Just Us Girls #560 - Wild Card Week

Yes, it's Wild Card Week at Just Us Girls which means there are 5 Saturdays and on that day the host can pick whatever she'd like for the challenge.  Angie is our host this time and she chose Word Die Cuts.

I decided to camouflage my die cut word.

The Penny Black pumpkins were stamped on Bristol and colored with Zigs. I cut the Catherine Pooler die from the middle and from three orange pieces, layered them and put them back in place.

The Design Team and out guest Karen Walker would love to see how you use a word die on your card.  It doesn't have to be hidden like mine. ;)   I want to thank Karen for being our guest this month.  I have enjoyed seeing all her beautiful cards.  If you enter our challenge, you may have a chance to be a guest.  I hope we see your card in the gallery.

The CAS Challenges - Christmas, Watercolor and Mix-Up

It's not often I make a card that fits three challenges and I really didn't plan it that way but when it all came together my card worked for three of the four CAS challenges:  CAS Christmas, CAS Watercolor and CAS Mix-Up.

It started with the Altenew poinsettia that I thought I could do in pink and red for the Watercolor challenge.  For the Christmas challenge I needed to use the word "peace" so I combined it with the Mix-Up challenge to add dimensional die cuts by cutting the word from EBE and stacking it up four times.  So for Mix-Up I stamped and heat embossed the poinsettia, watercolored it, added a hidden sentiment and because the tape tore a tiny piece of the watercolor paper when I removed the die, I added a few sequins.  I was quite pleased with the results if I do say so myself.

Thanks for dropping by.  I do hope you'll check out these wonderful challenges.
