CASe this sketch

Another card for a challenge today - this time, it's CASe this Sketch. I went back to my cardmaking roots with this one - pattern provided by patterned paper, not stamps and inks.  This patterned paper is from Lawn Fawn.

Runway Inspired Challenge

I made a card earlier this week for the latest Runway Inspired Challenge. It was a hot mess.  I put it out of sight for a few days, and today I tried again.  Much happier with today's card.

Hello, twins

A friend of mine asked for a baby card for twins, so I thought I'd join in with both Lawnscaping's Clean and Simple challenge, and Virginia's View Shaker card challenge.  Now, I've never made a shaker card before today.  Never. So it was a bit of a steep learning curve, and I must say I'm not very inclined to make another one!  However, I am happy with the finished product. 

On the background, I used the technique of using Versamark to create shadows on a panel of solid ink (Hero Arts Shadow Ink in Soft Pool), which I learned in the recent Online Card Class.  I created a stencil to apply the Versamark using some Lawn Fawn cloud dies.   All the stamps are also Lawn Fawn - from "Plus One" and also "Hello Baby".  I had to create an extra bundle for the stork to carry with some creative masking (I've done this a number of times before with this stamp).  The window was cut with a Stitched Circle die from Lil' Inker Designs.

A Blog Named Hero loves Clearly Besotted!

I've got a post up over at A Blog Named Hero today - we're doing a collaboration with Clearly Besotted, and I'm definitely besotted with their gorgeous stamps!

 Here's a sneak peek:

Pink on pink on pink

I didn't aim to make this an all pink confection.  It just happened!  It started because I wanted to use a stencil I bought last week - Petal Pattern from My Favorite Things - so I did :)

I'll be submitting this card to CASology Week 131: Birthday

 and also to Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes.
