Festive Branch

It's the last challenge at CASology for 2019. How this year has flown by! The cue word is BRANCH.

I started with the Alexandra Renke Branch with Leaves die. I used some of my patterned paper stash and added white enamel to highlight the berries. Added a button - more stash reduction!

Come and be inspired by a visit to check on the creations of the design team. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

This is the day ...

CASology Challenge has a new challenge - and the cue word is FAITH.

Watercolour is not usually connected with CAS cards, but I find that if you contain the image to a smaller area, then you still have lots of white space.

The weeks are flying by and it's time for a new CASology challenge. The cue word is APPRECIATE.

Although we tend to highlight it at this time of the year, it's something we should be doing all the time ... appreciating the people in our lives, the little and big joys and blessings!

I've just watched the acceptance speech of Mr Roger for his lifetime achievement award for the third time. I love what he says ...

".... All of us have special ones who loved us into being. Would you just take, along with me, 10 seconds to think of the people who have helped you become who you are, those who cared about you and wanted what was best for you in life. 10 seconds silence, I'll watch the time. Whomever you've been thinking about, how pleased they must be to know the difference you feel they have made. ..."

Perhaps it's time to send one (or more of them) a card showing them our appreciation.

Come and be inspired by the creations of the design team. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

Winter Flowers

Are you ready for a new challenge?

CASology starts a new one today! The cue word is FOG.

This certainly was a challenge for me. But then the brain fog eased and I remembered that Simon Says Stamp has FOG cardstock. Then I thought of vellum ... it has a foggy look, doesn't it?!

So here's my card. I coloured parts of the leaves and petals with Copics.

I wonder where this challenge will take you?

You have 3 weeks to enter this challenge ... the deadline is Monday November 4th at 9:00am CDT.

Come drift on over and check on the creations of the design team and be inspired. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

Feather

CASology has their new challenge for this fortnight, and the cue word is FEATHER.

I found this wonderful stamp by Club Scrap in my stash. I don't think I've ever used it before.

I inked it up with Distress Markers and gave a very light spritz.

I just love the sentiments from the Uniko "Wonderful Day" set. A lovely mix of fonts. I layered the sentiment to preserve white space.

Added a couple of drops of Liquid Pearls in matching colours.

Here you can see the sparkle.

Float on over and check on the creations of the design team and be inspired. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

Happiest Wishes

It's time for a new CASology Challenge. This fortnight's cue word is DRAGONFLY.

I thought I would do some inlaid dies to keep it flat and CAS. To add focus and flow, I die cut some curved edges to make masks to add some shading.

I added Diamond Stickles to give those wings some real shimmer, and some Nuvo Crystal drops for a flight line.

Fly on over and check on the creations of the design team and be inspired. Looking forward to seeing your take on the cue word.

LOL

It's time for a new CASology Challenge. This fortnight has the fun cue word of LOL.

If you have a big stamp, you can always limit the size by cutting out part of it.

A little Tonic Nuvo Glitter Gloss to give it some shimmer.

Shimmery Wishes

We have a lovely challenge at CASology with the cue word of SHIMMER. It is a 3 week "summer" challenge which gives you plenty time to join in.

I started with embossing the grid stamp with Enchanted Gold embossing powder. It has such a lovely shimmer.

I stamped the shell, coloured with Copics, used a Versamark pen to cover it all, then painted with Perfect Pearls. Gives it a lovely nacre look.
