Summer Lovin'

Good morning peeps.

What a difference a day makes. This morning we woke up to blue skies, no rain in sight for the moment at least.

Today I would like to share a card I made for the CAS-ual Friday Challenge.

I was going to post last night but we had visitors so didn't get the chance. I was inspired by a card I saw a while ago but don't know whose it was, so apologies for the lack of acknowledgement. When I saw the challenge title was Summer Lovin I thought of this Kaisercraft stamp which I only used a while ago. I had so much fun playing with the DIs and water technique last week I used it again for this card. 

The sentiment is heat embossed in detail white, then the panel was inked with Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade, such well named summery colours and splat and spritzed with 'Eau de Corporation' - water to you ( my Mum used that term when we were kids n were asking what there was to drink!). The hearts were punched from the waste. and scattered about. All on a A6 white base card.

OK, that's about it. I may be back later as Nich wants some thank you cards for work but it depends on Al who is off ragwort pulling in the far field later and he may require assistance! 

I shall enter the following challenges:-

Nightshift Stamping - CAS

Muse #70

Evening all.

Sorry I haven't been around much but I have been away with my grandson and his Mum and Dad. We had a good week really over in North Norfolk, just a couple of very wet mornings. May need a week to recover though!

While I was away I noticed the card that Vicki Dutcher has made for the latest challenge over at Muse. She used washi tape to blank off the card to make striped background then inked over.

I thought about it on the long journey home and came up with this. My washi tape must have been a bit stickier than hers because it tore my first two attempts when I took the tape off!

Here is my take on the Muse -

I used Peacock Feathers DI but the picture has come out bluer than the original. I bought the sentiment from Kaisercraft a while ago and this is it's first outing. Stamped in blue and clear embossed, the third line was masked off and stamped again in black on plain white card.  I cut it down and then mounted it on pads over the original.

OK, just  quick post after a very busy day!
