Less is More - Real Objects

Getting ready to head off to a tennis tournament!  Looking forward to a day of lots of tennis! Hope it doesn't get too hot!

We have another challenge starting today over at Less is More!  Our theme for this challenge is Real Objects!  Just add an object to your card...but remember to still keep it CAS!

Here's my take on the challenge...

I love this little bunny!  After stamping him out and coloring him with copics, I added a bit of foam tape.

I sponged a bit of distress ink on this card base and added a bit of water to give it some slight texture.  I added the sentiment and gave it a bit of dimension with foam tape.

My real object is the stars I added around the bunny!

Here's a close up of my card!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

CAS on Friday - One Layer Card

Well the summer is flying by...seems that the kids are back in school!  Thus, we have more opportunity to get tennis courts :)

We have another challenge starting at CAS on Friday!  Our theme for this challenge is one of my favorites...a One Layer Challenge.  I really do like these cards, so challenging.  Here's my take on the challenge.


I used this Stamping Bella image and colored it with Copics.  I added the sentiment and done!

For me the coloring is relaxing, so these one layer cards are just perfect for me to relax and color away!

Here's a close up of the card.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Perfect Holiday

It's been a busy week, but we are back to our normal schedule...a bit of tennis with the husband continues to be my weekly bonus!

We have another challenge starting over at Less is More!  Our theme for this week is Perfect Holiday. Lots of opportunities here...I decided to focus on Christmas, since is is already the middle of August and I've gotta start making a few Christmas cards to avoid the year end crush!

Here's my take on the challenge...

For this card, I stated by stamping my Santa image and using the partial die cut method.  Love this technique!  I then colored my Santa with Copics.  I added a bit of snow to my grey card stock with molding paste.  Then stamped and cut out the sentiment in the form of a speech bubble.  Fun card and pretty quick too!

Here is a close up of the card...hard to see the dimension, but I did pop up the Santa on foam tape!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Friends

Can't believe that it is already the middle of August...wow, where does the time go?

We have another challenge starting today at Addicted to CAS.  Our challenge for this week is Friends.  I picked this theme as I love making cards and sending them off to friends.  Also, I'm excited to work with a variety of stamps and this theme allows me to do that.

Here's my take on the challenge...





I simply stamped the main image on card stock.  Colored it with Copics and added the sentiment.  I find the hardest part of coloring is picking my colors and once that is done, the actual coloring is pretty quick.  I added a bit of Wink of Stella to the candles as a final touch!

Here's a close up of the card.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Vehicles

Another fun week of tennis and outdoor activities.  Just love this summer weather!

Remember, I have a giveaway happening now---check it out here!

We have another challenge starting today at Less is More.  Our theme for this challenge is a One Layer Card and Vehicles.  I was thinking of going with cars, but then decided on a camping theme. Here's my take on the challenge...

I started by stamping and masking my images.  I then used distressed ink to add the background, then used my copics to color the main images.  In the end, pretty quick and simple.

Here's a close up of the card.  You can see it has no dimension, so it will be easy to mail.

Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

CAS on Friday - Birthday

We have a new challenge starting over at CAS on Friday!  Our theme for this week is Birthday!  Just perfect as we are moving into the busy birthday season for our family.

Remember, I have a giveaway happening now---check it out here!

Here's my take on the challenge.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

For my main image, I stamped this cute guy and masked him.  I then added a few balloons!  I colored him with Copic markers.  I then thought this fun sentiment from Penny Black would go nicely so I cut it out and used my distress inks to add a bit of an ombre effect!

I really wanted to add a bit of Wink of Stella, but thought as a masculine card, that might be a bit too much!

Here's a close up of the card.  You can see I added a bit of foam tape to the sentiment to make it pop.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
