CAS-ual Friday's Sketch Challenge!

Happy Friday crafty friends! Yup, it's that time for another fun challenge over at the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge Blog!  This time it's a sketch challenge!

I decided to flip the sketch for my project. I am usually drawn to white with bright colors but there is something about this Raspberry card stock that I simply love! I started by die cutting my circles and putting everything together using the die cut inlay technique. I then stamped my flowers and leaves from Pretty Posies in a shade darker than the card stock. I then die cut my Smiling Fri-Die from white card stock and fun foam. I used the same ink to shade my card stock and I topped it off with Nuvo Glaze. I then stamped the Sweet Fried from Special Delivery in VersaMark Ink and gold embossed the sentiment.

I finished off by adding some Fun-Fetti hearts and a few Pretty Pink Posh 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!

CFC171 - Rainbows :)

Happy Friday crafty friends! Time for another fun CAS-ual Friday's Challenge! We are all about rainbows this week!

My project features some of the new amazing products released last week and you can find them in the
CAS-ual Friday's shop

I absolutely wanted to play with the new Modern Petals border stamp set. I pulled out a rainbow of pigment inks and my Misti, I chose pigment inks because they are very vibrant and easy to wipe off on the parts of the stamp that I didn't want inked.  To be able to have to room for a rainbow of colours I only inked up half of the stamp.

I then wanted a bold black sentiment so I chose the Smiling Fri-Die, I backed my black card stock with StickIt adhesive and some fun foam for more dimension. I paired the Smile sentiment with the sweet friend from the Special Delivery stamp set and white embossed it on black card stock. Finally I coloured in the little hearts with a red Copic glitter pen (can't remember what they are actually called...) 

I took some gold thread (it was actually my Grandmother's and there is still plenty of it left!) put my card together and finished it off with some gold Pretty Pink Posh sequins and added Glossy Accents to the Smile die cut!

I had the pleasure of meeting Michele the owner and designer of CAS-ual Friday's during a business trip to Denver last week. She is a wonderful classy lady, love her product and I am happy I was able to put a face to the brand!
