CAS - butterfly

**EDIT- The original photo didn't do it justice & I couldn't take a photo that would, so I had to scan it, now you can't see the vellum wings as the scanner lid squashed them flat.... **





At SCS I stumbled across a CAS Challenge which means clean & simple, I got my idea from Susan's card it's very similar, I just altered mine slightly, thanks for the idea & inspiration Susan!!!

Recipe:
White texture CS
Score Pal
paper piercer
Rhinestones
Cricut carts Used:
Mini Monograms for the scallop square & inner squares
Teardrop for the butterfly cut, twice with CS & Vellum
George for the layered flowers

I'm back!!!

Hi Everyone... I'm back!!! Thaks for all the emails I received while we were moving, it's great to be back, I missed checking out all your blogs & all the challenges, so needless to say as soon as we got the internet back, I jumped on here straight away.

So here are a few cards I made over the last 2 nights in my new scraproom, which is actually a bungalow out the back, it is great & big too :)

The next 4 cards are for our Aussie card swap - Male Birthday Cards




I used the sketch from Christmas & Birthday Cards and the challenge from Saturday Challenge - Transport

I used a stamped image received in our swap, so I don't know the details sorry, a scalloped edged cirle punch, a circle with a silhouette circle from George cricut cartridge & 2 hearts also from George, ribbon from my stash & See D's birthday wishes stamp. I rubbed bronze ink over the image to give it the vintage look.



I really love this one, I used the sketch from CPS #105. PP is KaiserKraft teenage grunge, silver textured paper Stampin' Up image coloured with watercoloured pencils on blue woven PP & a See D's Happy Birthday stamp.



Just kind of made this up as I went along, had no real idea on how I wanted to do it but ended up using a Stampin' Up stamp, circled PP for the challenge at DCM & It's your day is cut from George cricut cart.



I used the Kazan's sketch for this one, but varied it slightly using a tag instead of a circle, also using the yellow & blue colour challenge from Arty Girlz. The image is another one from our swap, so have no info on it. The tag is cut from George cart.

These ones were just to add to my stash



This is a little card made with the sketch from Sketch this & the challenge from MTTC - Hats. Finished it off with some rhinestones & KindyGlitz.



This is a rather large card, made with the sketch from Mojo Monday #76 & the Hot Chocolate colour combo challenge from PWC - pink, orange & brown. Finished it off with some rhinestones & KindyGlitz.



A friend in England sent this WOJ stamped image to me, it is soooo cute, so I used it for the WOJ Lavendar & Lace challenge. I coloured it in the purples to cover the lavendar part & used lace down the side. The frame is cut from George cart, a coiled embellie & a coloured safety pin to hold on the sentiment stamp, finished it off with some KindyGlitz on the flowers.

Thanks for looking at my cards, well back to my scraproom to make some more, its amazing the withdrawals I had not making any cards haha

Thank you

I love this Sarah Kay stamp, so I used it with the sketch from Magnolia Vs Stampaive Challenge

I stamped a floral border around the edge of the image in baby blue ink, stamped the flowers & swirls onto the CS with white ink, but it wasn't bright enough for me, so I went of it with a white gel pen, the Thank you stamp is from Fiskars Wedding clear stamp set. I cut out the butterflies twice, once with PP & then with vellum, with my cricut using the TD cartridge, added a few buttons to finish it off. I really love how it turned out, although I feel the scanned image does it justice.

CPS #98

I made this birthday card for a friend of ours who loves fishing, I used the sketch from CPS The stamp is Cape Arago Rubber Stamps but I don't know much more than that as I received it in a swap, I coloured it with watercolour pencils & added glossy accents to the water & the fish to give it that "wet" look. I used mulberry paper to give it some texture, as I find with most male cards, they lack something without all the "pretties" :)

Caarvarks - Calico challenge

This card is made with the sketch from Caarvarks by Becky Fleck from Page Maps. I don't know which company the stamps are from, I received them in a stamp swap a long time ago & now I finally get to use them for my nephews 30th birthday card.

I'm a Verve Challenge Champion!

The challenge at SCS was a lot of fun, there were 4 daily challenges & these are mine.


VSLFL1 - Birthday Wishes


This cute little WOJ stamp was too big for the scallop punch I wanted to use, so after tamping the image, I scanned it & resized it, coloured it in with watercolour pencils & added some KindyGlitz to the cake topping. Used Bazzill Basics, flowers, buttons & a rhinestone to finish off. Oh the Birthday Wishes is a See-D's stamp

VSLFL2 - Lizzie



I received this WOJ stamped image from a friend & she is so cute, I just had to use her. I coloured her in with watercolour pencils, cut the scallop edging with my cricut, used Bazzill Basics, some KindyGlitz, a flower, button & rhinestones

VSLFL3 - Happy Birthday


SU! Fishy Friends stamps are sooo cute, I only received these at Christmas (pressie to self haha) so I had to play with them, did the scalloping with my cricut, added ribbon, a flower & rhinestone.

VSLFL4 - Summer by the sea


Ok... another pressie to self... the SU! Summer by the Sea set, these are gorgeous!! I wanted to use this image for the card, but it was way too big , so I stamped it, scanned it & resized it. I love it against the mulberry paper & floral PP.
