CASology #327

It's a sunny albeit cold day here but it's cloudy at CASology.  That's their cue word for this week.

A few stenciled  raindrops are falling from the cloud made with an edge die cut.  The sentiment for this get well card is from MFT.

Thanks for dropping by.  Enjoy your day!

Addicted to CAS # 133

Tomorrow is April 1 and you know what that means.  Besides April Fool's Day and Easter I mean.  It means April showers bring May flowers and so as your host for this challenge at Addicted to CAS, I chose as our code word:

After I chose it I had trouble deciding what to do.  I had a number of ideas that I tried out but they just didn't work right.  Persistence paid off and I ended up with a card I'm happy with.

I used my MFT stencil to first put down some Stormy Sky Distress Ink and then went over it with translucent texture paste.  If you zoom in you may see the shine.  The umbrella is also from MFT cut in two layers of white, one of gray and one of DSP with a little silver added to the handle.  Then came the difficult part - sentiment.  Most of the ones I could have used were too big to keep the card CAS.  I ended up with this one from PB - sort of a double entendre. 

The Design Team and I look forward to see what you do with the code word.  You could win a $20 voucher from the Happy Little Stamper store if you enter a card in the gallery.

Tag You're It! #44

It's time for another challenge at Tag You're It! and the inspiration for this one is brought to us by Nancy Penir.

What a lovely spring bouquet in that umbrella.  I went with the umbrella theme but put my flowers on it.

I colored some translucent embossing paste and stenciled on the raindrops. The umbrella is a die from MFT and I cut the green with my decorative scissors (Don't tell anyone but my first stamping underneath didn't come out so well.)  The silver embossed sentiment is from PB.

How it's your turn.  Go on over to Tag, You're It! to see what the rest of the Design Team has for your inspiration and then link up your card.  We'd love to see what you create.

TIME OUT #29

This week's challenge at TIME OUT is "You can't make a rainbow without a little rain".  Quite the quote and open to many interpretations.  This is what I did.

I waited until I got my Penny Black April Showers to make my card with the umbrella.  All it took was some masking, watercoloring, a sentiment from MFT and some of those little raindrops. .

Thanks for stopping by.  Your visits and comments are always appreciated.
