On the Blog at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps

Happy Wednesday everyone!! 

I am so happy for today because the week is almost over AND I am getting my hair dyed today. I have so much gray showing and it is driving me CRAZY. It makes me look old and I dislike that immensely! Nothing makes me feel better then getting my hair done. That makes me sound like an old lady, doesn't it? I always feel like a new woman after going to the salon. 

I am popping in today with a sneak peek of the card I created for the CAS-ual Fridays Blog today.

I have been combining old and new products and this was fun to create. Please hop on over and check out my post.

I thank you for taking the time to stop by. I hope you have a FABULOUS day!!!

MFT Camp Create: Coloring on Kraft and Magnificent Masking with CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #181

Happy Tuesday!! As I write this I am listening to my daughter catch a Pokeman and my husband sighing in disappointment that he didn't get one. He is standing outside at the end of the driveway trying to catch one. Charlotte is beating him and he does not like that!! Sigh.


Now on to why I am really posting!!  I created two cards for for My Favorite Things "Camp Create."

My first card is for Camp Create Day 2: Coloring on Kraft. I used my NEW MFT "Adorable Elephants" stamp set. I was so excited that they finally had it in stock. Now I am waiting for the matching dies to be in stock!!

I did a bit of masking with the flowers and used Prismacolor pencils to color the images in.  I did it in layers. After I was done, I used a black gel pen to go over the stamped lines. I created the grass by using several green pencils and making lines in different directions.

I used a die cut the image with a MFT "Stitched Rounded Rectangle Stax." I mounted the elephant onto an A2 blue card base that had a die cut piece of chevron paper from MFT's "Calm and Cozy Chevron" paper pad. My last step was to adhere some Pretty Pink Posh clear sequins in trios on both sides of the kraft panel.

My second card was created by combining CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge #181 and MFT's Camp Create Day 4: Magnificent Masking.

I started off by masking MFT's "Chunky Herringbone" stencil on a piece of white Bristol Board. I used Post It tape to make off a part of the white background that I wanted to be stenciled. I then used MFT's "Purple Rain" dye ink and blended it in. I ADORE this ink!!!

I die cut the panel with one of the dies in "Blueprints 13" and adhered it to a "Wild Cherry" top folding card base. Next I added some "Purple Rain" card stock strips above and below the herringbone pattern.  

I added a Simon Says Stamp! "Hugs" sentiment that I die cut out of "Black Licorice" card stock. I used Clear Wink of Stella over it to give it a bit of shine. I adhered the flowers and leaves from MFT's "Buildable Blooms" stamp and die set in a cluster. My last step was to adhere sequins for the flower centers and dots of Stickles in complementing colors inside the sequins. 

That is all for me today. Thank you for stopping by!!
