WCMD - CASEing Gayatri

Hello!

I'm here with another card for World Card Making Day and joining in with Winnie & Walter's WCMD celebrations. Lydia has invited us to choose a Winnie & Walter designer to CASE.

I chose to CASE Gayatri, because she ALWAYS inspires me. You can find the card I'm CASEing on Gayatri's blog HERE. From Gayatri's card I took the light coloured stamping in the background, the vellum, a floral arrangement as focal point, sequins, and a banner sentiment.

Because I don't yet own any Winnie & Walter stamps I used PTI Doodlie-Do and Building Blocks stamps and dies. The banner is Mama Elephant.

School holidays are over. Today we launch into the final term of the year. Only 9 weeks until Summer holidays and so much to do in that time!

Thank-you for visiting!

WCMD - Rainbow Backgrounds

Hello!

For my next card World Card Making Day I have taken inspiration again from the Winnie & Walter WCMD celebrations.

This card was inspired by three of my stops along the W&W WCMD journey:
1 Rainbow Colour with Gayatri - who can resist a rainbow? Certainly not me!
2 Leading Lady Maya Isaksson - oh my! I fell in love with all of Maya's cards with the stamps in black and white and the colourful backgrounds!
3 Background Building with Shay - Shay built a variety of backgrounds to start us on our way, and they're all fabulous!

I used Altenew Striped Florals and PTI Scripted stamps. I stamped the sentiment and main flower on a vellum panel and created a black frame. I created my rainbow with Derwent Inktense pencils.

It was a bit difficult to photograph this one. With the right light for the black embossing, I lost all my colour. With the right light for the colour, my black went funny. Here's another view.

I'm also linking up to Happy Little Stampers October CAS Challenge - embossing on vellum.

Thanks for dropping by to visit!

WCMD - Pinspiration Focal Point

Hello!

Winnie & Walter are having the most fabulous celebration of World Card Making Day and they've invited us to join in the fun. The good news is that we don't need to use W&W products to take part. I have a wishlist as long as my arm of W&W products but have not yet made my first purchase. I must rectify this problem soon!

I am going to join in a few of the challenges because they're all fabulous. This one is in response to Heather's Pinspiration.

I used Altenew Hennah Elements and coloured with Copics.

This is the gorgeous pinspiration that reminded me that yellow, black, and white is one of my very favourite colour combinations.

While I was still full of this inspiration, I made a second card, and this one I'm also entering into Virginia's View Challenge 24 where the theme is "focal point".

I used SU! Celebrate Today stamps and dies. 

I'm also entering this into CAS-ual Friday's Shaker Card challenge. This is my second ever shaker card. When I made the first one for my nephew last week my eldest daughter requested one for her birthday, too. :-)  My daughter turns 14 on Wednesday. I can't believe she's 14 already!

Thank-you for visiting!
