CASE cards!

If you are looking for my Hero Arts Blog Hop Post 

please go here.

I have had a good week and found more time to play with my new stamps and also some new dies.  I used the same design on this card as I did to the card in my previous post here.  I also used a new ink that I have just received, its  Hero Arts Pale Tomato and I love it.  The die is from Simon Says.

Here you can see that I raised the image on pop dots to make it a little more interesting.

 My second card is for the Challenge over at CAS(E) this sketch, again I used the Pale Tomato ink  and stamped it onto some patterned paper.  I have used another die from Simon Says for the edges.

Looking forward to the weekend, hubby is taking me out tomorrow!!

Sorry another CAS card!!!!

I have recently found the CAS(E) Challenge Blog and love the idea of the two challenges combined, a sketch and a CAS card, I find both of these take a lot of thought and really test my creativity.  I have dusted off an older Hero Arts stamp for this one, I haven't used the Large Blooms for ages.

Its another wet and cold weekend in the UK, I have just helped my daughter run a stall at her schools summer fete and we have both arrived home drenched and cold, even though the weather was bad a lot of people turned up and I am sure they have raised quite a few pounds for the school funds.

I hope the weather is better where you are.

Some More CAS cards!

 I decided to have another go at the Addicted to CAS challenge this week, I am playing with CAS a little more now and trying to perfect the style. Here is my Rainbow of flowers for this weeks challenge with added sparkle to the flower centers.

I also had time today to make a card for the CASual Friday challenge this week following the Tic Tac Toe board I went with the Polka Dots-Square card_Birthday line. The photo is a little dark as its not so sunny today.

This card also fits the sketch  this week at the CAS(E) this sketch challenge. The Polka Dot Ribbon stamps are from an old Hero Arts set that I got at a car boot sale, a real bargain too!!
Just realized I am too late with this one, nevermind!!

Hope you are having a good week.

Baby.

I have had time to make two cards today for two separate challenges.  This first card is for the CAS(E) sketch challenge , quite a hard one this week but I had to have a try,

The second card is for the Simon Says Blog "Anything Goes" challenge.

I am back to using my Postcard stamp again, I just love the shaped card it creates,  the butterfly is stamped onto a wine label and then coloured, the photograph is a bit dark but  its a lovely shade of purple.

I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend after a very busy week at work, hope your weekend is relaxing too.

A new CAS challenge!!

I have just found this new challenge blog for CAS cards and decided to have a go, I like the sketch idea, I always find sketch challenges a bit harder to do and I need to get my brain working!!

I got so engrossed in it that I actually made two cards.

I love this beetle car stamp and it always looks fun paper pieced.




 This is my second card, using die cuts and my dogs tooth embossing folder.
I am also entering these in the CAS-ual Friday challenge.

At last we have some spring like weather here and I have been out in the garden tidying up and planting some seeds.  I hope it lasts!
