Hello friend CTS173

Went scrolling through some challenge blogs to get some inspiration!! And came up with this creation! Using the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch

Knew I wanted to use triangles like in the sketch so I pulled out a holiday set from Wplus9 called twenty fifteen. I stamped the image in versa fine black ink onto water colour paper. I then added the colours to the triangles. I went pretty random in the painting, did try a little to give it a ombre look but in the end it didn't really matter much after all the layer (wasn't to sure at the time what my plan was). After I finally figured out an arrangement for the triangles I took a picture so I wouldn't forget (cause my brain isn't full functioning right now apparently). I them pulled out the Hand lettered Hello die and stamp set also from Wplus9. I adhered it all together then decided to trim down the card front so I could add some colour to the side then stamped friend. Once that was all said and done and in place I added some Kennedy Grace Creations sequin mix Sunshine on Daisies. And that is my completed card!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

CAS(E) #141

Good day everyone!! Hope you're all doing well! I have a card for you today that was brought on by CAS(E) This sketch and the colour combo was from my friend Natasha! I had shown her all the new Wplus9 inks. I had just stamped them all out to check out the range of colour and she found a combo and asked me if I would make a card using it!! Here is my creation!!

Well with just getting the new inks and this fabulous leaf set (autumn leaves) in the mail I knew that I needed to become this sketch!! 

Before I started anything I die cut the square (from stitched square stax) and placed it on my card where I thought I wanted it. I then traced around it to help me know where to stamp the leaves so they would show up behind the square!

Once that was done I started with the outlined leaves, stamped both images. Once they were stamped I then went onto the solid image. I wanted ti to be offset so you could really see the outline of the leaves as well! Once that was done it still didn't seem finished to me so I then added the smaller leaf images to it!

For the sentiment I die cut the blessed die 3 times out of white card stock. I wanted it to be the Falling for Blue ink (and seriously such a beauty that one) so I smushed the ink pad over one if the dies before gluing them together! Of course its also covered in some wink of stellla cause who doesn't love some glitter. For the rest of the sentiment I cut up one from the doodle buds set and stamped around where the blessed die cut could be. 

Of course I popped up the square with the sentiment, cut the panel down and then mounted it on a white card base! Thats my card for today! I really hope you enjoy!

(other inks used were pumpkin spice, wild mango and warm wool all by Wplus9)

When I saw this weeks CAS(E) this Sketch online I knew exactly what I wanted to use to make this card!!!! And it turned out even better in real life than what I pictured in my head!! Love it when that happens!!

To make this card I started off running a piece of white cardstock through my bigshot using the PTI snowflake impression plate. After I did that I knew that I wanted to bump it up on another piece of plain cardstock so I trimmed it down!! I then die cut the square snowflake from Simon Says Stamp out of glitter card stock. I wasn't to sure what I should stamp the sentiment on…I first tried vellum but then decided to keep it clean and simple with the white across….stamped the Merry Christmas on there then added it to the card front. Same with the square die cut. After those were all in place I pulled out my PPP sequins and placed them on the card!!! And there you have it! Pretty straight forward!! Just love this sketch tho, so many opportunities with it!!!

Thanks for stopping by!
