A Merry Pink Christmas

I'm up on the Hero Arts blog today with a holiday card in non traditional PINK!

Here's a sneaky peek.

I'd be tickled if you'd visit Hero Arts for the full card reveal and the instructions
on how the card was created.

Virginia's View Challenge #8--Clean and Simple

Just popping in to share my card for Challenge #8 at Virginia's View--Clean and Simple.

For my card I used Altenew's origami elephant and tried Tasnim's
no line watercoloring technique. Please don't look too closely; it looks better from afar.
And if you squint your eyes.

After stamping the sentiment, I realized it's now a sympathy card. Oops!
I'll try the technique again and use a "happier" sentiment.
The card was finished off with Pretty Pink Posh sparkling clear sequins.

You have until October 18th to link up your clean and simple project
and the prize sponsor is Simon Says Stamp.

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 95, courtesy of Chrissy.

And here's my take on it.

I dabbled some Peerless Watercolors on the My Favorite Things Skyline die
and spattered some white ink in the background.The sentiment is from
Paper Smooches and lastly I added a Studio Calico gold puffy heart.

Hero Arts Handmade for Christmas Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Hero Arts Handmade for Christmas Blog Hop!

You should have arrived from Kelly's blog or you can start here at the beginning
because there are prizes for commenting, and as you know the more you comment,
the higher your odds of winning!

My card uses the new Christmas Crystals clear stamps. As soon as I saw the set,
I knew that I wanted to watercolor them.

I gold embossed the largest crystal ornament and filled in the facets
with Peerless Watercolors. The ornament is hanging from Lisa's Pen and Ink Fir branch
and I chose a non holiday sentiment because of all the dazzle and bling!

Your next stop on the hop is Tami, and I can't wait to see her fabulous project!
Don't forget to leave comments along the way because there's a huge GRAND prize
of $75 in Hero Arts goodies, and two $10 gift cards for the Hero Arts online store!

Happy hopping and good luck!

CASology--Flutter

It's been a while since I joined CASology's challenges and decided to jump in

after I saw this week's cue word.

Here's my card.

Fluttering leaves. I had a bunch of ink distressed leaves in my scrap pile
and attached them to a skinny card to depict fluttering.
The sentiment is from Jane's Doodles.

I'm off to peruse the gallery. Thanks for stopping by!

CAS(E) this Sketch 94

Here's CAS(E) this Sketch 94 designed by moi.

And here's my totally literal take on it.

Yep, I'm still playing with Peerless Watercolors. I just love the vibrancy of the colors!
If you look closely, the feathers are inlaid and form one single piece.
I dabbed some colors on each feather and spattered the card with dark ink.
The sentiment is from Hero Arts.

Visit CAS(E) this Sketch to see how the rest of the design team interpreted the sketch
and join us if you can. Link up your card(s) by Thursday, October 2nd.
