CAS(E) this sketch! #109

I made this card for CTS #109 and began by using a piece of leftover background paper I had made in a class I taught. I stamped and heat embossed the butterfly and then die cut. The left side of the front panel I attached SU! daffodil delight and designer paper. After attaching the butterfly with mounting tape I stamped the sentiment. I used a gelly roll pen on parts of the butterfly.

Paper - Staples white card stock, SU! Daffodil Delight cs,  DD dsp, snippet of background paper

Stamp and Die cut - MFT "Winged Beauties"

Other - Gelly roll pen, mounting tape, Versafine, embossing powder

CASology Cue Card: HOT Week 132

This card for CASology I used an old set from Our Craft Lounge, and all four stamps are from this set. I stamped the images and stamped off the steam, and then colored with copics.  I used Glossy Accents on the flowers. After trimming  the card stock I used a corner punch and then attached this piece to the base card using mounting tape.

ATCAS: Hugs & Kisses

I chose this Penny Black stamps which is one of my favorites. The tag has little x's on it so I thought the sentiment of "hugs" was fitting. The image was stamped and colored with copics. Wink of Stella was used on the rose, tag and cheeks. I die cut the image with a circle die and then die cut the pink with a lacey circle die. I used a piece of organza ribbon and stamped the image and used a punch and added two pink crystals.

Stamp - Penny Black, "Looking at You", MFT "Occasion Sentiments"

Ink - Memento, Copics

Dies - Nestabilities Circles, Lacey Circles

Punch - SU!

Seize the Birthday "Anything Goes"

I forgot to submit this card yesterday to STB when I also submitted it to CASology. Also I did not take a photo of my inspiration which came from a Crate and Barrel catalog. This advertisement for framed prints has been sitting on my desk for several months.

For this card I used an aqua painter and distress inks on a piece of water color paper and then die cut the feathers. I also die cut the frame using a textured piece of kraft paper, both from MFT. I glued the frame and both feathers onto a piece of white cardstock. 

Paper - Canson Water Color, MFT kraft, white card stock

Inks - Distress: Tea Dye, Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Iced Spruce, Evergreen Bough and

Memento Rich Cocoa

Sentiment - PTI "Communique Curves Sentiments"

CASology - Birthday

I cut out an advertisement from a Crate & Barrel catalog and used it as my inspiration for this birthday card.
