fishes…


The base card is orange card stock with a layer of light teal and one of white card stock.
On water color paper I used a couple of teal shades of Distress Oxide ink to make a background, dried it and die cut it with a die from My Favorite Things “Stitched Arch STAX”.
With a piece of water color paper that I colored with Distress ink oranges I die cut the fish using dies from Impression Obsession “Little Fishes”.
To finish I stamped the sentiment from My Favorite Things “Gill Friends”.




poinsettias…


Luckily I didn’t donate this embossing folder in my mad frenzy to clean out my crafting supplies!
The base card is white card stock with a layer of gold metallic card stock.
Using a very old Stampin’ Up poinsettia embossing folder I applied Hero Arts unicorn ink to one side then ran it through the embossing machine with red card stock.
Next I applied gold gel pen to the dots on the embossed piece.
To finish I die cut the sentiment from Stampin’ Up “Wondrous Wreath” set using gold metallic card stock.


hugs…


Having a bunch of pre-made backgrounds came in handy again!
The base card is white card stock.
Using Waffle Flower “Oversized Hugs Print Die” I cut the shadow with mauve textured card stock and the sentiment with background I made using Tim Holtz Spritz for a shimmery effect.
With a cat die, unknown company, I cut the grey card stock.


easter…


So happy to be guest designing for CAS on Friday Challenge #306!
The theme is EAster so I had to bring out the peeps.
Using an egg die on folded purple dotted card stock I made an egg shaped card.
With the next die down in the collection I made a white egg.
Using that die with a grass die from My Favorite Things I created the grass.
The peeps were made with a die from Your Next Stamp.
The sentiment was also from Your Next Stamp.
The white egg is foam taped to the folded egg card.

What is your CAS Easter creation?

landscape…


The past few days I have been working on making backgrounds with Distress Oxide inks to use in future cards.
Checking out YouTube videos have been an amazing help!
The base card is black card stock with a strip of white card stock.
The background was to look like a sunrise near a pond.
The stamps are both from unknown companies.
