ATSM #496 - Make Your Mark

I used the Lawn Fawn Pull 'n' Slide Surprise dies for the latest Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #496 Make Your Mark.

It was super easy to understand how to use the interactive dies and I've already made a few cards with it.  

The part that took the longest was figuring out the scene.  What did I want on the front as well as the reveal at both the top and bottom?

And then there was choosing the papers--so many possibilities!  I was able to use up some scraps which is always a plus.

ATCAS #286 - Thank You

I used Lawn Fawn from the February release for my Addicted to CAS Challenge #286 Thank You card.  Too too cute!

I used the coloring stencils to color the tree but Copic-colored the mouse and bird.  That stencil was a big time saver so I didn't have to color so much boring brown--LOL.

CAS on Friday #312 - Botanical

Don't you love two-for-one cards?  Maybe you can do the same for the CAS on Friday #312 Botanical Challenge.

I cut out the PFS Floral Harmony Die from a smooshed watercolor panel then again in white.  I combined the two to create a simple thank you card then used the leftovers along with a scrap gold-foiled panel for a birthday card.  

The starburst background was an experiment using a hot foil plate and my replacement impression mat.  Did you know an impression mat can get sucked up inside your Big Shot?  Well, you do now and that's why I have a new one!  LOL.

ATSM #495 - Diecuts and/or Stencils

Do you see what I see?!  Yet another Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge is upon us!

I created a birthday card that would be perfect for a birder or anyone who loves a pun.  Just so very cute!

Although the images I colored up with Copics, I did using the coloring stencil for the tree.  That's just a lot of ho-hum brown to do by hand. Hmm, I see now that my mice are brown but that's happenstance!  LOL.
