CAS-ual Friday - Pastels and black

Hi and welcome,
 
My card today is for the CAS-ual Friday Challenge CFC45 - The Bold & The Beautiful - Pastels and black. I chose to work with pink as my pastel colour.

I am also entering this in
Simon Says Challenge - Anything Goes 
Lollipop Crafts Challenge #73 - Anything Goes



Yet again I have used two of the flowers from the Hero Arts 4 flower cling stamp set.  I have certainly made great use of this stamp this month, especially with one of the features the Hero Arts monthly challenge being to use flowers.

Supplies
Ink: Embossing ink, Black Versafine
Stamps: HA 4 flowers, HA Happy Birthday
Other: Detailed white embossing powder, Stampin' Up scalloped punch, pink gems
Cardstock: pink, white and black

Thanks for dropping by and for your comments which are always so much appreciate.

Have a great weekend.

Sue's 90 minute scramble

This morning (NZ time) was the Hero Arts Flickr group 90 minute scramble hosted by Sue.  Sue's challenge for us was to create a card using at least 3 inchies. Here is the link to the scramble.

I only had 45 minutes to make my card before I headed to church this morning.  I thought I would go for the brown, gold and neutral colours and make a masculine card.  This is what I managed to make in that time, as well as take a photo and upload it. 




Supplies:
Stamps: All from Hero Arts
Envelope stamp S5507
Zig zag stamp
Pinwheel stamp E4216
Old french writing H2365
Branch background CG122
Happy Birthday (C5594)

Inks: Versamark, Impress chocolate ink,
Other: gold embossing powder, twine, inchies (pre-cut - thankfully)


I am also entering this in the Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes challenge

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments.

Finally time to use my new stamps

Hi,

I haven't had as much time as I would have liked over the past month for making cards and I only just realised yesterday that I never got around to making a card for the Hero Arts February challenge.  I wanted to make sure I entered something in the March challenge, so last night I made this.  I like cards with flowers and I finally got to use one of my new stamps - the zig zag background stamp.  I have also bought the London background stamp so I look forward to using that one sometime soon too.

Here is my creation using the zig zag stamp:



This is for the following challenges:
Hero Arts March Challenge - This card includes the feature of "Fabulous Flowers - Let your creativity bloom and include one or more flowers on your project!"
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes

Supplies:
Ink: Archival Brilliance Aurora (three colours - yellow, orange and pink), Versafine black
Stamps: Hero Arts Zig Zag (CG422), Hero Arts 4 flowers (CQ290), Hero Arts Happy Birthday (C5594)
Other: Stem and leaves made from green textured paper, gems coloured with black copic marker
Cardstock: Baby pink, hot pink and white

Firstly I used a brayer, rolled the three inks onto the zig zag stamp, stamped it onto white card and cut it to size. I mounted this onto hot pink card and then onto the baby pink card.

I sponged pink ink onto some white card and stamped the larger flower. I then sponged the yellow ink and stamped the smaller flower. I cut both of these out. I also sponged some more yellow for the Happy Birthday sentiment. I cut the stem and leaf out of textured green thick paper. I mounted this, the flower and sentiment onto the zig zag background and lastly added the black gems to the middle of the flower.

Here is my second card.

This is for the challenges:

CAS-ual Fridays- CFC42, Hey Baby! Clean and Simple Baby Projects

Card Patterns - Sketch 154
Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Anything Goes

Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Baby and yellow duck patterned paper (Sorry I don't know where it is from)
Stamp: Penny Black - Basket of Joy
Cardstock: White, yellow and baby pink
Other: pink gems, pink ribbon, Faber Castell coloured pencils. Stampin' Up scalloped punch, glossy accents


This uses the sketch from Card Patterns.

Enjoy your weekend.
