Just Us Girls #435

It's Word Week at Just Us Girls and our host Ina would like to see bold cards.

I happened to have a smooshed DOX background on my desk that looked pretty bold to me so I added a flower and called it good.

I've had the TH flowers for quite a while but I just got the dies which allowed me to put my daisy on the background.  It was stamped with DI and then I used a waterbrush to move the color around.  The sentiment is from PB.

How do you interpret the word 'Bold'?  For inspiration check out what the Design Team and our Guest Designer for the month of April, Karren Johnson, have made.  The winning card maker will be chosen Chic of the Week and have a chance at guest designing in June.

We'd love to see your card in the gallery.

CAS Mix-Up January

I made this card a while ago for the CAS Mix-Up Challenge and am just getting around to posting it.  I spent an afternoon playing with my Brushos and cling wrap and this is one of the backgrounds that came out of it.

I thought it looked a little like a jungle so I added the die cut MFT leaves and sentiment from TT.  I need to turn the rest of the panels into cards but that may wait until I play some more with the new colors of Brushos that just arrived.

If you follow me you know I've been sewing sofa cushions. They are done and into the hands of my DIL.  Spending time doing that put me behind in commenting and cardmaking.  It didn't take long for my desk, which is also my sewing table, to get covered with bits and pieces of new cards.  They'll be showing up here shortly. 

Thanks for dropping by.

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

I don't often participate in the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop but since I now have a couple of images that I can use for it, I have a card to enter.

I paper pieced the cup from Altenew and stamped in some coffee (that I don't drink).  The postage stamp die was cut from a snippet that I thought matched one of the colors in the cup and  placed that on some Ripe Avocado that I ran through my fabric embossing folder.  I'd love for you to join me in a cuppa anything you like to drink. ;)
