STAMPlorations April CAS Card challenge

Hi there, it's time for a new STAMPlorations CAS card challenge, this month we have the added color twist of  Dark Navy.

I have created a card to inspire you using the Trendy Leaves 2 and Say It Big: Joy stamps.

STAMPlorations Love Hop and Linky Party

Today STAMPloration's are holding a Love hop and linky party and I'm so thrilled to be part of the hop.

I created this cute Valentines card using the Fancy-Frangipanis stamp and Love word die.

I coloured the flowers using Alcohol markers and a white gel pen. I added some gold splatters in the background to add some sparkle.  The sentiment was cut from white card 3 times and stacked together to create a faux chipboard effect. I then added a gold drop shadow and mounted it onto some black card.  I love the effect of thread behind the sentiment as it adds another level of depth and dimension.

The blog hop starts at the STAMPlorations blog here >>> stamplorations blogspot where you can find the detailed  prize info and all the stops.

STAMPlorations are giving away over $100 worth of prizes in the form of products, gift certificates, and coupon codes.

From January 22 to February 14, products in the LOVE/SPRING section are 15% off (no coded needed) but as an added bonus if you use my DT code STAMPGIRLTERRI, you can get an extra 20% off.

STAMPlorations January CAS Card challenge

Happy New Year guys, today is the first CAS card challenge of 2019, the theme is as always anything goes, but the optional color twist is Burgundy.

I put together my DT project using one stamp set and one ink pads, simple and easy to do. I stamped all of the images from the House Extras stamp set using a Burgundy water based ink pad. I then used a water brush to pull the color out and add some shading. In some places I created a wash of color.

I love how this card turned out, it reminds me so much of the picture in the Charlie and Lola books by Lauren Child, my children loved them when they were little.

STAMPlorations November CAS Card challenge

I am really excited to share todays post with you because I've created a super cool card for the November STAMPlorations CAS Card challenge. 

So as you can see from the graphic above this month the theme is anything goes with the added colour twist of RAINBOW. I love a rainbow card and this one is my all time best.

I stamped the little monsters onto masking paper and roughly cut around the outline leaving a bigger edge than I normally would. I then stamped the monsters onto my card and added the masks over them.

I used Distress Oxide inks to add the rainbow colours from top to bottom making sure to gently overlay the colours so I didn't get a harsh line where they meet.

I flicked water at the card and used a paper towel to blot, this bleaches the colour leaving lighter patches behind. Once dry I stamped and embossed my sentiment in white, I love the bright white against the rainbow colours.

Happy Birthday Shery

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Shery Happy birthday to you.

Yes today I am celebrating Shery's aka Mrs STAMPlorations birthday.

The STAMPgirls have got together and created birthday cards for Shery, 

This is my card

To create my card I used the following products;

Celebrate-Word-Die-CUTplorations

Kathryns-Big-Wishes-Dees-Artsy-Impressions

My candle swere colourde using a brayering technique. I added some Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves and Wild Honey to my glass matt and spritzing with water. I then rolled a large brayer through the ink and then across the surface of some thick white card. I did this a couple of times until I was happy with the coverage.

Once dry I stamped and fussy cut 5 of the candles from the Kathryns Big Wishes stamp set. I then adhered them to a card. I added a thin border using a black fine line pen and some inky splatters. I then die cut the word "Celebrate" from some gold glitter card and some black card and stuck them together creating a drop shadow. Lastly I stamped "it's your birthday" onto some white card. I then added this to the card.
