Yikes! - CAS on Friday Challenge #184

Here I am again with another CAS on Friday challenge for you!

This is challenge #184 and the theme is ANYTHING BUT WHITE. In other words, white (or cream/ivory etc) should not be the predominant colour on your card, though it can be present in small amounts.

I've gone with a very simple card. After pencilling some guidelines, I punched my windows with a square punch, stamped and coloured two of each dog, then fussy cut around one for a second layer. The whole thing is mounted up and I used my punch again to cut the sentiment just the right size.

Materials used:

• stamps - Crazy Dogs (Tim Holtz)
• card - tempting turquoise, whisper white
• other - 1 1/4" square punch, mounting strips, mini Dimensionals, Copic markers, scissors, computer and printer, pencil and ruler

I just love the crazy eyes all of Tim's 'Crazy' range have - they look so adorably comical. I'd love to have a dog with this character, wouldn't you? Or maybe you do already!

Thanks for dropping in. Do be sure to pop over to the CASOF blog to see what the rest of the team have for you, leave some comment love along the way, and hopefully think about joining in our challenge.

Cheers

Crazy Plaids

Today's cards are a plethora of plaid combined with a candela of crazy! I've been playing with some Tim Holtz stamps and here's how that turned out:

Materials used:

• stamps - Perfect Plaids, Crazy Dogs (both Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz collection), Itty Bitty Birthdays
• card - delightful dijon, basic black, very vanilla
• other - Stamparatus, real red marker, Copics, Dimensionals, stitched rectangle dies, Big Shot, ruler

As soon as I saw this particular stamp it made me think of the classic Burberry plaid, so that's why I picked these colours. The fine red lines were added with a marker.

Here's a cat version:

Materials used:

• stamps - Perfect Plaids, Crazy Cats (both Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz collection), Itty Bitty Birthdays
• card - highland heather, purple posy, gorgeous grape, whisper white
• other - Stamparatus, Copics, Dimensionals, frosted frames dies, Big Shot

And I really couldn't resist a Christmas bird version too:

Materials used:

• stamps - Perfect Plaids, Crazy Birds (both Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz collection), Santa's Suit
• card - real red, whisper white, vellum
• other - Stamparatus, Stampin' Blends, stitched rectangle dies, Big Shot, rhinestones, glue, real red marker, ruler

I think the bird is my favourite but the dog is a close second - which is your fav?

(Btw, a candela is a measurement of luminosity - I thought this fitted nicely with those luminous crazy eyes! Lol.)

Thanks for dropping by.
