With love ... on your birthday.

Hi there!

When inspiration knocks on the door in so many forms, you simply have to make a card!

A sketch challenge, a color challenge and some keywords made today's card happen :)

I used:

• A free digital stamp, offered by Bev from  Uniko studio which you will find  Here . I have used it before on this and this cards.

• Zig markers for coloring.

• Watercolor paper

• Silhouette cameo for cutting and silhouette studio to design to sentiment.

Challenges:

Freshly made sketches

Color Throwdown

The challenge - using the keywords Flowers, watercolor, birthday & bright.

           


I saved the sentiment I created and you are welcome to use it!

Thanks for looking!

Have a great weekend.

CAS(e) this sketch #227

Hi there!

Ready to take a look at the new inspiration at CAS(e) this sketch ?

N@Ali created this layout with so many possibilities!

I created a watercolor BG panel in 3 colors with my Zig markers using the smooshing technique.

The sentiment was cut with my Silhouette cameo : Design ID #46981, and the little sentiment banner computer generated.

Find joy...

Hi there!

We need to remind ourselves daily to be on the look out for small moments of joy. We are all constantly BUSY. Sometimes too busy to be IN the moment and well... just BE!

So today's card will hopefully remind us all to slow down and find joy in the little things 😊

Stamps from :

 Cas-ual fridays : Breathe.

Inks : 

Hero arts - Soft granite
Altenew - Rouge & Volcano lake.

I started by stamping the sentiment in the 3 colors, using my Misti. I then masked the sentiment and used the brush stroke stamp from the above mentioned set to frame the sentiment and created the background.

The birds were cut with my Silhouette and I adhered it with foam tape for dimension.

Inspiration for my card:

CAS-ualfridays challenge ~ Coral, Aqua, grey.

The paper players ~ CAS, feathered friends.


                                 

Thanks for visiting today!

Wishing you a joyful day.

It's CASology time on the blog today !

                                                              


Because our 2 daughters live on 2 different continents than we do... I always need welcome home cards for when they visit! Of course you can make any house/home related card. Looking forward to see your interpretation!

A closer look:

A very QACAS card using the stripe fill function to create and print the background for my focal point.

I designed the sentiment in the Silhouette Studio, and saved it for your personal use:

CAS(e) this sketch #226

Hi there!

So happy to be here to share my inspiration card for this week's CAS(e) this sketch 😊

My take on Donna's sketch:

A closer look:

 ... and some supplies:

The graphic flowers are a design from Tanya Batrak in the Silhouette store : Design ID #133547

I used the black fill option in order to use the image as a printable. Created an offset and welded the offset to a rectangle.

Sentiment: Design ID #193384

I printed the image on lightweight watercolor paper, and colored it with my Zigs.

Thanks for looking! I hope to see you in the CTS gallery !
