Virginia's View Challenge #13

So - this card is very similar to my first card today for the Less is More week 214 Colour Challenge. I like the look.

This card is for Virginia's View Challenge - where the challenge is "All Things Embossed".

I punched out many flowers from 65# white cardstock.

 

I used these distress inks to ink the edges of the flowers.
 

I adhered the flowers to a piece of 4" x 5 1/4" cardstock. Then I ran it through my Cuttlebug with this embossing folder.

Addicted to CAS - Challenge #58

I love this stencil. I used to try to use ink blending tools to ink the stencil. However, I learned that I had to tape off all other areas (or there would be random splotches of colour, where I didn't want it). Now I've learned - use the finger daubers and there is more control of where the colour goes or doesn't go. Yes - they are a bit of an investment. Worth it, in my opinion.

Here's my card

Less is More Week 214 Colour Challenge

There is something so very calming about playing in my craft room. I have a little music playing in the background. It makes me so very happy. So, I took today off and have been playing.

Here's my first card

This week's Less is More challenge is a colour challenge - Yellow and Green.

I used this punch to punch out flowers using white cardstock and the leaf (from the white punch) from green cardstock.
 

I inked the edges of the flowers using this distress ink. In retrospect, I should have selected a "brighter" yellow.
 

 

I adhered the flowers and leaves on white cardstock (4" x 5 1/4"). I then ran it through my Cuttlebug using the lattice embossing folder.

Added a mat of yellow - 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and the sentiment.

I used this stamp (I think it's Hero Arts, but I'm not sure and the packaging is long gone!)

I coloured the stamp with SU markers and then spritzed with water
 

Used Memento Tuxedo black ink for the sentiment from this stamp set
 

Thanks for visiting. Going to have a little extra time in the craft room this week. Hope to come up with some more cards to share.

Here' my card for this week's challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch #112.

 

 CAS(E) this Sketch

 I used this Memory Box Script thanks die. I cut it twice times - the green piece was cut at 1 3/8" x 5 1/4"; the striped piece was cut at 2 5/8" x 5 1/4"; I used a few small pieces of washi tape to keep the green and striped pieces together when cutting the die; and I cut out the thanks on white cardstock. I carefully adhered the pieces together to create this card.

Mojo Monday #386

Here's my card for Mojo Monday #386. Here's the sketch








Mojo Monday

The challenge was to create a tall and skinny card. It's 3.5" x 5.5". I had to really think when cutting the card base - cut the cardstock 3.5" x 11" and score at 5.5".

I stamped the Hero Arts Leaf and Floral background stamp with Versamark Ink and white embossing powder on white cardstock.

Then I used ink blending tools to add distress ink in a random pattern. I cut a strip 2" x 5". I found a complementary pink cardstock and cut a piece 3" x 3.5".

 
I stamped the thank you from this SU Lotus Blossom set on white. Cut it out using a 1.5" circle punch. Using a scrap complementary yellow colour, cut out with SU's 1.75" scalloped circle punch. Added two 0.75" banners to finish off the card.
