Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week's Simon's Challenge is  A Bit O' Green

I stamped the shamrocks in various colors of green and masked as I went along. Very simple card that came together in a jiffy. I added sequins and beads and Liquid Pearls to the ephemera dotting the page. I hope you have a great Saint Paddy's Day.

Beary Special Valentine Card Prisma and Watercolor

Simon Says Stamp and CAS-ual Fridays

have new challenges up this week. The challenge for SSS is an  ANYTHING GOES challenge! How cool. I can keep creating for Tommy's charity card drive! 

The challenge for CF was to use a WATER COLOR TECHNIQUE and keep it CAS.

Honestly, this was so fun to color and paint.

The image is from Purple Onion Designs. I colored it with my Prisma Color Pencils. I added a piece of water color paper and created a water color wash with a three colors. 

First, laying down water on the WC paper and then touching on colors.

I popped it up off of the card and then added the sentiment from Penny Black.

Stay crafty my friends and join in the fun!

PS CAS-ual Fridays is having a 20% off sale until Sunday. Hurry on over.

Retro Sketches #150 with Altenew Vintage Roses From Simon Says Stamp

I used Retro Sketches #150 Sketch to make this card. I just received this stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. It was a birthday present to myself...you know, 

because I never get the clean house I ask for every year :)

 It's from Altenew and it's completely gorgeous. I can't wait to play a little more with it and get my roses just right. I used SSS Wednesday Challenge to create a Valentine/Love Card. I also used my Wink of Stella clear glitter brush to add sparkle to the rose and hearts.

The sentiment is from My Favorite Things and the small hearts are from the Sweet Stamp Shop

I love that the Altenew layering stamps are so easy to use and line up.

Have a super crafty day. I've got to go take the recycling into town and buy cheese at Costco. Hahaha.,,super exciting... I know.

Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge

Giving this challenge another go..."why" you might ask. Well, because I LOVE the color orange and I got this awesome new ribbon from my friend Amy in the mail so why not ;). Have you guys seen the new Retro Sketches sketch #48, it's great and fit right in with what I wanted to do here.

 I also wanted to participate in the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge , what perfect timing.

I used the Paper Smooches Picture Perfect Challenge  to get this card on it's way and everything else just worked. LOVE it.

This little guy makes me happy. He's super sweet.

Simon Says Stamp Paper Piecing

I made this card for the Simon Says Stamp Challenge on Paper Piecing.

I used my LC embossing folder to dry emboss the Kraft paper and swiped my Versamark pad over the top of it. I then embossed it with white embossing powder and colored in the negative spaces.
Hope you are all having a super weekend.
