CASology week 251: MEDICINE

(sigh)  I am a bit behind posting a few cards as I have been lounging around, poolside, with my gorgeous husband celebrating our 1 year anniversary.  The (sigh) is because I am no longer lounging, poolside, with my gorgeous husband.  Good things must come to an end.

The cool thing about living in Phoenix is that it is very, very hot here in the summer.  Like it was way over 100 degrees today.  And noone wants to visit in that heat.  So hotels offer awesome "staycation" deals and the hubs and I took advantage of staying at a luxury resort for $100 a night.  You heard me right.  Hence the (sigh).

Back to business.  I made this card for the CASology week 251 Challenge: MEDICINE.


Let me tell you, this card is the exact reason why I do these challenges.  I love how this card came out. Love it.  Can't wait for someone to get sick so I can give it to them. (Just Kidding!) (not really).  I am not naturally a CAS kind of gal and this challenge forces me to take it down a notch sista.  I love participating in this challenge.

Enough chatter. Here is the details.  I used MFT stamps "The Whole Herd" for the piggy and the Sentiment.  I stamped both in Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink as I was unsure if I would be painting or coloring.

Coloring won out and I used my Spectrum Noir markers in PP5, PP3, and PP1.  I also used some white gel pen for the highlights.

I cut my 110 lb cardstock with a scalloped edge as i wanted juuuust a bit something extra and attached to my card base.  No foam tape this time.  Not sure if next time I will prop it, but I was in a super big hurry to leave for vacation.

Hope you enjoyed the card!  Let me know if you have the sniffles, I have just the card for you!

Lawn Fawnatics and A Blog Named Hero Challenges

Image
Hey everyone.  Well, I am very lucky as my October Monthly Hero Arts kit came just in time!  I wanted to use the dies on a tag I was making for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge.  I kept it un-assembled until I received my package yesterday.   This tag is being entered into the  Lawnfawnatics Challenge 14 : Happy Critters  and the  A Blog Named Hero - Calling all Critters .  The Blog Named Hero Challenge is using both Hero Arts and Lawn Fawn products.  I expect to enter more as the October kit and Lawn Fawn play very nicely together! I used Toboggan together set and colored it with Spectrum Noir pens.  I made the background out of the mountain range die from the October HA kit.  I used Bristol Smooth paper and first inked it with DO Iced Spruce and Salty Ocean.  I cut it then used the mountain range stamp with white pigment HA ink to stamp some detail.  I also inked the edges of the range with the ink.  I embossed it all with sparkly EP for some shine.  I also stamped some snow

SSS Monday Challenge: Make your own Background

Happy Sunday! Just popping in with my card for the  SSS Monday Challenge: Make your own background .  I had the pleasure of making a simple Thank You card for a friend. I painted the card with layers of watercolored Indigo, attempting to make it look as the card was dipped. I cut 4 Lawn Fawn “Thanks” from 110 lb white paper and glued them together so they would pop. I finished it off with a few water droplets from Studio Katia.  Thanks for stopping by!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 20- Fun with Food !

Happy New Year!!! So, this year I have resolved to blog on a regular basis. I am currently scouring the internet for a blog planner. Any assistance is much appreciated! Today I am showing you my entry into   Lawnfawnatics Challenge 20 :  Fun with food!! I think Lawn Fawn has the best food stamps, and I was lucky to get “Baked with Love” stamp set for Christmas.  I am also entering this into the  Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge : A Spot of Blue. This is a birthday card for hubby as he likes CAS cards.  Also, this is the very first card I used masking on! Santa forgot the coordinating dies and I was forced to try masking. Which is also on my 2018 list of crafty things to try.   I stamped the images with Simon says Stamp black ink and colored with Copics and Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I used a white pen for highlights and Glossy Accents on the heart and cupcake frosting which does not photograph at all!  I propped the card onto some lipstick red paper and mounted on
