Color Block Silhouette Card

For a while, I've been wanting to try the masking and color blocking technique Pam did on this card, but never got a chance to.  Just last week, CAS-ual Friday came out with Color Blocks challenge, i knew this is when i should try the technique.  As i was halfway done masking, i saw this template by the super talented JJ Bolton.  Thank you, JJ!.  I immediately abandoned my masking and started a new card.  I cut out the template using my Cameo.  I saved the cut out pieces and colored them with different colors.  Then inlay them back in the frame.  The sentiment is from PTI set Birthday Bash Sentiments

Here's my card.  Thanks for visiting!

I submitted this card to few challenges:

• Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop
• CFC126
• CAS(E) This Sketch #61

Pink Shaker Birthday Card

Good morning!

I hope you have a warm and cozy Saturday morning.  It's sunny and shine here in Charleston, South Carolina.  The temperature is 25 degrees, but with high humidity, it feels like 10... burr.

Today, I'm sharing a shaker card made for few challenges.  I used the lovely flower stamp from the set Botanical Silhouette, other PTI sets are Fabulous Frames, and Bigger Blooms.  I stamped the sentiment in black ink, then stamped it again, offset, with Fresh Ink Pool. 

Here's my card.  Thanks for stopping by.  I really appreciate your visit and comments.  Have a wonderful day!

Hello everyone, hope you've had a wonderful weekend.  

This weekend, i took my sons to Folly Beach see Morris Island light house.  The light house was built on a small island/sand bar in 1767, now completely surrounded by water due to changing current and erosion.  There's a fund raising project to save the light house.  You can read more about it here.  My sons were very excited to go because it said that some people found shark teeth at the end of Folly Island.  We geared up with toy buckets and shovels, but didn't get any luck.  We found some nice shells though.  Here's a picture with the light house in the background:

Lately, I've been busy cutting stencils on my Silhouette Cameo.  Actually, cutting stencil is the only thing I've been doing with it... it's getting a bit addicting.  Today, I'm giving away some of the stencils i have.  Here are the list: Heart, Quatrefoil, Random Dots, Random Hexagon, Random Triangle, Sun Burst, Tea Stain, Triangles, Chevron, Circles Stripes, and Tweed.  

If you are interested, please be a follower of my blog and list the name of the 5 stencils would like to have in your comment.  I will randomly draw 2 lucky winners, each will receive 5 stencils.  You have until midnight EST of 10/26 to enter.  Winners will be announced on Monday, 10/27.  Make sure to book mark this post, I'll update this post with the winners.  

Please come over to Jennifer's blog to check out the gorgeous card she made with tweed stencil.

Thank you for stopping by.  Hope you have a wonderful week!
