AEI♥U Challenge #12--DIE CUTS

(Note: For my CASual Fridays Challenge post and giveaway, scroll down or click here.)

AEI♥U Challenge #12 is DIE CUTS--use dies and at least one Avery Elle stamp 

on your card. If you don't own any Avery Elle stamps, feel free to use a digital one here.

For my card, I die cut some banners using Avery Elle's Dotted Die Elle-ments

and papers from the new Brights and Sorbet Collections.

The sentiment is from Red and Goldie.

Be sure to visit the AEI♥U Challenge blog to see how my teammates used dies
on their projects, and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Sunday, August 3rd.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

CASual Fridays Challenge 134--and a Girl Friday Giveaway!

CASual Fridays Challenge 134 marks the last challenge for 2014.
Michele is generously allowing all her Girl Fridays to have a giveaway of a  
$20 gift certificate to shop at the CASual Fridays store!

More about that after I share the deets of the challenge which is TIC TAC TOE.
Create a clean and simple project using any three items
in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row.

For my card, I chose the top row: chevrons, black, sequins.

I inked up Paper Smooches chevron stamp in three colors of distress inks,
spritzed it with water and stamped it three times on watercolor paper.
The sentiment is from CASual Fridays Stamps, and the sequins are Avery Elle.

For a chance to win the giveaway, simply leave me a comment on this post.
The deadline to enter will be Friday, August 22nd--the same day the challenge ends,
and the winner will be announced on the CASual Fridays blog on Monday, August 25th.
Hope you'll join the TIC-TAC-TOE fun!

I'd like to take this time to thank Michele and the rest of the design team
for a fun ride! It's been an honor and a privilege being a Girl Friday 
and working with all of you! ♥

CAS(E) this Sketch 86

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 86 brought to you by Sam.

And here's my take on it.

I turned the sketch 90 degrees and simplified it a bit.
The butterfly was die cut from a scrap piece of smooshed watercolored cardstock
and the sentiment is from Mama Elephant. The card was finished off with gold spatter.

Please visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how my teammates interpreted the sketch
and join us if you can. You could be our next guest designer!
Be sure to link up your card(s) by Thursday, July 31st.

Thanks for stopping by!

Tag You're It!--Challenge #2

It's time for Challenge #2 at Tag You're It! and our awesome guest designer
is Ms. Doublestick Heaven--Laura Bassen! Check out her tag:

And here is mine.

I was inspired by the colors and the different die cuts on her tag.
I white embossed Hero Arts' Graph Background and ink distressed with two colors
of Distress inks on white cardstock.

The tag shape is a Sizzix Round Tag, and the leaf is from WPlus9.
The two part sentiment is by Papertrey Ink and Winnie & Walter.

Visit the Tag You're It! Challenge blog to see how Laura's tag inspired the rest
of my teammates, and join us with your project.
