A tropical Margarita with CAS-ual Fridays.

Hello, I'm over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today with this fun Margarita card.

The "Salty" stamp set and the "Margarita Glass Die" is so much fun to use and is perfect for any occasion in my opinion!  I decided to add a little tropical feel to my card by adding some flowers along  the rim of the glass.  I used the "4 Petals" dies and sponged some yellow ink along the edge to make them look like a frangipani.

I started by die cutting the margarita glass and then placed it in my MISTI to stamp it.  You could also stamp it first and then die cut.

Next I sponged some Catherine Pooler inks and used the Bubbly Stencil over the top using the same ink colors.

Then I die cut some flowers using the 4 Petals die and ink blended some of the yellow ink around the edges and added them to the rim of the margarita glass.

I added some gold glitter pen in the middle of the petals and adhered the glass to my card panel with dimensional foam tape.  I stamped the sentiment, fussy it cut it out and added it over the stem of the glass.

Less is More Challenge #443 - Sketch

Hello and welcome to my blog.  There’s a new challenge up on the Less is More Challenge blog!

 

For my card I’ve used the “Tweet Friends” stamp set from MFT.  I coloured the bird with CP inks and fussy cut it.  I stamped the sentiment and flowers onto a small rectangle piece of card stock and adhered that to my card base with dimensional foam tape.  I then popped the bird up over the bottom corner of the rectangle.

I hope you like my card and I have inspired you to play along with the challenge.  All you have to do is make a card using the above sketch and enter it HERE.

Thanks for visiting and I’ll be back tomorrow.

CAS-ual Fridays - Hello Gorgeous!

 Hello and welcome  to my blog.  I'm over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today sharing these two cards I made using some of the new release stamp sets.  I love the Flower Duo set, I think this is my new fave floral stamp!!

For my first card I stamped the sentiment from the "Hello" stamp set with some black ink.  I white heat embossed the flower,  water colored it using some CP inks and die cut it.   I stamped some of the flowers and leaves from the "Flower Duo" stamp set in grey ink and then added my die cut flower with some foam tape.

I am also entering this card into the current challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday which is Marsha's All Things Feminine.

The challenge over at The Flower Challenge this month is to use your favourite  flower so I’ll be entering over there too!

 

I made the second card a few weeks ago and shared it on my Instagram account.

I white heat embossed the flowers and leaves and colored them in with my Zig Real Brush Markers.

After die cutting, I adhered them over an ink blended card panel with some foam tape and liquid glue.

I hope you like my cards and I have inspired you to make some pretty floral cards.
