Another CASE

 Just popping in to share a card for Global Design Project. This week was a CASE the Designer challenge and this is my card...

I used patterned papers for my background, distressing the edges to echo the frayed linen. 

I stamped some background script and embossed with Liquid Platinum. 

Then I layered some die-cut leaves and wildflowers with a butterfly stamped on vellum.

I stamped the sentiment on a strip of fabric. and stapled it to the card.

Christmas Card Throwdown (August Theme)

  Hi Crafty Friends.  I am your hostess for August at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown Challenge.

It's time for the Theme Challenge.  I have chosen 'BIRDS' as our theme, because I love them:) 

This is a bird stamp I've neglected, despite it being beautiful. My Misti stamping tool tool helped me build up the colour and then I added more directly with Zig Markers.  The background was smooshed with Distress Oxide Inks. The die-cut foliage was coloured with markers and then I sprinkled a touch of Distress Embossing Glaze and heat embossed.

Stamps: Darkroom Door Robin; Colorado Craft Sentiment  

Dies: Tim Holtz Holiday Greens

I hope you'll visit the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown blog to see what our talented Guest Designer, Lucie and the rest of the team created for this theme and then be inspired to join in the challenge!

I'm also sharing my card at the following challenges;-

CAS Colours & Sketches #403

  Hi there! It's time for the second challenge of the year for CAS Colours & Sketches. This week is a colour challenge.  Jeanne is our host and has created a pretty colour combo for us.

I thought Spring when I saw these colours, so I decided to created a big colourful bloom!

I stamped and white heat-embossed the Poppy on plain white card and again on watercolour for the flower head.  The image was coloured with Zig Markers and an Aquabrush.  The sentemint and butterfly were stamped with Zig Markers.

Stamps: Poppy (Penny Black); Butterfly (Darkroom Door) 

Die: Frame (Mama Elephant)

I hope you'll pop on over to our blog to see the wonderful creations from our Design Team and be inspired to join us in the challenge.
