Wishing you Sunshine

Happy Monday!

Time for this week's sketch from From The Heart Stamps.

 

I used both the sketch and the twist ( use sponging).

Surprise...surprise, I did a one layer card...without it being a requirement!

Hope you find time to play along with this challenge!

Mice Surprise!

Happy Monday!

Here we go with this week's sketch from FTHS.

 

 

 I just did the sketch this week. 

The twist was to make a masculine card and I think mine is more gender neutral .

I used the Mice Surprise image that you can find HERE.

I colored the image with copics, and used the brush tips

 from the different colors to create the plaid in the balloon.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Gift

Hello!

Today we have a new code word at Addicted to CAS.

 

I happened to have Tim Holtz's Crazy Bird Accessories Stamp sitting on my desk

and I noticed that  there was a package stamp....so that's what I used and came up with this card:

 

I stamped the packages  with Versamark and then used detail black powder to emboss them.

Then I masked off a vertical panel ( used post it notes to do this), in which  I 

did a little rainbow sponging.

I did a really cool inside which I liked so much I kept it 

for the front of another card ( see below)...anyhow I made another inside.

Here it is:

Here's the second card : 

Getting the box to appear open was achieved with a little masking trial and error...in other words, quite a few gift boxes got trashed before I got the top to meet the bottom right!  LOL!

here's what I did for the inside:

I think I actually like the second card the best!

I hope I've inspired you to join our "GIFT" Challenge.

This great code word  was picked by Deepti 

and the sponsor is:

The prize is a $10 voucher to the STAMPlorations Store.

Have fun today!

'till next time,
