One Card - Two Challenges

Here's my card

I'm entering it in the current challenge at Addicted to CAS
 


and the current challenge at Less is More

It's Recipe week and we'd like you to use Snippets

on your card yet still maintaining the CAS look!

I used this Tim Holtz stencil and added colour with distress inks (picked raspberry, twisted citron and peacock feathers) with daubers. I found these flowers which were white heat embossed, coloured with watercolours and fussy cut in a ziploc bag at the bottom of my "I'll use one day, (maybe) box". Cut a banner and added a sentiment.

Sweet Sunday Sketch #279

Here's my card

It's for the current challenge at Sweet Sunday Sketch



I inked up a piece of white cardstock using ink blending tools and distress inks (squeezed lemonade, ripe persimmon, picked raspberries and chipped sapphire - in that order). 

Cut out a circle with a die. Stamped the grass and some dragonflies from this Technique Tuesday stamp set. The circle didn't look "right" on a white card base so I used a light gray. Finished the card with a simple banner.

CAS(E) this Sketch #133

Here's my card

It's for the current challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch!



When I saw the sketch, I thought of generational stamping (is that what it's called?). I inked up my stamp and applied it to the paper three times without re-inking. That way, you get three tones of the same colour.

I used these stamps from SU Easter Blooms set

and these SU inks.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things/Die-Namics Happy Hellos.

A Blog Named Hero - Make the Sentiment the Star

Here's my card

It's for the current challenge at A Blog Named Hero

I knew that this is the card I was wanting to create. I must have started at least a dozen times before I finally finished a card. I was having difficulty with "extra" ink ending up on the card front. I'm not sure if my ink pad is too "juicy" or if it's just operator error!

I lined up my card front on a piece of lined paper at an angle and used a few pieces of post-it tape to hold it in place. I used the lines on the paper to line up the stamps.

 Used this Papertrey Ink stamp set,

 these Paper Smooches stamp set

and this Papertrey Ink stamp set.

Muse Challenge #125

Here's my card

It's for the challenge at Muse Challenge 




Here's the MUSE.

I actually made this card first. However, I wasn't happy with the proportion. So I made the card I've linked up.

Instead of "pen scribbles", I used the scribble flower dies and used the colours closed to those Anita used. I was away at a retreat and had to use what I had. I didn't have any gray polka dot pattern paper so I used gray strip paper instead. I found a "friend" sentiment die to use too.
