CAS-ual Fridays Rainbows!

Happy Friday crafty friends! And it's time for the by-monthly CAS-ual Fridays Challenge! This week it's all about rainbows! This theme works for me, warmer temps, the snow is melting and it makes my heart happy like rainbows!

I picked-up some go the Taylored Expressions Inks and I decided that they were perfect for this background! I started by stamping my background using the wonderfully graphic CAS-ual Fridays Modern Petals border stamp with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink. I decided to emboss the black with Hero Arts Sparkle Embossing Powder, you can't see it well in the picture but it leave such pretty effect. I also wanted to ensure that my black ink didn't run with the ink blending.

To blend my ink I started with Lollipop (gorgeous pink), then used Lemon Meringue and it gave me a beautiful orange when mixed with the pink, then added Cookie Monster and that gave me the green, blue green and finished with the Lollipop again which gave me the blue and the purple. It was seriously effortless and I love the effect.

I die cut my Scallop Tag from Vellum and white embossed my sentiment from Puffy Heart Love. I used clear dimensional squares (cut to size) on the back of the sentiment and popped up my tag on the panel and glued it to the card base. I used some Lawn Fawn Lawn Trimmings and Rainbow gems by Lucie's Little Things.

CFC184 - Sketch Challenge

Happy Friday crafty friends! Does anyone have any World Card Making Day plans? I plan on locking myself into my craft room with the dogs and playing to my hearts content! But that's tomorrow, today we have a new challenge over at the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!

This week we are featuring a Sketch Challenge!

I flipped the sketch to make a horizontal card so that I could feature one of the fantastic Puffy Heart Love sentiments! I paired it with one of the ballerina's from Tutu! 

I started by blending my background line with a mix of Picked Raspberry and Abandoned Coral Distress Inks on Bristol paper (one of my favourite mixes).  I sprayed the area with my Distress Sprayer for texture and I waited for the panel to dry and then proceeded to stamp my images with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.

I added some of my Nuvo Drops to the flowers on the ballerina. To finish off the card, I added some Fun-Fetti hearts also by CAS-ual Friday and some of my favourite sparkling clear sequins!

CFC180 - Friendship

Happy Friday crafty peeps! Time for another CAS-ual Friday's Challenge! The theme this time around is Friendship :)

I was so excited to have received my new CAS-ual Friday's stamps in-time for this challenge!

I decided on the new Tutu set for this project in rainbow order nonetheless :) I broke out my Distress Oxides for this one and do they stamp like a dream! I used my Misti to properly line up my ballerina's. Once my stamping was complete I decided to use some black enamel accents to make the flowers pop.

I then decided to use this fantastic sentiment from the Special Delivery stamp set and also added the hearts from the new Puffy Heart Love set. 

I then added some black cardstock to accent the panel, put my card together and the of course, finished with some Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins!
