Fruity Thanks

Today I'm up on the Hero Arts blog with a fruity thank you card.

Here you go with a sneaky peek.

Please stop by for the full card reveal and find out what I used to create
the faux watercolored background.

Also, here's a reminder that today is the last day to link up your project(s) for
Hero Arts Nature Challenge. You could be one of five winners of a
$30 shopping spree in the Hero Arts Online Store!

Hope to see you in the gallery...

 

CAS(E) this Sketch 115

Are you ready for Sketch 115 from CAS(E) this Sketch?

Here it is, compliments of our teammate, Sam.

Here's my simplified take on it.

Lots of gold with a strip of foil cardstock on the side, a Papertrey Ink scribble,
topped off with a Hero Arts butterfly and sentiment. And sequins.

Please stop by CAS(E) this Sketch to see how my teammies interpreted the sketch
and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, March 26th.
Hope to see you in the gallery!

Memory Box Florina Corner

Several months ago, I won this intricate Florina Corner die from a Memory Box blog hop.
 

I thought about leaving it uncolored and making a white on white card,
but I'm participating in Kathy Racoosin's 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Are you?
She's encouraging everyone to spend at least 5 minutes a day coloring something.
So I grabbed my Distress markers and colored this.

I confess to having a brown thumb and I don't really know what type of flowers
are on this die, so I just winged it. I adhered it to an ink distressed card
and added a gold embossed sentiment from Hero Arts.

Next on the agenda is to try that white on white card.
Thanks Memory Box, for the gorgeous die--it really pays to comment!

CAS(E) this Sketch 114

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 114 from former teammie Gayatri.

And here's my simplified take on it.

After white embossing a few flowers and leaves on watercolor paper, I ink distressed
 each image with dye inks. I stamped the sentiment and die cut the center portion.
The card was attached to a top folding card and the center panel was popped up
with a double layer of dimensional tape.

and you could be our next guest designer!

CAS(E) this Sketch 113

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 113, brought to you by N@Ali.

And here's my take on it.

After ink distressing and water spattering a piece of watercolor card stock,
I attached a large Bold Blossom and leaf, together with a hand cut stem.
The sentiment is from a very old American Crafts stamp set and finished off
with a few black enamel dots.
