Just Us Girls #834 - CASE a Designer

There are five Thursdays in July so that means this week's Just Us Girls challenge is CASE a Designer hosted by Carol Mc.

All you have to do is choose one of the designer's cards and create one using their idea but adding your own twist.  Please tell us whose card inspired you in case it's not obvious.  

My card started with watercolor paper, Distress Inks and an image from Penny Black's Garden Trio.  The image was colored with Worn Lipstick, Evergreen Bough and Forest Moss, with a light wash of Evergreen Bough on the panel that is inset into Curvature Frame, also from PB.  The sentiment is from their Sprinkles and Smiles. 

Now it's your turn.  We'd love to see your card in our gallery.

Inkspirational #372

Yesterday I posted a card using Simon Hurley's Mantle Village.  Today's card for Inkspirational uses his Mantle Decorations. 

The hardest part of the card was making the sign hanging from the mantle.  I did use Altenew double sided sticky sheets on the red paper which made it easier but those little banner flags are tiny.  The rest of the decorations were cut from scraps and inked for dimension.  The background is Honey Bee's Rustic Brick Wall, which resembles a fireplace, and the border is DSP from Craft Consortium. 

Thanks for dropping by and spending a bit of your day with me.

Peace on Earth #116

I'm way behind with my Christmas cards and I've been playing with some new things I got a while ago.  One of them is perfect for the challenge at Peace on Earth.

The dies are from Simon Hurley's Mantle Village.  They are all cut from scraps and antiqued a little with Distress Ink.  The background is the burlap folder from Honey Bee.

Krafty Chicks #830

I'm always in need of masculine cards so took the opportunity to make one for the challenge at Krafty Chicks. 

Back in May I made a masculine card using an older die from PTI that you can see here.  I liked it so well I decided to do another one, this time with PTI's Modern Cross Quilt from 2014.  I fell in love with Altenew's Coastal Mist inks, bought them recently and thought they'd be perfect to use.  I cut the die,  set up a template to stamp the crosses and inlaid them.  The sentiment is from Spellbinders.
