CC&S 257

Greetings! I hope you are doing well today. I'm sharing another DT card for CAS Colours and Sketches. This week is our double challenge, both a color and sketch challenge. I wasn't sure how to make this work at 1st, but after a few attempts it came together nicely. Who else tries a few times before their card comes together how you want it to? I hope you will play along with us , it's always so fun to see someone else's take on things. Hope to see you soon.

January challenge

Hello! I'm sharing a card I created for the January challenge for the Ton, the theme is CHEERS. I don't have anything with cheers on it yet, so I went with happy retirement. I Love their floral stamps and long to own them ALL.. one day maybe. I've had a extra busy day, so I'm heading off to bed early, Be back soon.

Pinsights challenge

Pin-Sights Color Trend January Purple Haze
Hello! I've been wanting to play along with the Classroom's Pin sights challenge.... did you see this month's pin sights? Gorgeous colors! I finally made a little time to craft today. We are getting ready to re-do our living room(FINALLY) and I was washing walls today, along with my usual mountain of laundry. For this card I used my favorite stamp in the Ellen Huston line, did a bit of loose watercoloring and added the Hello die cut. I opted to keep the sentiment simple to avoid distracting from the flowers. Thanks for stopping by today.

Layer it up challenge

Welcome! I'm sharing my card for the SSS wednesday challenge "Layer it up" . I water colored this image from Concord & 9th, fussy cut it out, I used gold embossing powder on the edges of a piece of cardstock to match the embossing on the cake, added a diecut panel on top of that , then popped up the cake. Not sure the broken china ink blending I did on the die cut panel is the best color choice, but I wanted the cake to pop. I plan to try this in another color soon. Thanks for visiting me today.

PTI blog hop

Hello! I'm stopping in to share my card for the January PTI blog hop. It's very last minute, I had no ideas until 7pm tonight. That's how I work best.... under pressure.I didn't plan on playing along this month, then suddenly the idea came to me while doing dishes.  I used the cupcake die set,  sentiment is from Piece of cake set, and I used enamel accents for the sprinkles. Going to check out what others made, thanks for visiting me today.

Monday

Hello! Happy Monday. I know who likes mondays? Not many people, but I try to make the best of it. Look at the positives, it rained here and had it been colder we would have FEET of snow instead of inches of rain..not bad for Chicago weather. I'm sharing an Easter card(yep I've started them already) for CASe this sketch's weekly challenge. This sketch looked fun. Thanks for stopping by today, I'll be back tomorrow with another card to share.
