Less is More - Stencil

Another fun challenge is starting today over at Less is More!  This week our code word is Stencil!

So many fun options with this code word.  I was torn between doing something inky or using molding paste!  Hope you have time to come on over and play along!

Here's my take on the challenge!

I started by using my newest stencil with my favorite distress ink colors.

I then stamped and cut my main image and colored him with copic markers.

I added a few splatters (with my stamp--I do like control :))  Then added my sentiment!






I enjoyed making this card, that I ended up making another one with similar colors and theme...

Same idea for this card, only instead of the black splatters, I adhered some stars to add a bit of sparkle.

Addicted to CAS - Aloha

Wow, time is really flying by it is nearly the middle of June!  Lots of fun on the courts with the husband. Just the perfect time of year!



We have another challenge over at Addicted to CAS!  The theme for the challenge is Aloha!  Which is just the perfect way to welcome the summer!

Come on over and join in as you will have the opportunity to win a gift certificate to Stamplorations!

Here's my take on the theme...

I started by making my sand with distress ink, then masked that off and inked up my ocean, then sky. I stamped and colored the images using my copics, then decided to use the inlaid die technique to make it more mail friendly!

I added a bit of molding paste to the sand to give a bit of an impression of the water spraying.

I stamped the sentiment in the left corner and the little birds...and that was it!

CAS on Sunday Sketch Challenge

A bit of a soggy weekend so far!  While we need the rain, I'm hoping for a little break sometime this week so I can hit the courts with my husband!




There is another challenge going on over at CAS on Sunday.  Check out this fun sketch!  Come on over a check out some inspiration from the Design Team, then load up your card.  We would love to see what you come up with!  The winner is invited back as a guest designer!

Here's my take on the sketch:

I started by stamping, die cutting and coloring my penguin---just love this guy!

I then cut my color strips and my "Happy Birthday" sentiment.

A final sentiment stamp at the very bottom and a quick, but colorful card!
