A SUNNY DAY AT ATCAS!

Hello friends and followers - I hope Mr Blogger has been good today, and uploaded this scheduled Post.  If not, you won't be reading it!
I will be on holiday when this goes out on the 21st - (a "Big 0"birthday gift from Hubby) !

So peeps - it's time for more fun at ATCAS, and our uber-talented Teamie, Loll, is your Hostess this fortnight - here is the Code Word she has chosen for you ....

I used the Tim Holtz "Rays" stencil for My DT card - inked with

Distress inks - Mustard Seed and Wild Honey.

The white linen cardstock is from Craft Creations and the blue layer is Bazzil card - name of colour unknown.

Sentiment - computer generated, with a stamped exclamation mark (part of an old birthday stamp).

Once again, our generous Sponsor, Bugaboo Digi Stamps, is offering
7 fabulous digis for our CAS Perfectionist.

Hope you will join in the fun in the sun - see you soon!

Hugs, 

COFFEE TIME AT ATCAS!

It's ATCAS time again, and your lovely Hostess, Deepti, has chosen this Code Word:-  

Can't wait to see your Coffee creations, and if you need some
inspiration just pop over to the ATCAS blog to see what the DT

As always, your card must be Clean and Simple, with lots of "open space"!

For my DT card I have used the Bugaboo digi image - 
"Stop and Smell the Coffee"!

Image and sentiment printed separately onto white linen card,
layered onto SU Crumb Cake card base.
Image coloured with Copics.

A TEENAGER AT ADDICTED TO CAS!!

Hi there lovely bloggers, friends and followers - I hope this scheduled Post has appeared on my Blog, as I am away on holiday for a few days.
Fingers crossed that the weather is good, and the wine even better!
Get to the point Sylvia - OK -  I am here to share my card for this fortnight's challenge at Addicted To CAS! 

The Code Word has been chosen by the lovely Vicki, 
and the codeword is......... 

I have used the Bugaboo circle digi image - "You Rock" which is perfect for a teenager. My two teenage Grandsons have birthdays quite soon, so this card will come in very useful!!

The 3 banner strips are SU Real Red and Basic Black cardstock - torn at one end, cut with scissors at the other.

Music notes - Crafty Individuals stamp "Singing Merrily", which I masked in parts.

Splodge stamp - La Blanche (possibly discontinued now).

Circle digi cut out with a Nestie die - stars and guitar coloured with Copics and Black Sakura Gel Pen.

FOR YOUR INSPIRATION - WOW!

Hi there my lovely blogging friends - I hope you are all having a happy week.

**********

This is my second Post in two days - (otherwise known as something of a miracle in my crafty world)!!

This fortnight at FYI we have another amazing picture for you to work with - you can interpret it in any way you desire - I have taken inspiration from the rich shades of blue, orange and green. My "Recipe" is further down the page.

We also have an amazingly generous Sponsor this fortnight - Bugaboo Digi Stamps who are giving SEVEN digis to the challenge winner.  

The Design Team have also been offered some of their fabulous images to work with - do pop over to FYI to see what the talented DT have created.

  I chose the beautiful "Love Conquers All" image from the Silhouette "love blocks" range. 

**********
 Recipe ~
Black base card, 6" x 6".
White cardstock brayered with Kaleidacolor "Creole Spice" ink pad, then machine-stitched to the base card.
The Bugaboo digi was printed onto a separate piece of white cardstock, and lightly brayered with the same ink pad.  Butterflies coloured with Copics.
Corners were rounded with an X-cut punch, and a sprinkling of Glamour Dust added to the butterfly trail. The Tim Holtz Elegant Flourishes die was used for the black diecut swirl, before attaching the panel to the card with 3-d foam pads.
A butterfly was cut out from a second print-out of the image, coloured with Copics and attached to the card.
