CAS

SPONSOR #3
https://www.etsy.com/shop/alldressedupstamps
My project for this challenge is....
I used an image from ALL DRESSED UP STAMPS...
LITTLE FLOWER GIRL
I love these stamps!
I made a CAS card, colouring the image with Copics.
I layered the front of the card in a pretty paper with pink flowers.
I die-cut the image and adhered it to the front of the card.
I put a 'frame' around the image, this was part of the die cut. And I used foam pads
to put in place, giving it a 3D look.
I put a pink pearl in each of the 4 corners and stamped a sentiment and placed that
at the bottom right corner.
Hope you like my inspiration.
I hope you will join in with our challenge.
We look forward to seeing your lovely creations.
Do also visit my teamies to see their projects to inspire you.

MIX IT UP CHALLENGE #2 -STAMPING

Please feel free to take our blog logo and display on your own blog.
This is challenge #2 -   
ANYTHING GOES with optional twist STAMPING
(nothing digital, this MUST be stamped by hand)
 This is my inspiration project for you.
I started with a white base card with the fold at the top to make a tent card.
I stamped the images onto a piece of white card slightly smaller than the front of the card.
The stamp was part of a free gift on a magazine I bought.
I stamped the stems of the flowers first then the jar.
The bouquet and bow I stamped separately, coloured with Copics, fussy cut it out
and put it just above the top of the jar using 3D glue gel.
I layered this to the front of the card.
I stamped a sentiment and die cut it with a small tag. Tied twine in a bow
and placed it in the top right corner using 3D glue gel.
Hope this will give you lots of inspiration.
Take a moment or two to meet my other teamies....
