This is my second card for Time Out's 'quick' challenge which was even faster than the first, as I already had some alcohol inks blended for the Stamplorations die cut butterfly. The three stamped strips are PTI's Watercolour Wonder - an oldie but still a goodie!
Happy stamping!

Hello, happy weekend to you,
The latest CASology challenge, 'wheat,' inspired me to ink up these sweet cupcakes from MFT:
I normally make my CASology cards a little simpler than this but I kept adding elements like the stencilled brick background, the tiny frame and scalloped edge at the top. It's still clean though, so I think I can get away with it.
I've also used the colours from MFT's Colour Challenge 154 and I'm popping it over to Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday challenge where 'anything goes.'
Happy stamping!

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!
I'm still in clean and simple mode with a very quick card combining AAA's Along the Edge challenge and Time Out's 'quick' challenge:
There's the option of using snowflakes for AAA so I embossed CAS-ual Friday's Snowy Sayings, then blended a trio of distress inks over the top. I added a simple die cut from Memory Box (I think) and a strip of sparkly card stock. Took about 15 minutes - believe me, that's quick by my standards!
Happy stamping!

I combined the pretty colour colour palette with the simple layered sketch over at CAS(E) This Sketch.
The stamp is called 'Blossoming' from Stamplorations - I never feel as though I do this stamp justice but for once I'm happy with how the colouring came out. Makes a change!
Happy stamping!

Hello inkers!
It's been a while since I've played along at CASology Their cue card this week is 'stag' so I used this fun image from Your Next Stamp called Reinbeer:
The background is CAS-ual Friday's Amazeballs - it kind of made me think of the bubbles in a beer. I'm also popping it over to The Paper Players who have a clean and simple holiday challenge and Simon Says Stamp's Christmas themed Wednesday Challenge.
Happy stamping!

Hello folks,
At last, a couple of cards - the first is for Less is More's 'blue and silver ' challenge:
The second card is for both MFT's Sketch and Colour Challenges. I stamped one of Birdie Brown's older stamps - Warmest Wishes, which has actually just been re-released from the MFT vault. The snowy background has been masked with masking fluid, with Summer Splash blended over the top using the Cloud Stencil.
Happy stamping!

The challenge is to CASe Sharon's beautiful card. I wanted to go with a masculine version so coloured some fishing themed images with some Copics and distress inked a watery strip to set them against. The sentiment's from Mama Elephant.
Thanks for stopping by,
Claire
