Happy Easter

It's CASology challenge time ... with the cue word CROSS.

As Easter is at the end of the week, I wanted to make a card for my mother. The Spirit of Easter is all about hope, love and joyful living ... all because He is Risen!

So I wish you all a Happy Easter ... may it be filled with the power and peace that comes from his resurrection.

Foiled leaf

It's Tuesday so time for the CASology Challenge. The cue word is FOIL.

Do you have a pile of bits and pieces that have been left over or unfinished? I have 3 baskets of them! So happy that I made this is a card from only those baskets of bits.

I had cut a bunch of leaves (like for this card), and paint brush piece from playing in the Abstract challenge a few weeks back.

It's difficult to capture the foil, so here's a different angle.

Rotating Flowers

It's been a while since I did any rotating stamping with my MISTI/Stamping Platform (I have both), but was reminded by Jennifer McGuire's post. However, since it would take weeks to get those supplies, I did the next best thing. I cut some stencils of my own using my Silhouette. I also had the templates I had made from the downloads offered by Maureen Wong - see HERE (and she has great videos too!). What I like about these is that you can decide if you want 4/5/6/8 rotations.

I used the hexagon for this one ... with WPlus9 flowers.

See through Masculine card

Taking a masculine approach to the see through cards. Covered the card stock with distress inks and brushed over Perfect Pearls to give a metallic look. The inside of the card is blue and there is a matching white panel lining up with the front.
