Vintage Style

Hello All,

Today I will be playing along with The Card Concept, Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge, and Festive Friday. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

I am usually not one to create vintage cards but I had this patterned paper background and thought I would give it a whirl. I distressed the edges with DI Expresso and Tattered Rose.

The vintage layered die-cut flowers frame the sentiment nicely.
I chose the sentiment stamp because of its scripty feminine quality.

The wooden hearts are tinted with Tattered Rose DOI. 
I thought the hearts would add a nice touch and extra texture.

Autumn Scene

 Hello Everyone,

For today I will be playing along with Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge, CAS(E) this Sketch, Creative Knockouts, and Just Us Girls. Here is my card for today, enjoy!

The card started out with a kraft paper base. I stamped the plaid background while masking off the area for the trees. I took off the plaid mask, heat set, and masked off the plaid to stamp the trees. I took off the plaid mask, heat set, and masked off the plaid to stamp the trees.

The leaves were created using a combination of 'the baby wipe technique' and sponging using autumnal colors. I then die-cut the leaves and added them to the card.

This is one of the layered leaves I created using the same paper as the other leaves. I cut out the base of the leaf and then added two layers of white and the color layer for texture and dimension.

Keep Swimming!

Hello Everyone!

Let's try this a sixth time! You know what they say, 'sixth time's a charm'. UGH! For those of you who aren't aware I have tried numerous times to write this paragraph but Blogger isn't saving my work. So I put the paragraph in another program and saved it as a picture.  

Anyway, for today I will be playing along with Watercooler Wednesday, Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge, and yes, CASology. I will playfully plead my case later in this post. So, here is my card for today, enjoy! 

This a water die I got a couple of months ago. It comes with four dies which I layered to create the pool. I am going to bring my argument that indeed this is a CAS card. Why? Well, let's look at your guidelines. I will paste them here

1. One main image- The main image is the pool with the girl. I think it could count as one image because the subject goes together.
2. Lots of open space, uncluttered- YES! Lots of open space with one simple sentiment.
3. Limited layers & embellishments- Okay this is where it gets sticky. It does have layers but they are concentrated into one image, the pool does have a monochromatic color scheme and the outer layer is also the center of the pool thus eliminating a layer. 
4. Quick & easy to recreate: 10-15 minutes to create. Easy peasy. 

Mind you I do this in good fun and humor. Please don't take offense but I think I have made my case. Or should I say CAS? 

Simple sentiment for a simple card. It makes for a fantastic encouragement card. 

The center of the pool and the edging are both a very dark blue. It is hard to see in photos but in real life I promise it is blue 😉. The jumping girl is a die from Hero Arts July 2019 kit. Remember 2019?

Magical Rainbow

Hello Friends!

For today I am playing along with Paper Craft Crew, Just Us Girls, and Tic Tac Toe Challenges! Here is my card for today, enjoy!

When I was a little girl, my room's decor was ceiling to floor rainbow!
Even as a teenager, I kept the rainbow theme. So, it was no stretch to create a card with all these wonderful AND sparkly colors.

I am low on thank you notes and needed to replenish my stash. What better way to thank someone with lots of color.

The strips were a perfect way to use up my
ever so growing scrap paper. 

Challenges Entered:

Paper Craft Crew: PCC283- Sketch Challenge
Tic Tac Toe Challenge: #tttc038
I chose Rainbow/Sparkle/Die Cuts
Just Us Girls: Trend Week #431- Mythical or Magical

 
Well, that should do it for me!! Thank you so much for stopping by and do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me. We will see you soon. Take care and happy stamping.
