Thinking Of You ......

Today's Card.......

CASEing a card today over at STAMPlorations...

This is Donna's card...

I was inspired by the pretty colours 

and that the die cut feathers where interlocked to each each.

So with this in mind I made my card....

I used the stencil and blending inks for the colours.

I masked to achieve the interlocked idea that Donna had used with her dies.

I also loved that Donna had tipped the top of the feathers with colour, 

so I stenciled through the bird as a nod to her idea.

I finished off with the stamped sentiment and black splatters.

The splatters are quite small, as I wasn't brave enough to make them bigger,

as I had never used black ink splats before and they seemed so permanent and scary!

Thank you so much for popping by...

Today's card......

I was inspired by three challenges to make this card....

I started by using a couple of shades of red Brusho's and spraying water.

The boots where stamped in black ink ....I used water and a brush to take off most of the red.

The sentiment has been die cut and another layer of black foam added for dimension.

The bottom of the die cut sentiment has frantage heat embossing on it.

I love this stuff as it adds interest and is dual colour.

The black horizontal lines on the left have been stenciled and gold embossing added.

I was inspired by Simply Less is More challenge - Hero

Felt Flowers....

Today's Card......

I had fun using felt to die cut and then to inlay the pieces back into the project.

I had to give in with the sentiment and die cut them out of card in the end.

The felt sentiments where too fluffy in felt and too messy around the edges.

If I hadn't wanted to inlay them, then they would have been ok 

but you know what it's like when us crafters have got an idea in our heads!

The small falling dots have been stenciled with black ink and white embossing paste.

I have used the opposite colours on the black frame for the dies and the stenciling.

I am popping the project into a frame for a friend.
