CAS494 Thinking of You


This week's CAS challenge on SCS is "Things with Wings".  I decided to pull out this dragonfly from Inkadinado & use some Tim Holtz Distress inks. They are addictive!  I haven't found a list of matching cardstock, so I'll just be pairing them with neutral colors for now.

Stamps: Mindscapes Inkadinkado
c/s: white, black
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks

Until next time!

DTGD & Power Poppy Creative Confetti



Power Poppy has a new challenge this month called "Creative Confetti".  The theme this month is your birthstone.  Can I be honest.... I absolutely HATE my birthstone... amethyst. We even lived in Zambia, Africa where it was very common!!!    I am not a purple fan on any level, but it was my Gran's favorite color so it reminds me of her.    I took 2 different Tim Holtz colors & combined them to create the background.  I combined it with Ceal's Dare to Get Dirty on SCS. 

Stamps: Lilac Time Power Poppy
c/s: white, black
Tim Holtz inks, water brush

Until next time!

DTGD & CAS Sunflower


Today started the first day of Dare to Get Dirty (DTGD) over on SCS.  I combined Dina's challenge with the August CAS Watercolor Challenge ~ Sunlowers~

I have been a little intimidated when it comes to watercolors.  So many opinions on what brands, price point, etc.  I bought a very cheap set of watercolors & a package of brushes that was a variety of sizes.  I'm thinking I'll be watching some how to videos on Youtube!!

stamps: In Praise of Sunflowers Power Poppy
c/s: white, brown
copics, watercolors, stencil

Until next time!
