Two Hearts

Time for a new challenge at Addicted To CAS where the Code Word is WEDDING. Our Hostess with the mostest is Vicki.

To make my card, PTI's (retired) Love & Marriage stamp set immediately came to mind. I tossed around a few ideas for my design, and finally settled on this very simple image and sentiment. I heat embossed the heart/silhouette in red and added the sentiment (I love that font!) below. I tested a few different embellishments including silver flecks, but in the end, I left it very plain adding just one rhinestone to give it a bit of sparkle.

Please head on over to the ATCAS Challenge Blog, take a look at the wonderful inspiration pieces the Design Team has created for your inspiration, and make something to share in the gallery. Challenge winner will be offered a Guest Designer spot for a future challenge. Happy crafting!

To create my card, I masked a panel on Neenah Solar White 110# cardstock and blended some Distress Oxide inks in fall colors. I stamped a leaf from Paper Smooches Botanicals 2  in VersaFine Vintage Sepia over the inked panel. The heat embossed sentiment is from Jillian Vance Designs Auntum Blessings set.

Happy Halloween

Creative With Stamps Challenge #30 is up and running with the theme of "PUMPKIN". Fall is my favorite season, and I love it when the fall colors kick in in art, fashion, food...

I decided on a Halloween theme. To create my card, I chose to use a retired set from PTI - Tiny Treats: Halloween. The set includes the tag stamp, which I heat embossed in black, then added some orange in some of the dots with Colpics. I die cut the center, heat embossed the pumpkin and colored it with Copics. I stamped the whole image again and cut out the sentiment strip, colored it and adhered it to the circle. I added some ribbon for the final touch.

Happy crafting!

Retro Thanks

I have so many things in my age old stash as I am sure most of us do... I love this Retro Rubber Challenge. The idea is to breathe new life into your old supplies.  It is preferable that stamps used are more than year old. This wonderful Hero Arts rubber stamp is at least 5 years old and probably much older than that, as is the DP and the Twinkling H2O's that I used to color the image. How fun! I am going to keep coming back for this one!

Thanks so much for coming by to visit.
