Well, I'm not sure what's happened this week but I don't have one card, nor two cards but........ THREE cards for your delectation (hopefully!!! lol).  So draw up a chair, grab a cuppa and join me for a while.

The first two use images from the Clearly Besotted With Love stamp set which is one of the prizes up for grabs.  Stephanie is Queen of CAS and produces beautiful cards and I have tried to emulate her style on these two cards.  On the first one I have used a digi stamp which is a row of frogs, printed them onto a piece of card and cut to size.  I had three frogs left over from the row so fussy cut them out.  The water lily is coloured with Flexmarkers with the top layer decoupaged to give dimension.  I coloured the background with Pan Pastels, added the water lily and added two frogs on the pad.  The third frog is leaping over the lily with a coiled spring of wire.  The sentiment is computer generated and printed onto a Memory box cloud.  I added some bakers twine and popped the whole thing up onto the base card.

The second card used the flower from the same stamp set.  I used my set of Background Builder stamps and stamped the musical notes.  On top I popped the flower, again coloured with Flexmarkers with the flower decoupaged for dimension.  The sentiment is an old Anita's rubber stamp.  Again I've used bakers twine and popped the whole thing up on the base card.

My third and final card uses a Wee Stamps image called "Spring Bringer" (very apt I thought).   I've used my Spellbinders Exquisite Circles to die cut the layers and added Liquid Pearls and Stickles on her wings.  The sentiment is Stampin Up Whimsical Words stamped in SU Pink Passion.  The die cut is Spellbinders Fancy Tags.  For the embossing down the side of the card I used a Darice embossing folder called Lace, fussy cut the edge and mounted onto a piece of pink card and then added Liquid Pearls.

We are really looking forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge.  Please don't forget to pop on over to Addicted to CAS to see all the wonderful cards the DT have made for your inspiration.

 

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend - especially if you aren't snowed in, rained on or blown out (gale force winds.........what did you think I meant!!! lol)
