CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge

Hi all!  Here's to another Friday and better yet - a long weekend!  Wahoo!!  We're celebrating our 200th CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration challenge with a birthday theme! I created the background and also used one of the sentiments from the Whole Shebang stamp set. I added a little more interest with the Jumping Jacks Fri-dies and some glittered gumdrops.

CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge

HI all!  Yay for Friday!  We have a new challenge for you on the CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Blog!  

I used the Pretty Posies stamp set and matching dies for the sketch. I simply cut out two of the flowers with different cardstocks for an ombre effect, then stamped the flowers onto the dies with black ink.  'Smile' is from the Smiling Fri-dies trio.  I cut it out of black card stock three times, then layered them. I also added some black enamel dots for extra interest.

I'm just a little obsessed with this set.  ;)  The background was created by stamping with distress inks then using water to give a messy watercolored look. The flowers were colored with Copic markers.

CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge Time!

Hi all!  OMG it's December!  GAH!  I sure hope y'all are more prepared for the holidays than I currently am, Geez Louise...  Lol, it'll be fine.  Everything is fine!  HA!  Well, it's time for a new CAS-ual Fridays Inspiration Challenge.  Bring on the winter blues!  I stamped lots of the images from Bring on the Snowflakes onto my Cornflower blue card base. A few are even embossed.  I stamped that big, beautiful sentiment from the Merry set in Nightshift Blue and die-cut it with a circle die.  The smaller snowflakes around the sentiment are from the Merry set, as well.  A few glittery gumdrops add a finishing touch.  This also fits the FMS315 sketch.

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Time!

Hi all!  Welcome to a new challenge on the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog!  This challenge is to create anything but a card, so I made two tags!  I sponged the tags with Distress Oxide inks, then spritzed them with water.  The thinking of you sentiment is from the So Pretty stamp set.  The flowers and other sentiment are from a retired set.  Both sentiments are embossed with white embossing powder.

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Time!

Hi all!  Happy Friday and welcome to a new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!  The challenge is all about PINK for Breast Cancer Awareness!  Sooo, yes, I used the Mon Ami stamp set again, but it is just SO Pretty!  I did a cool technique this time!  First I embossed the larger flower with gold embossing powder onto smooth white card stock.  Next, I sponged on Razzleberry ink, keeping it darker on the edges, lighter in the middle.  Then I took a paintbrush, dipped it water, then 'colored' in the petals, essentially removing the ink just a bit.  Next I'll try with watercolor paper, but I love the result!  I layered the sentiment then added gold enamel dots.

Be sure to play along with us for your chance to WIN!  :D

CAS-ual Fridays Blog Challenge

Hi all!  It's time for a NEW Cas-ual Fridays Blog Challenge!  This one is nice and simple - to use kraft and white on your project.  I created a background using a flower from the Mon Ami stamp set, then layered a sentiment from the So Pretty stamp set over it.  I used my Mini Misti when stamping the sentiment because I wanted it nice and bold, so I inked it up twice.  I just eye-balled the flowers when lining them up, though ;)
