bit of chalk.  I added some die cut clouds and a bit of crystal glaze.

Rustic Wall Decor

I have tried to make something different this time.

For weeks I have had the empty plastic inner from a roll of d/s tape sitting on my desk so thought I would recycle it into something to hang on the wall.  I covered the reel with a scrap of ribbon.  My digi image is coloured with promarkers.  The paper rust coloured paper flowers, gem and twine are from my stash and the leaves punched.

Bugaboo Birthday Bash Day 2

As you can see Day 2 is a sketch challenge.  The papers and sentiment I have used are very old ones from LOTV.  I flipped a second image so I had two pretty cows which I coloured with promarkers.  A paper flower and a few gems and the card is finished.
