CASEplorations...24..7

 

Hi there, for  March we are CASEing the very talented.....

Loll THOMPSON from stampingwithloll

Ok now to be honest, I have trouble CASEing cards.. I procrastinated about this so much...

so in the end I chose just to use the colour combo that Loll had used of the Gold, Red and Green.

 

I used the ARTPlorations Stencil- SHUTTERS as my background sponging in Distress Ink.

Then I stamped the Bees Knee's Houses onto patterned paper and coloured the roof tops with my copics.

 

I also added a Tim Holts Die - Thinlets. I cut this first out onto the card, backed it with green card and then cut it out again with Gold card so I can put back in the numbers 24.7.

extras were  Lawn Fawn Die and "for you" sentiment from the THANKYOU sentiment Builders 

Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog HERE to see how the what the other girls created...

STAMPlorations-#5 Inspiration Round up

Hey There, rounding out the month of February with a card for STAMPlorations using the gorgeous...

BLOOM SKETCHES - DAISY 1

 I embossed the daisy with white embossing powder and then did quite a heavy colouring of Distress Inks plus I flicked a small amount of water to give a splatter look on the background card.

I then used a water brush filled with water to remove the colour from inside the Daisy's.

This take a little while to do as you cant apply to much water  all you may remove the background colour as well if it seeps thru.

 You can check out the Inspiration Posts HERE and we invite you to CASE one of our cards and link it up to the Inspiration CASE Playground.

one and only...

Hi there, here is another card using  Bird Crazy Stamps from Tim Holtz.

This one just had to have a hat..., looks pretty dapper doesn't he!

 Background is Dylusions Sprays and "Mr Bird" is coloured with Copics.

Sentiment Die is from MFT and teamed up with patterned paper from Kaiser.

 It's always hard to find that perfect birthday card for a male and I think these birds have just right quirkiness to use.

I am entering  this card into the..

Purple Onion Designs

Hi there,weekend is here and we have some gorgeous weather in the West Aus to enjoy it with, although my fellow Aussies in Queensland have had cyclones and heavy rain.. Hope everyone is keeping safe and dry..

Today I used 2 stamps from....

  "Purple Onion Designs.
 Peep & Doodle Frame - Heart
To give the card some softness I cut a piece of rectangle Vellum and placed over my card base. I used my sewing machine to add stitching to  my Copic coloured images main piece and after die cutting some hearts with vellum I then stitched them over the top.
I stamped my sentiment around the edge.
