CASology #282 HUGS

Hello! I'm back with another card to share today. This card is for CASology challenge #282 HUGS. I am starting on some Valentine's cards , so this challenge is perfect for that. I watercolored various pinks , die cut some hearts and a sentiment. I'm having a difficult day with appliances, so I needed some crafting time to cheer myself up. Thanks for stopping by today.

MIM #309

Hello! I'm having a frustrating day today. My washer broke , so I purchased a new one.... guess what it isn't working either...so while I not so patiently wait (4 days no washer, laundry up to my ears) for lowes to bring me a new one I'll play along with a few challenges. This card is for MIM heat embossed stencils. I don't have any PTI stencils yet, so I made my own using a cover plate and some acetate . I used heat and stick embossing powder so I could try out my nuvo gilding flakes. When they tell you don't breathe when you open them , not kidding. I have a huge mess to clean up next. But the end result is pretty. Thanks for stopping by.

Where creativity meets challenge #17

Hello! I'm sharing a card for the Concord and 9 challenge "use your 1st C&9 stamp" , well sadly I only own 1 stamp set currently and this is it. I love it. I plan to buy a few more soon. This one was in my wish list forever , and my mom got it for me for Christmas. I inked it up that night. Thanks for stopping by my blog today.

CC&S 254

Hello! I'm back with my 1st DT card for the new year. This is for CAS Clours and Sketches  sketch challenge . I am thinking Valentine's day after all those Christmas cards I made. I am tired of red and green, I needed something different. This is a stamp set from Neat and Tangled, I had it on my wish list FOREVER . I think this sketch is going to be a popular one as it works well with lots of different images. I hope you will join us.... be back soon.

HLS January challenge

Hello, I'm working hard at my goal to play along in more blog challenges this year. I came across this fun challenge @ HLS watercolor with sequins. I thought of a New Years card right away, sequins seem like confetti. I used some Gansai starry watercolors for the background, die cut  numbers and added the sequins. I've got someone in mind to send it to. Thanks for stopping by.

Merry Monday #271

Hello! My 1st official challenge of the New Year! I created this for the Merry Monday embossing challenge. I set a goal for myself to play along with a least 1 blog challenge a week....This is a fairly new one for me. I used a sentiment from Neat and Tangled , embossed with WOW gold pearl embossing powder, and I used some distress inks and distress oxides for the background, then I splattered a bit of white for a galaxy look. Thanks for stopping by, see you soon.
