CAS(E) this Sketch #183

 Using the new sketch from Cas(e) this sketch I created this super cute card! I am so happy with how this card turned out! I used some blue painters tape,cut into strips and added to my stamping block then used some distress markers on top of the tape to create the background.....Love this effect! I went through my very small stamp stash (I have mostly sentiments) and when I couldn't find anything I wanted to use I went searching the internet ......I can upon tons of cute clipart pieces....I really thought this one worked well so I turned it into a print and cut file with my silhouette portrait and finally I used a sentiment from Bo Bunny

CAS(E) this Sketch #182

When I saw the new sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch I knew just what I wanted to do...haha that's a change for me! I just got this dream catcher cut file from Paper issues its a free file (they have quite a few)...I thought it would be perfect for this sketch..I had to rework the size for it to fit a card. I used lindys stamp gang mists to add a bit of color...
I really like how it turned out!

LIM Week 284

okay so I took a quick glance at the new challenge over on the  Less is More blog....for some reason I missed the ONE LAYER part the first time I read it...all I saw was the theme Time LOL so I had an idea of with a clock die cut....needless to say I had to scrap that idea but I still able use the clock as a mask and create this card...I'll just use it as a generic note card...

this is the quote I used on my card.

Muse Challenge #173

I haven't played along with the Muse challenge in awhile....I always forget to go back and vote LOL but I thought I'd play along this week....Anita's card is just gorgeous!
I took inspiration from the inky background and the silhouette image on Anita's card.... I used Tim Holts distress inks,they seem to work the best for me since I have issues blending so I went for coverage then sprinkled with water..I like the blotchy look!
I used a stencil from the crafters workshop called Mini birds of a feather (now don't laugh but as I was looking at my card as I'm writing this I noticed something missing! I had to mask a lot of the stencil because it had a bunch of bird cages but I only wanted one on the branch...I totally forgot I wanted that on cage LOL and didn't realize I hadn't inked that part of the stencil until just now! )
Anyway I really like how it turned out!

Colour Week #283

I had to laugh at this weeks color challenge over at Less is More , color are of our/your own kitchen. the reason I laughed is because the kitchen is so NOT my domain it's my husbands!
We have talked about redoing it since we bought this place about five years ago but every time we get ready something else needs to be done first...like busted water pipe,a leak in the roof haha I guess cosmetic stuff get s put on the back burner...Anyway our kitchen has a wide variety of colors (to say the least) but I picked the most prominent ones brown/wood tone and yellow...
