Monday Mood Board #22

Hello Everyone....

Monday Mood Board #22 is up at Wplus9.

Love all the colors that Dawn pick...so soft and pretty :)

I'm a sucker for feathers...so can't help but use WPlus9 Fanciful Feathers on my card.

I first made a card from black cardstock then really distress it with white pigment ink pad, to get 

the chalkboard look for my background.

I then die-cut a white cardstock using circle die from My Favorite Things Pierced Circle Stax.

Then start stamping my feather in circular motion using two different colored ink.

At the bottom of my card I cut a panel from wood veneer sheets and embossed one of the

image from Chantilly Trim on vellum and die-cut the bottom using Scallop Border die.

The flower trim was from Maya Road.

Here's the full look of the card.

I couldn't help but make another card using  Fanciful Feathers stamp set.

On this card I also used the Timeless Tags 2 die set. I actually cut the tag in half to place it on the 

top and bottom of my circular panel to create that long tag look behind it.

I did stamp the feather image on a circular motion same as the first card. The only difference

is that I used the rock and roll technique before stamping on my panel.

You can check out Dawn's video HERE for this technique.

I really love this color combo....don't you?

Oh...for the bottom of my card I used the gray Air Mail Washi from Freckled Fawn. I also used one of the stamp image from  Chantilly Trim to finish it of.

 Here's another look.

I hope you guys enjoyed my take on the challenge.

Have a wonderful week!

Thank you so much for visiting me :)

CAS(E) this Sketch #52

Hello lovely friends!

Its time for..... 

CAS(E) this Sketch.

This sketch was designed by Karolyn Loncon.... with so many possibilities!

Without further ado...here's how I started my card.

I used the Vintage Cream cardstock from PTI for my card.

I then stamped it with The Sweet Life stamp from PTI, then

 embossed it with  Pearlustre embossing powder to give that pearly translucent look.

Its nice if you want to achieve just a hint of color.

I did die cut my pattern paper using Half and Half die collection from PTI.

As for my banner I used the Fish Tail  layer dies from My Favorite Things and I also used the 

Boutique Borders Thank You stamp and die from PTI.

To finish it off I then added the resin flower Blossom from Kaiser Craft.

Here is the whole look of the card.

I hope I have inspired you to join us this week.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Hello Everyone...

I am participating at  October Papertrey Ink Blog Hop today.

On my tag I used the Papertrey Ink stamp set from Winter Hills, and Simply Jane for my frame.

The sentiment is from Wplus9 Merry & Bright.

For my tags I used the Heidi Swapp Notes and die-cut it with the Tag Sale #5.

As for the bow I used the MFT's die-namics Dainty Bows.

Here's just a look when putting it on the actual gift...hehe..

Ooh...I also die cut the image from Meadow Greens for added touch.

On this design tag I die-cut the tag from PTI Tag sale #2.

I then stamped the tag with one of the sentiment in Winter Hills stamps in Soft stone to have a subtle design.

The red snowflakes die-cut was from Walmart. I added the same sentiment from Wplus9 Merry & Bright.

For this 3rd design I used the stamps from PTI Harvest Berries, I added 

some bling and bow then voila!

For this tag I used the stamps set from PTI Holiday Tags 2011. I embossed the image with

silver embossing powder. As for the octagon panel I used the Scrolling Scroll stamps and dies.

For this tag I also used the image from PTI Holiday Tags 2011. This time I embossed

CAS(E) this Sketch #51

Hi my dear friends.....

Its time for another CAS(E) this Sketch!

This amazing sketch is my made by N@ Ali.

For this sketch I created a baby card! I do not have many baby stamps.

So for this card I used the stamps from Mama Elephant Cosmic Stars. I think this stamp set

can easily be transpose to a baby card....just need a  sentiment to match :)

On my card I first distress the whole card panel with Black Soot from Ranger. I love distressing

my card panel and leaving the middle lighter than the sides, to make the images add more interest.

Here's the close-up of the cute little cosmic stars. I just love the images on this set, so many

possibilities and so adorable. The sentiment I used is from PTI Scrolling Script.

Here's the shot of the starts when catches the light. I used Delicata ink on the stars to give sort a

mystical feel. Though probably it only looks mystical to me hehe..ha! 

Here's another look of the card.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and have inspired you to join us :)

Thinking of You

Hello Everyone...

I am so happy I get to participate at CASology and Addicted to Stamps this week.

I am so in love with dark distressing right now...I guess because its the fall season.

Its just that we have mist every morning here....which I really love. The cool weather is really nice :)

Without further ado....here's what I created for both challenges.

First I stamp and fuzzy cut my images, after everything is adhere to my panel, I then distress

my panel with Black Soot by Ranger. I just made sure to apply the distress very lightly since this color

is very strong...I just keep adding as I go along.

 I then adhere the panel on my cardstock.

More distressing here at the bottom. I used one of the images from Autumn Pattern Pieces from

PTI the Plaid image for more of a country feel :)

The stamps I used for this card are from Wplus9 Fresh Cut Florals, for my vase I use stamps from

Milk and Cookies, PTI Cutting Garden, Mini Bloom, and Autumn Pattern Pieces.

Here's another look of the whole card.

I hope you enjoyed!

Memento Gray Flannel. The flower for my card I made it using the satin ribbon from Michaels.
