Addicted to CAS - Challenge #61 Showers

Hi everyone - haven't we been having some lovely weather recently?  Changed a bit today and had a couple of light showers this morning.

There's a new challenge over at Addicted to CAS and their codeword is "Showers".  

 

 Here is my card:

I decided that my Stampendous Rain Dance stamp would be perfect and stamped it with black Versafine and heat embossed using Judikins Iridescent Sparkle e/p, then coloured with my Promarkers.  I cut a mask for the stamped image and then used  my Water Droplets stamp by Designs by Ryn.  This was again heat embossed.  All the layers were die cut using Spellbinders Labels 1.  Final addition was a bow.

Thanks for dropping by - hope everyone has a fabulous weekend.

Happy crafting.

Addicted to CAS - #21

Hello everyone - it's that time again...........here is the latest challenge from Addicted to CAS.  Here are the details.  Your host is the very talented Harriet and here is the code word she's chosen: 

This challenge is Sponsored by -

 

 

who are offering a prize of a

$25 gift voucher!

Both of my cards use digi images but I'm afraid I don't know where they originated.  I've printed these images out and used a simple frame for each.

 

 

For the violin I've used my square nesties and turned the central one into a diamond shape.  I die cut four strips of music using my MB Virtuoso Music die and sponged lightly with Distress Ink Old Paper.  These were then added around the frame.  The sentiment was computer generated and die cut using Petite Labels One and again sponged inside the label die.  

 

 

 

For the umbrella image I used my square nesties and Labels Twenty-Seven and die cut the frame which I then put through my machine in a Cuttlebug music embossing folder.  I added some acetate to the inside of the frame onto which I'd stamped one of the stamps in the Raindrop Set (Designs by Ryn) using StazOn Timber Brown.  The border stamped on the base card is one of the background builder sets from Clearly Besotted.

Well, that's enough from me........it's time for you to pop on over to A2CAS to check out the inspiration the rest of the Design Team have come up with.  We can't wait to see your entries and visit your blogs.

Have a great weekend.

Addicted to CAS - Challenge #17

And here we are again!!!  lol  As we said last week's Addicted to CAS challenge would only be a week long rather than the normal fortnight, so today we have a brand new challenge which is hosted by the amazingly talented Loll and this is the code word she chose for you:

and our Sponsor is:

 

 

 There is an amazing range of goodies over here! The wonderful Cassie is offering the winner of our challenge an amazing $15 gift voucher!!! 

Here's my card for the challenge. 

 

 

 

 I have used the umbrellas from my Stampin Up Rain or Shine stamp set which I stamped onto a scrap of designer paper, clear embossed and fussy cut.  I set them aside and stamped my Water Droplets stamp by the talented Ryn at Designs by Ryn onto a piece of white cardstock using SU Bashful Blue.  I then placed the umbrellas where I wanted them and stamped the handles with Versafine Onyx Black.  The umbrellas were shaped and added using Pinflair.  The sentiment was stamped underneath.  

 

While I liked the card I wanted to emphasise "water" so I took a piece of acetate, cut it to size and stamped the water droplets over it using StazOn Silver.  This was added to the back of the card making sure it bowed out in the front.  This was all popped up on a 6" square card blank.

As you're reading this I will be attending a Stampin Up Extravaganza Day we have organised for the girls in our craft club.  We have the super talented Jenny Moors, who is our SU demonstrator, and her lovely Mum Sue, coming along to put us all through our paces.  I will try and get all our makes posted on Sunday for you to have a look at.

Now pop over to the Addicted to CAS blog and see what the girls in the DT have come up with to inspire you.

Happy crafting and have a wonderful weekend which looks set very fair for our village Duck Races on Sunday!!!  lol  We normally get rained out...........

Addicted to CAS - Challenge #16

Hello Everyone - hope you've had a good week and are looking forward to the weekend.  Well, it's time for another challenge over at Addicted to CAS and I am your host for this one.  The code word I have chosen is:

Our Sponsor for this challenge is:

who are offering 4 digis of your choice to the lucky winner

 I've used two Delicious Doodles digital images, the first of which is the Spitfire.  I printed the image off once on card and again on copy paper so I could cut myself a mask.  I also punched out a circle from copy paper so I could use both the positive and negative punched piece for the sun (which I'm thinking may be a tad too big!!!).  I used the negative circle to add colour through the space for the sun and then placed the positive circle over the sun to sponge on my sky.  I added the mask to the plane and tore some copy paper to sponge some hills.  I've used Distress Inks for this (Shabby Shutters and Tumbled Glass).  I have added Crystal Lacquer to the cockpit, nose cone and propellers.  I diecut the image and mat using Spellbinders nesties and then popped up onto the base A5 landscape card.  I rounded the corners of the base card using my Corner Chomper.  The sentiment is from Stampin Up Circle of Friendship set inked in VersaFine Black, punched using my SU 1" punch and matted onto a die cut layer.  Final touch was some thin black ribbon (cut out of a top!!!).

My second card uses the lovely image Pegasus which was printed out onto white card and also onto copy paper so I could cut a mask.  I sponged around the image using a mixture of SU Almost Amethyst, Lavender Lace and Perfect Plum.  I have used my Wink of Stella clear pen on the mane and tail and the underside of the wings (although not sure the photo shows that too well).  I die cut the image and white mat using Spellbinders square nesties.  I have then overstamped with my Water Droplets stamp by Designs by Ryn.  The sentiment is computer generated and I've used Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One on the edge and cut a slightly larger mat the same way.

Please pop on over to Addicted to CAS to see the wonderful samples the DT have made for your inspiration.  Just a quick note - normally we have our challenges every two weeks but this challenge will only last for ONE WEEK............with the next challenge starting next Saturday 6th July - so get your skates on and let's see what delights you come up with.

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Crafting.
