PDCC #144 & CFC #65

Hello there! Today I have a card to share that I made with two different challenges in mind. I will share all of the details of those challenges with you below. For this card, I cut a 4" x 8" piece of cardstock and scored it in half to make a 4" x 4" square card. I stamped, colored and cut out the word "Hello" from CSS' Ragdoll Carlie: Hello, and diecut clouds and a sun from PTI dies.



The color scheme is inspired by this week's Playdate Cafe Challenge #144 - Pink, Orange and Yellow.



And this week over at CAS-ual Fridays, the challenge is to make a square card - CAS Challenge #65.



That's all for today... thanks for stopping by! :)

CFC#64 - You Are My Sunshine {Clear & Simple Stamps}

Good Saturday Morning to you! I am so excited to share this card with you today. I just got *another* order from Clear and Simple Stamps filled with some goodies that have been on my wishlist for some time now... Of course, they needed to see ink right away! :)

So my friend, Laurie, has been raving about CSS' watermark ink, From an Anonymous Source. My Versamark pad is getting a bit dry, so I added this to my order, and boy is it awesome! I am so happy with the results. In order to test it out, I wanted to do a technique that I love, but rarely do - Emboss Resist. I inked up the Paisley image from Background Basics 1 using the clear ink, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. After that, I used 3 different colors of Ranger Distress Ink to create a gradient background. So fun! After that, I stamped the umbrella image from Cart Parts onto pattern paper and cut it out. I diecut some Papertrey Ink Clouds and a Sun and popped everything up on foam dots. For the sentiment, I selectively inked bits and pieces from the CSS' Wesley and Carlie Ragdolls sets to create a custom sentiment.



I made this card with the current CAS-ual Friday Challenge #64 - Cloud 9 in mind. :)



That's all for now! Hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by! :)

CAS-ual Friday Challenge #46 - Name that Tune

Hello everyone! Back today with an entry for the new CAS-ual Friday Challenge - #46 - Name that Tune! This challenge was so fun for me. I dug through all of my stamps and watched youtube music videos hoping to find some inspiration. It wasn't long before I found some! For this card, I used the Paper Smooches Perpetual Bliss set, and my favorite little bird from the My Peeps set. That little guy sure is shaking his tail feathers! *wink*





And, since everything is better when Brad Paisley sings it, here is the video that inspired my card:
