Dressed Hugs

Hi!
This was supposed to be my last post yesterday, but once I started with my duties around the house, it was not possible to get back here. Anyway, here's another CAS card whipped up to cover four challenges at Winnie & Walter. It is inspired by Crystal Thompson's rerun #34 card, September colour challenge, the WMCD dressed die cut  and CAS challenges.

Supplies Used:
W&W - Lola's Bouquet
            Hugs cutaway 
Nuvo Creative pens
Nuvo crystal drops
Letraset 0.1 drawing pen
Diagonal stripes were drawn on a scrap piece of cardstock with Nuvo pens, stamped with tiny flowers, then die cut and adhered on the card. two flowers were fussy cut and added as embellishment along with several crystal drops, for flower centres as well. An outline was adedaround the card with colour pencils. As the die cut wasn't very prominent, fine lines in black were added separating the colours.

Flower Wreath

Hi again!
    This card was made using another very old favorite from Gina K. I have made several quick note cards by stamping these flowers at random in the past, but never shared as they were always made in a hurry. Well today, I used them differently.

Supplies Used:
Gina K - Bring the Bling
MFT - Thanks SO Very Much
Nuvo crystal drops & glitter drops
Prismaclor pencils
The flower wreath was stamped using the MISTI and wreath bulider, coloured with pencils and finished off with a sentiment, adhered the panel to a coloured card, then added Nuvo drops for flower centers.

Flowers & Swirls

Hi!
    My second card for WMCD is also CAS. I love mixing up stamps, the flower swirls is my very old favorite, with which I always combine flowers from other stamp sets. 

Supplies Used:
W&W - In Bloom-Lola's Bouquet
Stampendous - Flower Swirls
MFT - Thanks So Very Much
Nuvo crystal drops
After stamping the layered roses, the swirls were stamped, followed by the tiny flowers and leaves. Some green ink was dabbed to cover the spaces between the flowers and finished off with green splatters of watercolor, the sentiment and crystal drops.

    I hope you all had a wonderful day making cards for WCMD. I surely did. I got busy crafting and hopping as soon as the challenges were up but could not blog as well. So I'll be sharing four cards in separate posts today Here's my first one layer card.

Supplies Used:

MFT - Thanks So Very Much (3 different stamps)
Lawn Fawn - Heart Stackables & Stitched Journaling (hearts)

The phrase and words (thank you, so & much) from three stamps of one stamp set were masked and stamped with the MISTI, then finished off with three die cuts which were covered with glossy accents for dimension.

A CAS card for MFT

Hello!

I'm back again after another blogging hiatus. Just can't help it. Besides work, there's so much going on that hardly any time is left to craft. Today, I took a break as I couldn't resist joining the MFT Card Design Superstar contest in my favorite category...CAS, but used kraft cardstock, instead of my usual white. THIS was my entry last year, it was extra clean and simple so I went a little overboard this time and I hope it will still count for a CAS entry. Here are some pics taken from different angles using my cellphone outdoors. Yet, they don't do enough justice especially to the gorgeous gems, the hues of which blend beautifully with the colours on the card.

Supplies used:

MFT die-namics -Fancy flourish
MFT stamp -Thanks so very much
Distress Oxides-broken china, candied apple, fossilized amber 
brilliance pearlescent pigment ink-coffee bean
Xyron creative station lite with adhesive
Hero hues gems
gold acrylic paint 
dip pen      
Distress oxide inks were randomly blended on a panel of watercolour paper, sprayed with water, run through the Xyron machine for adhesive, then through the Big Shot. Two of the die cuts were adhered whole, while sections of the third were used for continuity and to fill up the space. Splatters of gold paint were added, the sentiment stamped, then outlined with a dip pen and acrylic paint. Finished the card with a couple of gems.

This card will be sent to my friend from school who just takes my place and does whatever has to be done for my daughter in USA as I'm miles across the oceans from her. Greatly blessed to have such a gem of a friend.
Have a great weekend. While those in the path of Hurricane Florence and Typhoon Mangkhut stay safe. Prayers asured.
