Time Out #191

The challenge at Time Out is to be inspired by a movie.  See if you can guess what movie I chose.

If you guessed "Cocktail" starring Tom Cruise, you're right.  I used these lovely little stamps from Newton's Nook, colored with Zigs.  I stamped the sentiments that come with the set in light gray for the background and added the cheers die cut from the set, layered three times and colored with Zigs.  What a fun card to make!

I'm glad you dropped by.  I love it when you do.  Please feel free to leave a comment.

Twofer Card Challenge #7

It's time for another fun challenge at Twofer Cards.  I can't believe it's number 7 already.  I wait every month to see what the next theme will be.  This month it's "beverage".  I have a couple of tea cup stamps but just to be different I went with a bottle stamp from Altenew.

For the first card I stamped the solid image several times using my MISTI and Altenew Turquoise ink, inking only the sides on subsequent stampings.  

The flowers are layered stamps from Altenew and the sentiment is from Dare2B Artsy.  (Yay! for Evernote.  I couldn't remember where it was from so I checked with them.)  

For the second card, I used the outline of the bottle.  I hope that's cricket. 😓

They are stamped in VersaFine Smokey Gray and colored with Zigs.  The sentiment for this birthday card is from CPD.  It's funny how some Zig colors blend a lot better than others.

Thanks for dropping by.  If you haven't already, I hope you check out this challenge.

Inkspirational #149

Inkspirational has a photo image to inspire us for this challenge.

One "out of the box" card under my belt and now I'm back to my old literal interpretations. 

I stamped the bottles from Altenew in Delicata gold and then watercolored them with the same gold and Seedless Preserves Distress Ink.  Some gold spatters and die cut sentiment from MFT and the card is done.  I decided this would make a nice anniversary card.

Thanks for dropping by.  I'm up to my ears in gift card holders for my grandchildren.  I'll post them when I'm done.

Addicted to CAS # 113

It's time for another challenge at Addicted to CAS and Anja has chosen this as the code word:

The first thing I thought of was the clinking of glasses and the saying of the word.  I don't have any glass stamps so I used the next best thing.

The bottles are from Altenew colored with Zigs.  I thought I need a little pizzaz so I did the MFT sentiment from some plaid paper and glued it onto black fun foam.   Oh, and I coated the bottles with Glossy Accents.  Too bad that doesn't show up in the photo.

Where will the word take you?  Hopefully to a card you post to the Addicted to CAS gallery. You could win a $10 gift card from Stamplorations.  First why not check out what the Design Team and guest designer Jill V. have made and remember the cards must be clean and simple.

Cheers,

CASology #250

Loud can mean many things.  Generally I think of music, like when cars going by have their bass on loud and the walls shake.  I have nothing along that line to make a card for CASology but I got an inspiration for a card from the sentiments on a Hero Arts set called Yay!  I didn't use that particular stamp but I did find enough to make this.

This is a graduation card for one of our young girls at church.   She just happens to be on the Pom Squad and although they don't use megaphones, or actually cheer for that matter, I thought she'd like this in our school colors.  I actually made the megaphone from a party hat stamp from W&W, watercoloring it with DI.  The size relationship lets you know that those cheers are really LOUD.

Thanks for dropping by.  Have a great weekend.
