CFC153 - Gift Tags

It's time for a new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge and it's all about gift tags! I love making gift tags and the CAS-ual Fridays stamps give a great CAS style!

I used stamps from both Wallflower and WTF. I stamped the border stamp from Wallflower with Hero Arts Ombre Mint to Green ink and added the lined stamp from WTF in Versafine Onyx Black Ink then stamped the sentiment to make sure I had the right spacing (also in Onyx black) then finished it off with PPP sequins! The tag die is by Papertrey Ink.

Owls!

I found this stamp at my local scrapbook store - Scrapbook Centrale. It's by Prickley Pear a new company to me. I just feel in love with these sweet owls!

I stamped my image with Hot Fudge MFT hybrid ink and used an Altenew branch to extend it.  I cut masks out of full PostIts to mask the owls and leaves.  I used a mix of distress inks for the moon and the sky.  I then Copic coloured my owls and leaves and the shadows on the moon! The sentiment is by Lawn Fawn which I white embossed! The Wonky Frame is by Avery Elle.

Love this stamp!

Thanks for taking the time!

Simon Says Stamp!

I have been wanting this stamp set for a while!!! I was so excited when they introduced the matching dies which made it impossible for me not to order the set :) 

The Simon Says Flickr Challenge is all about colouring this week! For those of you that have heard and/or participated in the Kathy Racoosin 30-day colouring challenge, Simon Says Stamp has set the challenge theme in honour of her fun 30-day challenge. I have yet to be able to participate actively because this day job of mine makes it difficult for me to have time everyday even if it is simply to colour an image! LOL

I used my Copics for the flowers and leaves, I love to colour and Copics, Zig Clean Colour and my Prismacolor pencils are my favourite and yes, in that order.  I used the Spring Flowers SSS stamp set and the sentiment is from the SSS Big Birthday Wishes. The panel and banner are both from Avery Elle. I topped everything off with PPP sequins!

Thanks for taking the time!

CASual Fridays Challenge - CFC152: Tic Tac Toe

Welcome back to another fun CAS-ual Fridays Challenge! CFC152 is Tic Tac Toe! Here is my take on 1)Sequins 2) Shaped Card and 3)Metallics!

All of my stamps are from the CAS-ual Fridays Exclamations stamps set. I die cut two scalloped circles out of black cardstock and I die cut two dotted lines to frame the sentiment. I then used my embossing buddy to remove any static for my embossing powders.  I took out my WOW metallic's in Copper, Silver and Gold. I stamped and embossed my sentiment first in the silver then stamped my largest image and alternated powder colours and repeated with the medium and small images. I topped everything off with PPP sequins!

No line Copic Yellow Rose

I have been away for work, it was nice to get home and back to my favourite stress break! I have been practicing no-line colouring in different mediums. This one was coloured with Copics.

The rose is by a company called Deep Red it is a couple of years old and I though with the detail would be a good stamp to do no-line. The leaves are from a Mama Elephant set and the bold sentiment (which I love) is by My Favourite Things along with the hearts.

Quick post but I hadn't posted in a while and I really like the way this card turned out.

Thanks for taking the time!

CFC151 - Red, White and Blue!

Today marks a new Challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays! The challenge is to feature Red, White and Blue!

This card is my ode to my neighbour's to the south! Although, in Montreal Red, White and Blue is so important because it is the official colours of the Canadiens de Montreal our fantastic hockey team!  July 4th is fast approaching so I felt it appropriate to use stars and stripes.  The CAS-ual Fridays products I used for this card are from stamps: Bravo, Twinkle and In the cards and the Stars Fri-Dies.  For my american friends, Happy 4th! As for us Canadians today is Canada Day! Yay! Which also translates to a morning in my craft room!! lol
