Over the Rainbow

Uplifting Words – CASology 158

by // // 3 Comments

Hello and Happy Monday to you!! Here’s to a great week!

I had so much fun creating this weekend! One of the challenges I came across was this one from CASology:

Uplifting Words - CASology 158CAS means Clean and Simple. They want LOTS of white space and I think clean and simple is a fun change of pace! The cue card is precious…hmmm…what’s precious to me?

Uplifting Words - CASology 158Hope. Because without hope for the future, we would never move forward. I think it’s so important, that’s what I feel when I see this sentiment. And though the sentiment is from The Stamps of Life (upliftingwords2hear), the rainbow stamps are from a new set this year from Stampin’ Up! called Over the Rainbow. Aren’t they perfect for each other??

Uplifting Words - CASology 158I used one stamp from the rainbow set and just inked it up in fun colors (Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Cucumber Crush, Pacific Point, and Perfect Plum) and then stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with black embossing powder. That’s it! Easy peasy! You can see the raised finish the sentiment has, it’s so pretty!

And then I found a sentiment for the inside that I think ties in very well:

Uplifting Words - CASology 158Right?? We’ve all been there, and I think this card would be just wonderful to give to someone experiencing a rough patch.

And that’s it for today, thank you so much for stopping by! I’m in a rush to post cards before challenges close so I will be back again tomorrow! Until then…

Wishing you joy and blessings!

You Are My Sunshine – The Card Concept 38

Hello there and welcome to another challenge from The Card Concept!! The inspiration photo is amazing…I can’t wait to see what you do with it!!

You Are My Sunshine - Card Concept 38cI L-O-V-E daisies so this challenge brings a smile to my face! I interpreted the challenge literally and tried to think of ways to use a daisy in a clean and graphic card. When I think of graphic, I think of repeated images, so…

You Are My Sunshine - Card Concept 38bThat’s exactly what I did! I stamped Versamark Ink onto Fog card stock and then heat embossed the daisies with white embossing powder, one at a time. I used a mask to help me stamp without overlapping. I then stamped the flower centers with Versamark Ink as well and then heat embossed them with Crushed Curry embossing powder. A simple sentiment punched out with my new washi tape punch, a coordinating layer of Crushed Curry card stock complete my clean and graphic card!

You Are My Sunshine - Card Concept 38aThis new stamp set called Garden in Bloom by Stampin’ Up! is so much fun, I know I will get a lot of use from it!!

Well, that’s it for me, I can’t wait to see your creations!!
