New Challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays - CFC155

Happy Friyay!!! My first week back to work after a months vacation... I was happy to come back but I must say the "getting back into it" was difficult! So I am happy for a new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge - CFC155 and the theme is Black, White +1(color of your choice). I have also found that getting my card mojo back has been difficult after being away, lol!

I started by trimming a white panel (Neena 80lbs) and using Abandoned Coral Distress Ink all over. I then cut the panel at ban angle and stamped the Bravo sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black Ink. I die cut my flowers (4 petal Fri-Dies) in a variety of white, black glitter paper and a black and white stripe. I then stamped my striped background put everything together and added my petals and some sequins!

Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge!

I have been on vacation for the last couple of weeks and I have been taking a blog break as well! Not planned but lots of travel and seeing family and friends! Here is a quick card that I made for the current Simon Says Stamp Flickr Challenge - Embossing!

I used my copper embossing powder, I have always loved the finish but now I want to get my hands on some rose gold embossing! So pretty and it is on my wish list!  I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush pens with the Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Ranunculus set. I fussy cut the leaves and Ranunculi? (not sure lol) then laid out my flowers and leaves to stamp the remaining background "fillers".  I embossed the sentiment with he same powder on black cardstock put it all together and added Pretty Pink Posh sequins :)

Thanks for taking the time!!

CFC154 - Time to Color!

It's time to color over at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!!! I love to color, my favourite mediums are Copics, Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens and Prismacolor Pencils! I used my Prismacolor on Kraft for this one and I love the way it turned out!

I adore the Pretty Posies stamp set! I thought using the flowers and outlining them in white would really feature the beautiful design of the flowers and leaves.  The sentiment is from Calling All Sistahs, this, I must say, is one of the reasons I love CAS-ual Fridays stamps. There is an underlining "support your ladies" theme for all of Michelle's sets of which I am a big fan.  Most of the cards I make for my best girlfriends have CAS-ual Friday's sentiments. Let's face it we all need encouragement in one way or another at certain points in our lives. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black ink and outlined it freehand in white pencil to emphasize it. This card will go in the mail to a friend who lives far away but is facing a difficult decision.

Tim Holtz Dog Crazy - Loki

I have been away on vacation over the last few weeks. I have had a wonderful time with family, friends and some fun travel. Always nice to re-charge the batteries before the start of another year of intense work! So, I took a little bit of a blog break.  I was so excited to pick-up this fantastic Dog Crazy set by Tim Holtz and start playing! 

I am in-love with these "Crazy" sets by Tim Holtz. This is a birthday card for my best guy friend and it's his dog Loki :)  I paired Loki with the Crazy Accessories also by Tim Holtz, everything is coloured with Copics. The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp set, I wanted a small sentiment so the focus could all be on the dog!!

Thanks for taking the time!!
