Three cards from me today, getting some challenges done.
First up, flowers for The Sisterhood of Crafters:
I finally used this Tim Holtz large flower stamp - I've had it for a few
years! For an A2 card, you can really only use part of the stamp.
I stamped it and coloured it with Distress markers and a water brush. A simple sentiment and a black border and it was done!
Next a card for a special woman in my life (one of my best friends who shares my love of going out for tea and treats) - for Shopping our Stash challenge:
Stamped, watercoloured, bordered with a co-ordinating colour - that's all there is to it.
And last, (of course, I have to have one Christmas card in here as I really need to build up my stash for my sale), for Addicted to CAS "Monochrome":
I stamped and heat embossed (with a glittery blue embossing powder) the image and sentiment, trimmed with a stitched rectangle die, and added it to a dark shimmer card base that provides a nice frame for the image.

Three great makes Susan, and I love the pretty quite vintage feel to the flowers so beautifully coloured, and then the sweet flowery teapot and delicate teacups with the yummy cakes is the perfect make for your friend who enjoys a cuppa and a nice sweet treat to go with it, and then the delightful dove image using this glittery blue embossing powder, with lots of contrast on the white card with the strong blue of the base card..a super CAS card. x
ReplyDeleteThree fantastic cards, Susan! Love that floral and you've colored it so well! Your tea pot is beautiful and the tea treats make me think of your shortbread cookies! Love the dove! So classy in the monochromatic blue!
