CAS Mix Up Challenge - November 2020 - Off the Edge - Sunflower

Hello Friends,

Today's post is an extra card I made for the CAS Mix Up Challenge for November which is to design Off the Edge and Water colouring must be the main element of your design. 

I started by smooshing the Water colour paper with Daffodil Delight and Cinnamon Cider inks.  I stamped the Sunflower with Versamark and used Zing Mustard E/Powder for my Sunflower image and then water coloured using Markers.  The Leaves where stamped and embossed with Zing Leaf E/Powder and then water coloured.  The bee was stamped with Stazon Black, coloured and finished with a Wink of Stella Clear Brush.  The Sentiment piece was smooshed with ink and then stamped and I added some Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.  I stamped another Sunflower on the inside and water coloured.

Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge - #16 - Slimline Holiday Card

 Hi friends,

Today's card is for the Stay Crafty with Hero Challenge #16 to make a Slimline Holiday Card.  I used Stampin' Up's Coming Home and White Christmas card sets with matching dies.  I water coloured the images and applied Wink of Stella to the roof of the middle house and Gelly Roll pen to the Hubcaps on the Car, Headlights and Bumper.  The little Wreath was Fussy Cut around the outside edges and water coloured and when it was dry I used a Black Fine Tip Pen to draw lines to match the ones on the Gable Roof in it's center so it appears to have been cut in the center too.  For the background I sponged Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, stamped the Lamp Post and the Trees.  The inside was finished with some more trees, a Car and the Sentiment.


Great to see you here today, hope you have a wonderful day.
Hugs,

AAA Birthday Cards #17 - Animals and Critters - Let's Play

 Hi Friends,

Playing along at AAA Birthday Cards today and the theme is Animals and Critters.  I used the Pampered Pets Stamp Set and Dies from S/U.  I stamped the dogs with Basic Grey and then water coloured them with Basic Grey and Smokey Slate, adding Real Red for the dogs Collars and a touch of pink on one of the Ears.  I then die cut them, embossed the white mat and popped the dogs up on dimensionals. The Happy die cut was cut 3 times and mounted together and the Birthday is stamped on Smokey Slate with Foam Tape added for some dimension.  I finished off with the Metallic Heart Enamel Shape on the collar of one of the dogs and the 2 bowls were stamped and coloured on the inside.

Great to see you here today, I love to read your comments.
