Crafty Sentiments Challenge

Here's my first Guest Designer post for Crafty Sentiments.  I'm so excited (and I've so gotta stop saying that!)

This card uses one of the new digi releases, Pat.  This week's challenge is to use chipboard or cardboard on your card - mine is that little chipboard frame which surrounds the sentiment.  I inked it up with the same ink I used for the background, Memento Angel Pink. Yes, as per usual I used my nesties, a square and scalloped square and of course coloured with my copics.

Hubby did his arty farty thing when photographing, he said the blue in the background reflected the water in the image!

Now go and check out the Design Teams amazing creations over at the Crafty Sentiments blog.  

K Werner CASE

This is a card that I made after seeing a post by Kristina Werner but can I find the post, no! I've just spent 20mins searching for it!  Anyway, this uses my Hero arts polka dots background Cling stamp (yes, another one! And yes, I suspect this background will keep coming up!) I masked the area and stamped the letters using a papermania alphabet set and cut the Smirk paper using a scalloped border punch.

This card is for this challenge:

Cute Card Thursday - Text

One-Layer Wednesday - Overlapping

This card is for Susan's One Layer Wednesday Challenge.  Her challenge has definitely challenged me (and unfortunately for my bank balance has inspired me to spend!) This card uses a shall stamp I've had for ages and never known how to use.  I must say, I do love the simplicty of this card, CAS is definitley my fave style at the moment.  I sat down to this and quite a few other cards followed (you'll probably see them over the next few days).

A thank you

I took inspiration from this card from Simplicity, not convinced it's worked though! I think the original was twenty times better! Oh well, here's to the next attempt.
