Muse #206 + CAS(E) The Sketch #212 + SSS For a Special Lady + Seize the Birthday

I combined a few challenges to create this card. I've been thinking about Anita's black embossed & brightly colored panel on her card for Muse #206 all week and, as I started to play with a few flower stamps, found myself subconsciously working with the design from CAS(E) This sketch #212.

The PTI Bold Blossoms were stamped, masked and heat embossed in black and then colored withZig Real Brush markers. A Simon Says Stamp Handwritten Border stamp provides the sentiment and is also heat embossed.

 

I am also linking this card to Seize the Birthday, where Anything Goes, and Simon Says Stamp's Wednesday Challenge Blog, where the current challenge is to make something For a Special Lady.

CASology Week 239: LANDMARK

Welcome to Week 239 at CASology!

Landmark can be a specific thing (Eiffel Tower, Space Needle, etc.) or a general thing (lighthouse, inukshuk, etc.) or an event or milestone, leaving you so many different ways to interpret this cue word.

I was inspired to make this card after spotting the collection of souvenir snowglobes in my daughter's room the other day.

This card took a little planning, as I wanted the glass beads and stars to fall on both sides of the Seattle skyline, highlighting the landmark Space Needle. Two cuts of the skyline die are made and adhered together for a little more stability and then two foam panels cut with a slightly larger circle to go on either side of the skyline.

You can see how the filling moves freely on both sides of the skyline.

The sentiment is pieced together from Avery Elle's Simply Tags stamp set and heat embossed on a Memory Box snow globe base.

MUSE #205

I have time for a quick post to share the card I was inspired to make by Michelle Lupton as the Muse this week.

Michelle Lupton Muse #205

I love this technique, pairing an embossing pen and stencil, and played around with it for a while over the week. This is my favorite panel made with a Tim Holtz stencil. The randomly embossed and colored sections reminded my of falling tears so I added an Altenew sentiment to make a sympathy card.

I know I will continue to play with a few more stencils and this technique!

We are heading out the door, and driving up to Anaheim, to watch the Canucks beat the Ducks.
