ATCAS #283 - Birthday

Not gonna lie, I love how my inspiration card for the latest Addicted to CAS #283 Birthday Challenge came out.

I masked a circle on the card front, sponging it with Catherine Pooler Oh, Boy! and Sand Castle. I then colored up the images with Copics and fussy cut them out.  Should I have added a speech bubble?

CAS on Friday #309 - Things with Wings

Come fly with us over at the CAS on Friday Challenge #309 where we're asking that your creation contain things with wings.

I made a birthday card while experimenting with my MISTI.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copics while keeping it in the same position in the MIST.  I then restamped using Versafine Clair Nocturne to really make the lines pop.  I had stamped and cut out the bees using just Memento and you can see how they're not as bold.

ATSM #492 - Christmas

Build your holiday card stash by joining in the Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #492 Christmas.

I joined the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club when I saw these cute skates on offer.  Look at all that detail and so easy to put together!  Frankly, the club membership is a good deal for all you get each month.  And this coming from a person who doesn't like kits and such!

I paired the skates with parts from a gift tag I made a couple of years ago. Of course, I had to add some red glitter glamor.

CAS on Friday #308 - Black, White & One Color

I must say Lawn Fawn's winter panda release made it super easy for me to come up with a card for the CAS on Friday #308 Black, White & One Color Challenge.

I heart pandas and Lawn Fawn! Now I did end up adding the border above after deciding it needed a little more cuteness.  Can never have too much cute!  Below is the original super-CAS version.
