| Very geometric indeed! Stamped the image, embossed it in white, sponged color on the paper, and then using the same sponge color palette I watercolor on top. |
 |
| I wanted to keep the geometric feel by adding an outline sentiment. I completed the greeting using a sentiment strip. |
 |
| I layered the 'happy' die four times in white and once using black. I did attach it shadow using acetate. I thought it would be a nice subtle touch. The black outline on top of the white really allows it to pop! |
Hello All,
Today I will be playing along with The Male Room. I have always said my Heaven would be filled with all my favorite food and drink on hand, calorie-free. So with that in mind, here is my card for today, enjoy! |
| This card was the gift. I explain in detail below, and yes it involves food. A cookie class to be exact. The apron and patterned paper set the tone for the cookies strewn around the card. |
 |
| The gingerbread cookies are from an oldie but goodie by PTI. The hearts and striped details were added by hand. |
 |
| Opening up the card you see another sentiment. Underneath would be the details of the event. I rarely do anything to the inside of a card but this seemed appropriate since it was a gift as well. |
Hello All,
Today I will be playing along with Color My Heart Color Dare, Global Design Project. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| Flowers and bees are images that always conjure up Spring thoughts. The background image was stamped and then sponged around the flowers using the same color to create a 'glow'. |
 |
| Using only two colors was quite a challenge! Why? Because of the leaves, which are meant to be green. So to keep with the neutral theme I colored them gray. It reminds me of the black-and-white photos that were popular in the 90s. The photo was all gray except for one item; like a red rose or green eyes. |
 |
| I wanted to give these pollinators a fuzzy-looking body. So I used the stipple method to create dots of yellow color. |

Hello All,
Today I will be playing along with As You See It and AAA Card Challenges. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| These beautiful flowers come from a new paper pack. It pained me to cut it up but I knew it was for the greater good.. 😏 |
 |
| Figuring out where to cut this paper took the most time. The entire paper is so pretty but without thinking about it I cut right in because I knew time was of the essence. |
 |
| Sentiment cut from simple black cardstock. |

Hello All,
Today I will be playing along with CAS on Friday and Festive Friday challenges. Both challenges are about Easter- and well..... I don't see how this card could get you more into the Easter mood. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| Created a stencil using an egg die cut. I started in the middle and worked my way out using Easter colors. |
 |
| Yes, this card is very colorful. Yes, this card has the same image multiple times. I would, however, argue that this card is CAS. Let me explain, Firstly, it is a one-layer card; Secondly, the image is consistent, graphic, and like I said earlier, a single item. Thirdly, and probably most importantly, the color. All the colors on this card are fed off of one another which offers balance and continuity. Plus, it took a second to make (well, okay, 5-10 minutes). |
 |
| A short and sweet sentiment. |

Hello All,
Today I will be playing along with The Color Throwdown, Just Us Girls, and their collaborator, Time Out Challenge. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| The background was stamped from colored cardstock creating a tone-on-tone effect. I then pounced the stamping ink on the panel and used a white pencil to highlight the flowers and its leaves. |
 |
| Then sentiment was stacked 3x for dimension. I also popped the hibiscus at the same level as the sentiment. |
 |
| The cardstock was also textured which brought some challenges. The ridges were especially apparent with the white highlights. However, in the end, it added enough texture. |

Hello Everyone,
Today I am playing along with The Color Throwdown (🧡the color combo this week) and Freshly Made Sketches. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| I wish I could take credit for this design but I cannot. I got the half-circle idea from where else, Pinterest. I just love how the design is simple and yet so striking. |
 |
| Foiled sentiment for a special person. |
 |
| Keeping at CAS! I like the way the leaf just hangs over the sentiment. It gives the sense of depth without the bulk. |
