Tears......

I was inspired by the CASology challenge theme of Water 

and Less is More challenge using one layer and stencils....

When I saw the theme of 'Water' I thought of this sentiment and the tear drop.....

This is my card.....

I have used a Funky Fossil Stencil for the face, a Ryn stamp for the tear and

An Art Journey stamp for the sentiment.

Finishing off with a wash of pink watercolour, gloss on the tear 

and black perfect pearl as the eye liner.

I have always loved this sentiment......

Thanks for stopping by.

 Less is More challenge using one layer and stencils

Nautical.......

It's taken me awhile to make these two cards but I didn't want to miss

Darnells' Twofer Challenge, which is Nautical and these are my two cards....

Two different cards, Two different designs, Using the same stamp...The Seahorse.

Using Lindy Sprays, perfect pearls, crackle paste, stencilling, stamping and fussy cutting, 

stamping and heat embossing and die cutting for this 

Just a Note Card.....

You might be able to see a little more detail with this photo....

I had so much fun making this collage card.

I have used lots of different stamps from different company's.......

Ink blending, splats, die cutting and stencilling.

The shell on the bottom right is stencilled.

The contemporary colour combination was inspired by a paper napkin I have at home.

The main red coral has been fussy cut from the napkin and glued on.

Finishing off with the die cut sentiment.

The card is for a family member who is embarking on a cruise shortly 

and I thought it would make a good travel/Bon Voyage card......

I had tons of fun making these cards.

Beautiful You....

Today's card has been inspired by a few challenges.

I've had fun with a Stencil and Water colouring......

Here's My Card.....

CAS Stencil challenge is to use Sprays and CAS Watercolour is Colourful Butterflies.....

I sprayed the Face stencil with Black 'Flat' spray from Lindy's, onto watercolour card.

I then flipped the stencil over and pressed it onto another card to use at a later date.

I have used several shimmer green sprays from Lindy's for the bottom of the card, 

applying with a water brush directly from the bottle.

The same with the 'eye shadow' and the stamped fussy cut butterfly.

The gold butterflies have been stamped and heat embossed.

The butterfly stamps along the bottom are by Stamplorations.

The butterfly in the hair is by Clearly Besotted.

Finishing off the card with gold perfect pearls and a little doodling.

In the interest of honesty......I made this card twice........

If you look at the photo on the left you will see 'grey' smudging at the top of her head.

Getting progressively worse with the photo on the right....

My advice with using sprays through a stencil.....

Leave alone and keep fussing to a minimum, as not to re-activate the spray!

I hope you've managed some crafty time this weekend 

and thank you so much for finding time to stop by.

CAS Mix Up August reminder post

Time for the reminder post over At The CAS Mix Up Challenge 

with the fun Paper Towel Technique....

Betty from created by BJK is our talented guest designer 

and lots of inspiration from the team over on the blog.......

Paper Towel Transfer, Stamping, Die cutting, Heat embossing and Doodling

Sorry the card looks bendy in this photo ......

I used the mop up paper towels with lots of water, scrunched them up 

and thumped them down onto my card.

It took awhile to get the depth of colour but I loved the random effect.

I used a little water colour around the edges to enhance the shape.

I unscrewed a Lindy spray bottle and used the end of the spray tube to doodle a horizontal line.

There must have been a lot of mica in the bottom of the tube as the effect was really sparkly.

The die cut sentiment was coloured with the Lindy and a liquid chrome pen.

Finishing off with stamping and heat embossing a mixed media stamp in silver.

It's a great way to use up those mop up paper towels instead of just popping them in the bin.

Thank you for stopping by....

The gallery is looking so creative and fabulous.

I hope you find time to join in.....

CAS Mix Up August Challenge

Our fun challenge this month at The CAS Mix Up Challenge is Paper Towel 

and is hosted by the lovely Loll.

This is to challenge you to recycle those inky paper towels.

Our creative and talented guest designer this month is Betty from Created by bjk.

Pop across to the blog for fabulous inspiration from the design team and Betty.

I have recycled an inky paper towel, stamping and my choices are heat embossing and die cutting.

The inky paper towel was glued to a mixed media card.

I applied glue to the edge and heat embossed two shades of gold embossing powders 

and for added texture one was UTEE

The leaves where stamped and heat embossed in gold and so was the die cut sentiment.

It is great to use up those mop up pieces of kitchen and paper towels and make them into a card.

There are different ways to use the inky Paper Towel 

and Loll has a video showing you how over on the blog.

and I am so looking forward to seeing your creativity in the gallery.
