CAS Coffee

It’s time for a quick CAS card. The stamps are from Cas-ual Fridays Cup of Coffee Stamp set. I colored the mug/coffee with Copic markers and put Ranger Glossy Accents over it.

Circles

Here’s a quick card I made for Just Is Girls Challenge #500-Trend Week. I used STAMPlorations Retro Circles Stencil, some embossing ink and some Clear embossing powder to heat emboss the background. Then I used various Distress Oxide inks in blue tones to ink blend the background. The sentiment is actually a clear sticker from STAMPlorations. I stuck it to a vellum banner cut with a My Creative Time die.

Grace

I needed a masculine card for a cousin who needs some encouragement. I had heat embossed the sentiment and butterfly in gold on a black one layer card. I thought that it needed something else, so I decided to cut it apart and layer the pieces on some printed paper from MFT Stamps. The sentiment was die cut using Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle dies. The stamps are from Verve Stamps (closed now). I like it much better now. This is one of my favorite Bible verses.

Bloomdala

This is a free digital stamp by Sheri Russ at STAMPlorations in celebration of National Coloring Book Day. There is a Linky Party/giveaway and link for downloading the image  Here.
I printed it on Bristol 100 lb. paper and colored it with Copics. I cut out the panel, put it on a green card stock panel (Recollections) and adhered it to a card base. The sentiment is from STAMPlorations Party Time. I stamped it with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink on a vellum banner that was die cut with My Creative Time Ribbon End dies. I added some green and clear gems to the center parts of the bloom.

More Flowers

I love coloring floral images! This stamp is STAMPlorations Blossom Spray #2.  I colored it with Zig markers, adding a gray color wash outline, a few tiny gems for some dimension and that’s it. I die cut the colored panel with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Inside and Out Rectangle dies and adhered it to a gray card base.
