Calling All Sistahs May Encouragement Challenge CAS13!!

HELLO!!

I'm here today for the New Challenge over on the Calling All Sistahs Blog!! 

EVERY Month on the 18th we'll be sharing a New Inspiration Challenge Photo!! 

Lets take a look at the Project I've made for the NEW Calling AllSistahs May Encouragement Challenge CAS13!!

I've used the Heart to Heart Stamp Set and the Peace and Comfort Stamp Set!! I wanted to use Therm O Web Deco Foils to mimic the BEAUTIFUL colors of the Inspiration photo!! So the Lapis Watercolor Foil was the PERFECT Choice!! For the first Card I Stamped and Embossed the Heart to Heart Stamp onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I layered the Lapis Watercolor Foil over the the Stamped and Embossed Image and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! Then I Stamped and Embosssed the Sentiment onto another piece of Distress Watercolor Paper and trimmed it down!! I added some ColoriQue Black Diamond Ink Splatters and added some Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops that coordinated with the Lapis Watercolor Foil!! In Real Life it looks so AWESOME!! For the Next Card I used the Negative of the Foil after I removed it from the Heart to Heart Piece!! Its one thing I LOVE about Foiling!! You can create 2 Cards (or More) with one Technique!! 
I Die Cut a Piece of Deco Foil Toner Paper to fit the size of an A2 Card!!  Then placed the Negative Foil Piece over the Toner Paper and ran it through the Laminating Machine!! I created the same Sentiment piece and adhered it to the Card!! To finish both cards off I trimmed a thin strip of Gina K Designs Black Cardstock and adhered it to the edge of the Foiled strips to make them POP!! 

Each month, on the 18th we will have an inspiration photo and challenge to spark your creativity.  You can use the photo or the colors or both to create your card to encourage, bless or lift the spirits of the recipient.  Then link up here by June 13th for your chance to win a $25 gift code from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps to use in their online store!!  You can use any product you wish, but if you are chosen and your card has a stamp or die from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, your prize will be doubled!!!!!!

Pin It

HELLO and HAPPY FRIDAY!! 

I'm here today as part of an AMAZING 50th Birthday Blog Hop Celebration for the one and only Michele Gross Owner Extraordinar of CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!! 

I've created a BEAUTIFUL Card for her today using some of my FAVORITE CAS-ual Fridays Products!! 

You should have came from the TALENTED Laurel Beard's Blog, if not please start at the beginning!! You can find the entire list on the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Blog!! 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the NEW Somebunny Stamp Set and just HAD to use it for my Card!! I wanted to make it more Feminine and add some Beauty so I paired it with the Pretty Posies Stamp Set and used the coordinating Posies Fri Dies!! I also used some of the Leaves from the Peace & Comfort Stamp Set!! I Stamped and Embossed ALL of the Elements and then colored them with my Copic Markers!! Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and Morning Dew Nuvo Drops add Sparkle and Texture!! I used Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Bundled Sage to Ink up my Cardbase!! Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and added some ColoriQue Black Diamond Ink Splatters and then some Therm O Web iCraft Iridescent Glitter Spray!! In person the Sparkle is AWESOME!! I layered the Elements with 3-D Foam Tape and then added a few Pretty Pink Posh Sequins with Morning Dew Nuvo Drops added to the centers of the Sequins to tie it all together!! I LOVE the way it turned out and think its the PERFECT Card for Michele on her 50th Birthday!! What do you think!!??   ;)
