CAS Watercolour Heart Reminder

If you need a late Valentine or a Heart card please join the fun.

More Gorgeous cards by our DT and talented GD Sue (Sue's Card Craft)

Here is the card I made for my DH, Denny using Cling Wrap Brushos Die Cut Heart!

I used this cling wrap background for my Die Cut Heart.

I used Purple and Scarlet Brushos.

I began by Dry EB the bottom of SU Thick Whisper White Card Base with SU Heart Border (ret).

Then die cut the Cling Wrap Heart using the SU "The Heart Collection" (ret).  Next I stamped the Cupid and Love You from SU "P.S. I love you" (ret) using my MISTI, so I could repeat stamp.

Then heat embossed the heart with SU Clear EB Powder to make the colors brighter and more shiny. 

Next I attached my heart to a SU Sizzix Large Paper Doily die cut out of SU Whisper White CS and attached both to my card front.  My heart just did not seem complete,
so I attached
a punched foil heart from my stash and the rhinestones from my stash.

Now my card looked finished and well balanced!

You still have until the 24th to join us at CAS Watercolour. 

With Love and Happy Valentines Day to you all!  XOXO!

Supplies:

Stamps: SU P.S. I Love You (ret)

Paper: SU regular and thick Whisper White. Strathmore Mixed Media for heart.

Inks: Brushos Purple and Scarlet. Archival Jet Black. Versamark.

Accessories: Saran Wrap. SU Hearts Collection and Large Paper Doily Dies (ret).  SU Dry EB hearts (ret). Rhinestones and punched heart from stash.

CAS Mix Up January Cling Wrap Reminder!

Time for our January CAS Mix Up Reminder cards!

Stunning cards by our DT and Guest Designer, Christine (It's a card days night)!

Be sure and check them out for more Inspiration!

Here is my card.

Using Stamping + Cling Wrap Brushos on Glossy Paper + Die Cuts.

I had the perfect Cling Wrap background using Brushos on Glossy paper in my stash:-)

I had sprinkled several colors of Brushos (scarlet, purple and leaf green) onto Glossy paper from my friend Christine, our GD this month.  Then spritzed liberally with water.  

Placed a piece of Saran Wrap larger than the photo paper 

and scrunched it up to make lots of wrinkles.

Then set aside for several hours to dry.

I loved the more pastel textured looking shades, perfect for a baby card.

Next I die cut the larger layer of SU Thick Whisper White CS 

with CUTplorations Crazy Double RunningStitch Rectangle die.  

Then die cut the Square Peek-A-Boo window.

Another gift from Christine.  Thank you again my friend!

I die cut my cling wrap technique piece with the square die then stamped

the sentiment and birdie using archival black ink.

Next inlaid the square piece into the center of die cut square frame.

Then stamped the bottom sentiment and added the cute melon mambo birdie that I had stamped 

and fussy cut.  Next I attached the pink birdie to the stamped black birdie.

The sentiments and birdie were from a retired SU set..Nursery Necessaties.

I attached the image layer to fun foam and attached to the SU Thick Whisper White card base.

I was very pleased with the results!

Congratulations Shery and David on your sweet baby "Winter Rainbow"!

Big sister, Kathryn must be thrilled too:-)

Here is my Fall Leaves Birthday card for my forever crafting girlfriend,  Leslie (Running With Scissors).  Leslie has received her card and loved it.  I was so pleased:-)  Happy Birthday my friend.

What would we do without our crafting friends?!?  I made the Bister powder background for my leaves and butterfly while in BC for a stamping Retreat with Loll, Christine and Susan.  I borrowed Christine's Bister powders and used her Thick CS from a local printing shop.

We were playing with the Cling Wrap technique.  I sprinkled Bisters Powders onto my thick cardstock and spritzed with water.  While wet I placed a piece of Glad Wrap onto my piece and scrunched up a bit to get these cool lines and to blend the Bister's colors.  The hard part....waiting until completely dry.  I left my piece to dry over night then carefully removed the cling wrap. Wow!!!  What a gorgeous background!!!

I finished my CAS Card recently by die cutting several leaves using SU Leaflets Dies and punched out the butterfly with SU Itty Bitty Butterfly Punch from my Cling Wrap background.

Next I dry embossed a SU Thick Whisper White card front using a older Cuddlebug leaf EB folder (Leafy Branch).  Then arranged the leaves and shaped butterfly attaching with SU Fine Tip Glue Pen and weighting down with a large acrylic block until dry.   Added linen thread to leaves and stamped my sentiment using MISTI and Archival Jet Black ink.  Done...and loved the results!  The colors and textures are...I think,  Gorgeous!

Hope you get to join our fun Fall Leaves 1st Birthday Celebration.  You have until the 24th to play along.  Happy Fall Stamping my friends.   Hugs..
