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!

Less is More - Splatters

I had a bit of a mishap on my bicycle yesterday, where I ran over a screw!  It was so long and deep that I was unable to just change out the tube and continue with my ride as it punctured it's way into the rim....thanks husband for stopping your tennis game to come and get me stranded by the side of the road!

The good news is that we have another challenge starting today at Less is More!  This week our theme is Splatters!  We received these terrific stencils from Stamplorations to use just for this challenge.  They are so fun. Here's my take on the challenge...





I started by using distress inks to ink up my banner, after creating a mask.  I then masked the banner and inked up my splatters.  I then heat embossed my sentiment, careful to make sure my distressed ink was dry!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Purple

Trying to get back into the grove after a long relaxing weekend and fighting off this bit of a cold.  It was fun hanging out with the husband and enjoying the nice weather over the long weekend!

There is another challenge this week at Less is More #279.  This week we are celebrating Purple! One of my favorite colors!

Here is my take on the challenge.  Can't wait to see what you come up with...come on over and join the fun.  You may even win a gift certificate for Stamplorations!







I started by stamping my flower images on watercolor cardstock.  I then used distressed ink to watercolor my flowers.

Then simply stamped my sentiment. A fun and easy card!

Happy Birthday Gina!

I'm trying to get over a bit of a head cold...super annoying to get sick right when the weather is beautiful!  Anywho, my husband is making me rest for a few days....dang....no bike riding or tennis for the last two days....I'm going a bit stir crazy!

At least this gives me a bit of time to catch up on some card making.  My friend Gina is having a birthday and she just loves cats!  I just received this stamp and though it would be perfect for her!




I didn't want to do too much with this card, since I really wanted to focus on the coloring main image.  I stamped the image and used my copics.

I then added a few inlaid die hearts to give it a little extra something.

Happy birthday Gina!

CAS on Sunday - Sparkle/Bling

A bit of a heat wave here, just getting ready for the summer.  The new room is coming together with a few pieces of furniture already in place.  Now it is the moving in time....

We have another challenge over at CAS on Sunday.  Our theme for this challenge is Sparkle or Bling. What a fun challenge, so many different ways to go with this one.  Hope you come on over and play along!  

Here's my take on the challenge, can't want to see what you come up with...

My friend Claudia is getting married and this card was made for her.  

I started by stamping the wedding cake and coloring it with copics.  I then stamped some hearts around the cake and added some sparkle around the hearts...little stars and circles. 

I then added a bit more sparkle to the sentiment at the bottom.  I have been using a lot of inlaid die technique for a smooth surface!

Less is More - Sketch

It's been a busy week, but hopefully the long weekend will be a bit relaxing!  New dishwasher is installed and wow, technology has changed over the last 10 years, this one is really quiet!  Thanks husband!




Today we have a new challenge over at Less is More!  It is time for a sketch!  Always loves these challenges!  Here's the sketch---looking forward to seeing what you come up with!


Here's my take on the challenge....





I know that we are a bit early from Christmas, but I couldn't resist!  This was such a fun card to make---and pretty simple as well.

I stamped and colored my elf with Copic Markers.  Added the little sentiment, and then cut the red cardstock.  I added a few silver stars to the white space as it was a bit too empty!
