I'm exhausted from the gardening this morning, and I'm struggling against the stiffness of my Arthritis, so I'm off to bed early in the hope that the pain killers will have worked by the time I wake up!!

Thanks for dropping by, and I will be back as soon as my body is able

                                                       

CAS Leaves

My card today is a CAS one for two challenges


The first is the sketch from Clean and Simple,

and the second is CAS Colours and Sketches with these colours

Here is what I made

I randomly stamped leaves and splodges on some strips of silk card, and staggered them on a white base, and added the sentiment label on 3D pads.

After making the card, I wasn't sure if I liked it, so I added a thin black line around the edges of the strips so that they were more defined. Even now I'm not sure which I like more. What do you think?

Supplies :

Card = Clarity silk, and white base FMS

Stamps = French Foliage, and Fiskars

Inks = Certainly Celery, Calypso Coral, and Rust Adirondack

Tools = Big Shot, and XCut Nestabilities

I'm off to see my sister and the kids this afternoon, so no doubt I'll be playing Super Heroes or Dinosaurs

Bye for now
                                   

Madison Strips

Yaaaay! I've come Top 3 at Try Stampin' on Tuesday, and I'm thrilled, so a big "Thank You" to their DT.

This is my second post today, and my card is for two challenges

The first is Try Stampin' on Tuesday with
this sketch,

and next is Stampin' Royalty with these colours



This is what I came up with

I embossed some blue card, drew the stitches with a Write marker, and laid it on a white base. I then  repeatedly stamped the stem and leaves on two strips of white card and matted them on coral card . Some blue flowers were stamped, matted, and layered and placed behind the strips of leaves. The sentiment and butterfly were added on top of the strips with 3D pads.

Supplies :
Card = Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Naturals White, Navy and white base FMS
Stamps = Madison Avenue and Verve
Inks = Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, and Pool Party
Tools = Big Shot, Sizzix Textures, Elegant and Bitty Butterfly Punches, and Stamp-a-ma-jig

Coral Blooms

Today, my card is for two challenges

The first is Mojo Monday with this sketch,

and second is ColourQ with these colours





Here is my card

                                              

Some embossed coral card was laid on a white base with a green strip and black ribbon flag tails to the right hand side.

Two Nestie labels were added so they over lapped, and some blooms were added with leaves. The upper most label was on 3D pads, as was the large flower bloom. The finishing touches were the addition of the sentiment and the butterfly with gem body.

Supplies :
Card = Calypso Coral, Black, Certainly Celery, Naturals White, Whisper White, and white base FMS
Stamps = Stippled Blossoms and Verve
Inks = Black, Calypso Coral, Real Red, Certainly Celery, and Crumb Cake

I've been so busy this week, but Mum is getting stronger and is on the mend now, and is doing more and more each day. Next week is my Sister Cassy's birthday, so we'll be off to Leicester to see her, and of course little Henry, so may not get the chance to do much crafting.

Enjoy your weekend, and I hope to be back soon

Tea for Two

My card today is for two challenges

 
The first is this sketch from
Retro Sketches,

and next is Color Throwdown with these colours



Here is my card

                                                  

The cups were stamped on silk card, cut out, and stacked inside each other on a yellow Nestie. The sentiments were stamped the same way, and laid on 3D pads.

Supplies :

Card = Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise, Clarity silk, and white base FMS

Stamps = Tea Shoppe

Inks = Real Red, Tempting Turquoise, Black, and Certainly Celery

Tools = Big Shot and Nestabilities

Thanks for dropping by, and I'm sorry that I haven't had time to leave comments on your blogs lately, but I will try to catch up over the next few days.

Have a good week end 

Blue Butterfly

My second card today, is a One Layer card that I've made for two challenges.

The first is Less is More, where I had miss read that the rules of a COLOURED CARD BLANK was also supposed to be ONE LAYER,

and the second is this colour combo from Dynamic Duos who are celebrating their first Anniversary

Here it is

The card was embossed with a double line frame around the edge, and then the butterfly and sentiment stamped within them. I find it very difficult to stop at just one layer, as I'm always tempted to add ribbons or embellishments, but you sometimes need to be tested outside your comfort zone!

Supplies :

Card = Pool Party base FMS

Stamps = Swallowtail and Verve

Inks = Island Indigo

Tools = Embossing tool and board FMS

Hope to be back soon with the other makes from today

Willow Lady

Yaaaaay! I came Top 3 at Make My Monday with my swing card, so "Thank You" DT , I'm thrilled.

Today, I've been around at my friends playing with stamps and techniques that are new to her, and I made a card for two challenges.

The first is Make My Monday with this book as inspiration, either the story, or cover, or both

The second is Less is More where they want to see a
Coloured card blank


This is my CAS card

Inspired by the book cover, the lady was stamped onto a white Nestie that was matted on a black one, and then laid on 3D pads onto a pink base. To keep the card CAS, I embossed a zigzag line around the card to suggest the aged look without actually distressing it, and stamped the sentiment beneath the lady.

Supplies :

Card = Whisper White, Black, and pink base FMS

Stamps = Clarity and Fiskars

Inks = Black

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Embossing board and tool FMS

Extras = 3D pads
