CTS #170

Good morning!  I'm super excited to share my card with you guys today.  I was a little worried when I started to work with the new sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch.  I wasn't sure at first where I was going to go with it but then I started playing with the Tribal Chic Stamp Set and it came to me!

I started my card with a fun paper from Tribal Chic Paper Pack as my card base and then used a piece of watercolor paper to paint a splash of blue across the middle of my card.  Next, I used the Tribal Chic Stamp Set to create a tribal stripe over my watercoloring.  I used a small post it to mask off this stripe before stamping a vertical stripe with my Tribal Chic Stamp Set.  I stamped my sentiment from Nuts About You Stamps along the bottom of the horizontal stripe.  For a little extra interest, I added coordinating enamel dots to the center of my horizontal tribal design.

I'm super happy with this card and I can't wait to play with this design a little more!  I hope you enjoy our sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch and will play along with us this week!  See you over there.  Here's what I used for my card:

 

 

A Little Nutty!

Hi everyone!  You may have noticed a little card of mine over on the Lil' Inker Designs blog the other day showing of the revamped and re-released Acorn Dies and Nuts About You Stamps.  If you missed it, I'm going to share it with you right here. 

I love the faces in the Nuts About You Stamps and I saw this emoticon paper and knew it would be just right on this card!  So, I took some fun newsprint paper and cut it using the Dual Stitched Rectangles Die and layered it on my background with some hemp twine in yellow wrapped around it.  Now that I had the perfect background ready, I needed to get a little nutty.  I found some wood plank pattern paper and cut my acorn's top using the Acorn Dies and then cut the bottom from some tone on tone chevron paper.  I stamped a cute face on my acorn and colored his tongue in.  He needed some help saying what was on his mind so I found two yellow patterned papers and cut little banners from them and stamped my sentiment on each using the Nuts About You Stamps.  I layered it all on with some enamel dots for a crazy good time!

I hope you liked my card using the new revamped designs.  They are available now and you won't want to miss out!  Here's what I used today:
