You Blow My Mind - CAS on Friday Challenge #187

Welcome to another CAS on Friday challenge!

This is Challenge #187 and the theme is UNDER THE SEA.

Here's my card:


Materials used:
  • stamps - Big Bite (Gerda Steiner Designs)
  • card - whisper white (SU)
  • distress oxide inks - cracked pistachio, mermaid lagoon
  • other - waves stencil, craft foam, Copic markers, Stamparatus, blending brushes, sequins, enamel dots

How adorable is that little blowfish? Such a cute face! 

I stencilled with some distress oxide inks (cos you know how much I love those!) to get the wave effect for my background. 

Do follow the link to the CASOF blog to see what other Under the Sea creations my fellow DT members have come up with, and as always, we'd love you to join in the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Spring Flowers

'Spring flowers' is the theme I gave my ladies this week and after browsing Pinterest I was inspired to visit my craft room for a play...

I'm still loving my Wildflower Stems dies and couldn't resist using the sweet daisies for my card, along with the newest (but not for much longer) distress colour, Speckled Egg. Here's how my card ended up:


Materials used:
  • stamps - Damask, Attic Treasures, Entomology (all Tim Holtz)
  • card - whisper white, Sahara sand, early espresso, mixed media card
  • distress oxide inks - antique linen, speckled egg, fossilised amber, twisted citron, mowed lawn
  • distress oxide spray - antique linen
  • distress embossing glazes - speckled egg, vintage photo
  • dies - Wildflower Stems (TH), stitched rectangle, stitched frame
  • other - Big Shot, Dimensionals, water spritzer, aqua painter, white baker's twine, white gel pen, heat tool, Transparent Wings butterfly (TH)

There's a new distress colour coming out in a couple of weeks, so as you can imagine I'm getting rather excited about its release - not to mention constantly changing my mind about what shade I'd like it to be, lol. 

I hope you're finding some crafty goodness in your day. Thanks for popping in.

Cheers
