    Super Ways to Use It Challenge (WT359) on Splitcoast! I love to pick my own challenges! This one is really CAS which is odd for me, but I had help because of the 4 WT challenges I chose for this has us case a card in our faves. WT353 Use it or lose it and the one I used was THIS fab card. I’m also using 3 other WT’s from this past year: Oval-icious – WT319 , I Heart You – WT308 and Pink, Pink, Pink! – WT344. Whew! If all those links come out right, I’ll be surprised!

    The image is a new one from DRS Designs and it’s all one image but I stamped it twice and die cut it w/ 2 sizes of classic ovals. I was so happy to see how perfect it fit! I added a little color w/ some markers and attached it to kelly green fancy label.

    The backgrounds were all embossed w/ the same ef and quickly attached to kelly green layers. The middle one is slightly larger than the others just to make it look right. I added some scored lines and my 5.50 x 4.25 card was finished.

    This is also for the DRS Thursday Challenge. It’s easy and you don’t have to use DRS images to enter for a chance to win some fabulous images. Come check it out!

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Since we’re doing (mostly) blue cards today, mine showcases this wonderful Sunflower image done in blues w/ a little coral for an accent color. I think I’ve said this before but I try not to let reality get in the way of how I color things. You’ll probably never see a sunflower this color in real life, but I like it! And because I love a good contrast, I paired the shades of blue w/ a nice corally-orange dot paper. A big scallop die was used on the bottom strips and the 2 shades of blue paper are actually the flip sides of one sheet of textured c/s. I used a pennant die for the sentiment, added a little twine bow and some beautiful little Swarovski crystals. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Here are the Tombow markers I used to color my sunflower and the ink I used to stamp the images. Julie Warner - justwritedesigns https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com/

    And last but not least, is my notebook page along with supplies I used. If you haven’t tried the Picksey Pick Ups, they are fabulous! Makes working w/ those little crystals an absolute breeze!

    Happy Monday!
    This is pretty exciting news for me…I’m now on the DT for Outlines Rubber Stamps! And for my first post, it’s a sketch for the Outlines Monday Challenge #33! Check out all the details on playing along with us for a chance to win on the Outlines Blog.

    I’m using some pretty spring images and colors for my card today. The colors in this dp are my favorite colors so I matched the colors in my images to them. The vase and flowers were cut out and added on top of some white c/s that I stamped the dots in two different colors. First I inked and stamped w/ the lime ink, then inked w/ the neptune and used a SAMJ to align the second stamping in an alternate row. A lg corner rounder was used on the two right corners. The scallop scissors didn’t match up exactly w/ the scallop border, but I think it looks fine as is. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
    Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you’ll join us in our Monday Challenge and please visit all the Outlines Design Team for details on their creations.
