CAS Mix Up - Marbling; Muse Challenge #183; Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop

Hi there,
A quick post for me to share 2 cards I created for several challenges ~
First up, is my entry for the CAS Mix Up Challenge. I usually have my card posted earlier than this, but the challenge is to use the 'Marbling' technique, and I needed white (old fashioned) shaving cream :)

  

I swirled some color with Brushos into the shaving cream to create the pattern behind the vellum butterfly and sentiment...it was fun! Bonnie gives a great step-by-step tutorial in This Post, if you're interested in trying it out :) I added a few gems, PTI clear Rainstones and a stamped sentiment, and that was it!

***************

My 2nd card is for three challenges: Muse Card Club #183, Virginia's View Challenge, and since I used Altenew flowers for this card, I am also adding it to the Altenew Ultimate Challenge Blog Hop.

Tracey McNeely created a gorgeous card this week for the Muse Challenge (see below), and I couldn't wait to play along! Of course, now I'm sliding in at the last minute :) I chickened out with the watercolor wash after ruining 2 other cards...but, I did add some fun pink and white splatters, which was perfect for Virginia's challenge...too bad I missed the deadline!

As always, thank you so much for stopping by, and for leaving sweet comments...I read and appreciate every one ~ Have a great week ahead,

Addicted to CAS Challenge #97 - Stitched

Hi there blog friends ~

It's time for another challenge at Addicted to CAS. Our hostess is Ceal, and we have a new super talented Guest Designer ~ Maria Tchotcheva 

Here is my card: 

I used all stitched elements on this card, and watercolored the trees and pumpkin. I wanted to keep the design CAS, so I refrained from adding stitched clouds :) And, that was it!

The winner of this challenge will receive a gift card for 5 Euro at Create a Smile Stamps, so we hope you'll stop by the challenge blog and play along with us...

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a fun and crafty weekend ~

Guest Designer - Tag You're It Challenge #56

Hi there ~

As the winner of Challenge #54, I have the honor of being Guest Designer for the current challenge at Tag You're It! Our inspiration tag was created by Taheerah Atchia, and I am loving how she used the dip dyed technique, and how she played with the over-sized sentiment and splatters! Here is Taheerah's tag:

And, my take ~

If you know me at all, then you know how much I love ombre, especially on an over-sized sentiment. I sponged PTI's Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores and Tropical Teal for the sentiment. Laurie Willison has a great video on this technique using her MISTI.

The sweet little blooms are from SSS, and the gold splatters are Hero Arts. A little twine to top it off, and this tag was completed :)

Please be sure to stop over at the Tag You're It Challenge...the team has created some really beautiful tags! Have a great weekend, and thanks so much for stopping by,
