Enjoying the Pony CASE-Press and CTS#128



Hi everyone!!!!


Hope you're having a great week so far!!!!


Finally my card for Robyn in Australia has reached her and I can post my card.  This card is part of the fun Pony CASE-Press over at my dear friend Mynn Kitchen's Blog, On a Stampage, and you can read all about it by clicking on the link in my side bar on the right, or on the above link.  I hope you will join in and play along - it's really great fun!!!! 

I was inspired by the colours and the watercoloured flowers on Robyn's beautiful card, as well as the tag.

 
 

 I have made this card for her:




The rose and leaves stamps and dies are from PTI.
Used a bg stamp from Great Impressions.
Some vellum, a twine bow, rhinestones and sequins round it off.



I've also got a card for the CAS(E) this Sketch Challenge for the week:

ATCAS #65 and Stamplorations Inspiration Project Post #21




Hi everyone!!!!!


I made two CAS cards last night.  My first card I made as a CASE for Vicki's card over at the Stamplorations Blog.  First time I'm joining in the fun over at Stamplorations!!!
Vicki has made a lovely CAS card with a sweet little bird on it, which inspired me to pull out a bird stamp from a local craft shop, Great Impressions.
Here's Vicki's card:


and the card I've made:





The sentiment stamp is from MFT.  
Coloured the bird with koki pens and given it some shine with 3D Clear Gloss.
Added a single rhinestone and it was done!!!




It's been ages since I last played at ATCAS.
The code word for the current challenge is 'Butterfly'  


I've made this card for the challenge:





The sentiment is from MFT and the butterfly from a stamp set by Crafty Individuals.
Coloured the butterflies with koki pens and given it some shine with 3D Clear Gloss.
Added a black strip at the bottom and a single rhinestone.
