I'm Here For You

Hello!!

Today i'm stopping in with a card i made for fun! I made it for Waffle Flowers Challenge and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - April Showers/Spring Flowers. I made some April showers with a little sun peeking out with some Waffle Flower stamps!

ETA (edited to add): Kylie was sweet enough to mention that my card is perfect for today's new Addicted to CAS Code Word: Showers!! You have plenty of time to play along too!!!

I started by die cutting the sun and clouds from white card stock. I stamped the solid could with a blue pigment ink and then the outline cloud in a dark blue pigment ink. For the sun i inked it up first in yellow and then added a little bit of orange ink around the center then stamped it. For the circle i just used the ink pad to color it orange.

Next i cut a stitched rectangle from blue card stock and added it to a white card base. Then i added the clouds and sun, some with foam tape.

I stamped three rain drops below one of the clouds, then stamped the sentiment near the bottom. Last i used a Wink of Stella pen to add a little sparkle to rain drops and the center of the sun, you can;t really see it but its there!! hehehe!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

You're Tea-riffic

Hiya!!

I'm playing along with Addicted to CAS today and the challenge is a sketch!! I am also playing along with Addicted to Stamps - Make Your Mark Challenge. I was flipping through my stamps and i decided to play with new Tea Par-tea set from The Alley Way Stamps.

I started by stamping the tea pot and tea cup on watercolor paper. I used my distress markers and water to color the images by just drawing a light line around the inner edges, then adding water and working the ink out toward the middle of the image. To make areas darker, i would add more marker and just a bit of water. Once everything was colored and dry i cut them out.

Next i found some green polka-dot pattern paper that i thought went well with the tea pot. I trimmed it down and following the sketch added some twine and tied it in a bow. (you can see that i moved the elements of the sketch down, rather then it being in the middle). Then i adhered the panel to a white card base.

I added the tea pot and cup to my card with foam tape. For the sentiment i first die cut a banner and then stamped 'You're Tea-riffic' on it. I also added it to my card base with foam tape.

I hope you have a great day!!!

Hey there!!

Today i have a card i made for Addicted to CAS Challenge and for Moxie Fab Challenge: Happy for Hexagons! I have these enamel hexagon's i haven;t used yet, so i figured this would be a perfect time to get them out!!

And since the word at Addicted to CAS was coffee, i pulled out The Alley Way's Breakfast Club set. I stamped the cup on a Kraft tag, one white cardstock and some white/grey chevron pattern paper from my stash. I cut out the chevron piece and the white oval and adhered them to my tag, the oval with a foam dot. I also added a little bit of white and silver hemp at the top of the tag.

Next i used the cup stain stamp and stamped a few of those on my card base. I stamped the sentiment with dark brown ink, but i stamped it off first.

I adhered the tag to the card base over the cup stains. Last i added silver glitter enamel hexagon's!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
