The Daily Marker day 20 and CAS color challenge

Today no sketch but a color challenge for my card.

You find this color challenge on the

CAS Colour & Sketches Blog.

I used the following stamps for my card:

Tim Holtz Bird Crazy CMS212

Tim Holtz Mini Bouquet CMS269

Tim Holtz Halftone & Rings CMS260

Good thoughts CMS085

I want to share with you how I made this card:

1. get the colors out and my idea was to use the bird stamp.

2. I stamped the bird and the flower on the card

and on a  post-it note for cutting out. After the images are cut out,

I coverd the original stamped images on the card.

3. When the images are covered I used the pear pizzazz

and the halftone stamp for the background of the panel.

4. On top of the background the sentiment is stamped.

5. The flower is colored with the Daffodil Delight

stampin'blend markers.

6. The bird is colored with the ink from the inkpads

and a watercolor brush.

Of course my card is for day 20 of 

The Daily Marker Coloring Callenge.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative and colorful day!

CAS and CS Lagoon

With the new Club Scrap Lagoon kit I

played challenge #117 on the Addicted to CAS blog.

You find all the details on the

Addicted to CAS Challenge Blog,

As my real stamps have not arrived yet, I printed the

mermaids tail and the sentiment first on 250 grs

white cardstock and cut it to cardsize and folded it so now 

there is a card of 4,25 x 5,5 inch.

Next I printed the tail again on copy paper and 

cut it out to cover de tail on the card. I got some of 

my Club Scrap stencils and inks  out to make a matching 

background by using belending tools in various colors.

In the end I used a wave and a dotted stencil to

create the background

amd adding some blue splashes with a brush as well.

Here a close up to the background.

This is how I created my one layered card.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

CAS Exotic

Here another CAS card.

This time for the CAS on Fiday Blog,

where the theme is 

Exotic.

Here is my card:

I used a very old Club Scrap rubber stamp

and sentiment. The kit is from 2012 and is called Tahiti.

I stamped the fruitbowl in green and brown and

colored the fruits with watercolors.
When finished I added a few light brown sequins.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Coffee and CAS 116

Today my card was inspired by the challenge on

Addicted to CAS

the clean and simple challenge blog.

My wheels are this truck, that sells coffee!

The truck a and coffee rings are stamps by 

Stampin Up!

I started by adding a little vintage walnut ink

to the background and stamped the coffee

rings with the same color.

The coffee cup to go on the top was stamped on green and white

paper and cut out parts from the white paper to add to the green.

The sleeve has been run through the crimper.

The sentiment is from a set by Verve Stamps, called

Typewriter Coffee.

Thank you for looking and
have a creative day!

CAS Sketch 233

with Michael Strong's cloisonné butterfly

in black and white to let you know that 

TOMORROW we have a 

Michael Strong Black & White blog hop.

You find the sketch challenge on the

CAS Colours & Sketches Blog.

I stamped the butterfly in versamark on parchment paper

and embossed it with black embossing powder and cut out

with the matching die. If you look at the background,

you might see that it is embossed with flowers.

The sentiment is from Michael Strongs Words stamps.

Thank you for looking

Have a creative day!
