CASology 5th Anniversary Blog Hop

Melissa and her team are celebrating a 5 year Anniversary with a fun Blog Hop!

CASology is one of the first challenges that I joined and my CAS heart is always
happy there. I've also had the honor of guesting several times and Melissa
is always so gracious and wonderful to work with.

Here's a look back at some of my favorite CASology projects:

This week the cue word is BALLOON.

And here's my take on it.

I die cut five of Avery Elle's number balloons and inked them in rainbow order,
adhered them to a card and stamped the sentiment. Tiny clear sequins finished
off the card.

Happy 5th Birthday, CASology! 
Here's to many more years of CAS inspiration ♥

CAS(E) this Sketch 120

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 120 by former teammate Gayatri.

As soon as I saw the sketch, I thought "watercolor". Here's my take on it.

I wet a piece of watercolor cardstock and dropped some Distress inks over it.

After letting it dry, I stamped the images and sentiment and added a few sequins. Done!

Head over to CAS(E) this Sketch blog to see how my teammates interpreted the sketch

and join is if you can. Link up your project(s) by Thursday, April 30th
and as a winner, you could be guest designing on a future sketch.

Thanks for stopping by!

AEI♥U Challenge 16--Sketch

Challenge 16 at AEI♥U Challenge is a fun sketch by Yana. Here it is.

And here's my take on it.

I used the gorgeous bloom from Petals and Stems--one of my fave Avery Elle sets--
and popped it up on a strip of Sorbet paper. I added some splatters from the
Brushed stamp set, and the gold embossed sentment is a freebie
that comes with your Avery Elle order. Love them!

Visit AEI♥U Challenge blog to see how the rest of the team interpreted the sketch
and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Saturday, September 27th.

AEI♥U Challenge 15--Clean & Simple

Here's the next challenge at AEI♥U Challenge.

And here's my take on it.

I'm paying homage to my grass roots and finally inked up the van and surfboards

from Surf's Up. The sentiment--which translates in Hawaiian to "thank you"--is from

the same set. I added strips of patterned paper and a few enamel dots for color.

The gloss on the windows and surfboards were added with a clear glaze pen.

Stop by the AEI♥U Challenge blog to see how my teammates
interpreted the theme and join us if you can. The prize is an Avery Elle stamp set
of your choice, and the newest release will go on sale today!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

AEI♥U Challenge #14--SEQUINS

Challenge #14 at AEI♥U Challenge is SEQUINS.

Use as many or as little as you like, along with at least one Avery Elle stamp

and join the challenge! Here's my card.

I was going for a bokeh look and used different dot images to replicate the effect.
The sentiment was gold embossed and I added a smattering of sequins.
Have you used that word before? Smattering? Sounds sassy!

Visit AEI♥U Challenge for all the details and if you don't own any
Avery Elle stamps, feel free to grab a digital one here.
Be sure to link up your card(s) by Sunday, August 31st.
