 Hello, it's Wednesday again!

Time for a new challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday and as this is our last challenge for the year, it will run for 3 weeks.

The lovely Marsha is our host for this "Anything Goes" challenge.

CAS-ual Fridays Slimline dies

Hello, I'm over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog  today with a card I made using the Pinked Slimline and Birthday dies.
I used the two circle dies included in the Slimline dies to make some balloon stencils. After die cutting the circles,  I just snipped a little triangle out  from the bottom of each one to make them look like balloons.  I used some copy paper, no special material required here!  I sponged various sizes over my card stock using Catherine Pooler inks and die cut my panel using the stitched die.  I die cut a white layer using the pinked die and adhered my stenciled piece directly on top.  I stamped the sentiment from Happy Birthday Stamps directly on top of the balloons and then die cut the Birthday die from black card stock for some dimension. 

I am entering into the following challenges:

Hooray let’s Celebrate with CAS-ual Fridays

 Hello, I’m over on the CAS-ual Fridays blog today with a couple of cards I made using the "Sassy Celebration" stamp set and the "Hooray" Dies.




For my first card I started by ink blending some Catherine Pooler Inks onto some white card stock.  Then I stenciled over the top with the same color of ink using the "Modern Petals" stencil.
I die cut the Hooray three times and adhered them all together.  The top layer is embossed with glitter embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment in black and adhered the die cut on top, offsetting it slightly so it looks like a shadow.  I added some 4 petals die cuts, matted the panel onto some black card stock and adhered it to a top folding card with foam tape.




For my next card I sponged some Catherine Pooler inks onto a piece of white card stock then placed the "Bold Trellis" stencil over the top and wiped it with a wet baby wipe to take some of the ink away.  I love the look this gives.  



I hope you like my cards and I have inspired you to get crafty!
