Just Us GIrls #822 - Die Week

Elizabeth is the host for Die Week at Just Us Girls and she would like to see sentiment dies on our cards.

We are adding a new member to our team - Denise Morgans from The Crafty Den.  Please welcome her as well as our guest designer this month, Kerry Parkinson.  Both of them will blow you away with their card making talent.

As for me, I pulled out an older stamp set to go with my die cut sentiment.

This is pretty much an Altenew card.  Their Beautiful Day stamp set was colored with Vanilla Cream, Coral Bliss, Heartbeat, Just Green and Hunter Green.  The background is the Garden Rose embossing folder and the sentiment is from Versatile Greeting #2.  

The Design Team has plenty of inspiration for you with a wide variety of ways to use a die cut sentiment.  I hope you'll check out their posts and then make a card for the gallery.  I'd love to see you there.

Color Hues #132

I had an embossing folder on my desk ready for a card for my design team when I realized it would be better suited for the Color Hues challenge.

The Daisies folder from Altenew was inked on the background side with Cornflower Blue from Hero Arts.  I've had that ink forever and it was still juicy enough although I did repeat the process three times and it's still a little blotchy.  The stencil helped color in the centers and add a little shading.  After trimming the panel and mounting on the card base, the foiled sentiment from PFS Perfect Sentiments was popped up.

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

Inkspirational #366

I thought I had used up most of my rain stamps for other challenges but when Inkspirational wanted rain I found a way to make it happen.

This card is all Taylored Expressions Over the Rainbow except for the raindrop stencil.  The rainbow was cut in white and colored with Distress Inks with Altenew Andromeda for the indigo.

Freshly Made Sketches #734 and NBUS #86

Jen M's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches encouraged me to make a card in a size I don't generally do.   To fit my image, I went with a 5" by 5 1/2"

That little monster is Chompster from Spellbinders, party of their Just Add Cake kit.  I ran the poor thing through a Bubbles embossing folder, added all his parts and rewarded him with the strawberry frosted cupcake.  The SP oval panel was embossed with Confetti Drop, also part of the kit, and it's all on a polka dot panel from my stash.  

I used the same die to make a card for my great grandson's birthday.

Chompster is eating an ice cream cone from MFT.  I gave Noah coupons for the local ice cream shop so I thought that was appropriate. 

This is his first outing so I'm letting him visit Darnell's NBUS challenge.
