CAS on Friday - Die

Another beautiful week, it seems like spring here.  I'm not quite ready for this warm weather and hoping for a bit more winter before it is over.  Anyways, it does give us plenty of time to hit the beach and courts!

We have another challenge starting today over at CAS on Friday.  Our theme for this challenge is Die. Simply use a die cut image on your card.

Here's my take on the challenge...

I simply stamped my flower images on card stock.  I added a few other images around in a light grey color.

I then stamped my sentiment and used the inlaid die technique for the birthday sentiment.  I like using inlaid die as it is easy for mailing and it feels like I'm putting together a puzzle.

Here's a bit of a close up, where you can see the inlaid die a bit better.

Looking foward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Overstamping

I'm taking the day off tennis...a little too much in the last several weeks.  I need to rest these old bones :)

We have another challenge starting today over at Less is More.  Our theme for this week is Overstamping.  Lots of opportunity here...you can use layer stamps or just stamp over other stamped images.  I don't own any layer stamps so I took another route.  Here's my take on the challenge...






This was a quick and easy card.  I simply stamped my main images with Pigment Ink, then stamped the sentiment in black pigment ink.  Super simple!

Here's a close up of the image.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Pedals

Busy week this week...finished painting the room and the furniture was delivered...life is good!  In addition, a bit of visiting with friends and lots of tennis!


We have another challenge starting today over at Addicted to CAS. This week the theme is Pedals...so fun and lots of options here.

Hope you can join us, there is a chance to win a gift certificate to QKR Stampede!

Here's my take on the challenge!

For this card, I heat embossed the main image on watercolor paper with white embossing powder. I used distress ink to watercolor the flower. Then matted the image on cardstock and popped it up on foam tape.

As a final step, I added the sentiment below the image.
