Hey there, I had so much fun making the 3D card for last week's SCS CAS challenge, I decided to do another using Susan's Garden, Garden Notes Hyacinthe. This week's challenge, Make Your Words Sparkle! How fun is that!?! I just picked up these Simply Said You die and clear stamp set from Avery Elle. OMGosh...love them! I'm looking forward to using them again and again! I might have picked up some of the other sets too. *grin*
This picture is kind of blurry, but you can see all of the cool dimension from the flower, die cut sentiment and MFT frames!

Hey there, the girls at my LSS, Memories of Time, are wanting some 3D flower classes. Perfect timing for this week's CAS challenge, Preparing for Spring, celebrating the daffodil. Susan's Garden Notes dies from Ellen Craft Designs are perfect, am I right!?! *grin*
The background was stamped with Espresso Truffle ink and My Favorite Things Wood Plank background. Two Grapevine Wreath Ovals were die cut, shaped with my fingers then layered one on top of the other. Prills were used on a few of the branches for a little extra color.
The daffodil and tulips were die cut from Bazzill cardstock then shaped with Susan's Tool Kit. The sentiment is from MFT and the little, tiny ladybug was made from Viva Perler Pens.

Hey there, I've been sick all week, and yesterday was the first day I felt well enough to color. Woohoo! I decided to combine My Favorite Things Sketch #268 and Color Challenge #39. Although this stamp set is retired, it's the first time I've inked it up. I know...*gasp*!
A MISTI was used to stamp the tree twice with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White; once on the background panel and the other on a piece that was die cut with MFT's Grassy Hills. The tree on the background panel wasn't quite tall enough, so Copic Multiliners were used to extend it to the edge of the card. I'm really happy with how the tree turned out! The woodgrain texture gives the card character, and it was fun to create! The Grassy Hills panel was die cut then colored with Copics. The tree was fussy cut out and the grass sections were glued directly to the background panel. Warm Gray markers were used to shadow the MFT Woodgrain Fence while the Grassy Edges die completes the background. The girl was stamped, colored, fussy cut then glued and popped up onto the background. Pretty easy CAS card!

Hey there, I'm playing along with My Favorite Things Sketch #267 challenge. I used Birdie Brown's The Whole Herd. I just love that little pig!
The haystack was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White. It was masked, the wooden trough was stamped, the mask was removed, colored with Copic markers then fussy cut. The pig was also stamped on Neenah, colored then fussy cut. How about the new Tag Builder Blueprints 5...it's loaded with possibilities! The Rolling Hills die is perfect with this barnyard set and makes the best backgrounds!

Hey there, I played along with this week's My Favorite Things Sketch #266 Challenge. Wowsers, this sketch was awesome with it's wide open spaces! I had an idea in mind for my card and even had an awesome wood-grain paper picked out for the fence, but then I ran across a video by Sandy Allnock. After seeing Sandy's Copic colored fence, I decided to give it a try. I lined everything up with my MISTI, and dang if that didn't make for a cool way to create an inside/outside card! I can't wait to do another! I think I have an AI image that I might need to dig out and try! Stay tuned...
Here's the inside...a little sponging for the clouds completes the card. So fun!

Hey there, here's card number two for this week's CAS challenge, Won't You Call Me Sweetheart. This is such an adorable image from Whipper Snapper Designs! I decided to make a shaker card for this one.
The fish were stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic makers. I have to confess...the bottom red heart bled out. No amount of Colorless Blender was going to fix that mess! I was too far along with the image to scrap it though. The background water was colored a little heavier in that area to cover it up. Not too bad though, you can barely see where it went out of the line! Whew!
