Encouragement Challenge Dec

Hello friends, today is time for our Encouragement challenge.
I have decided to step down from the squad after this challenge, a new Sistah is joining in and you all know her  very well :)

Isn't this such a cool inspiration?
I have used only the colors this time, feel free to use either the picture ot the colors.

I have a simple one layer card using the Pretty Posies and Truth is set.
I stamped and colored the flower and leaves using the zigs.
I stamped the sentiment and decided to stamp the pretty border from the Truth is set in black, and added some red to the centers. A few black jewels to finish off this card.

Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate your kind  feedback :) Have a great day!

CAS 07 - Encouragemnet Challenge

Hey all its time for our Encouragement challenge.
We have a beautiful Inspiration, and you can sue either the colors or the picture elements to be inspired.

I chose both the colors and theme. I used the Pretty Posies and stamped the flowers in bright pink and a soft pink shade. I masked and stamped the flowers and decided to leave the flowers in outlines.
The sentiment is stamped in the masked panel from the set Floating.
I also added 2 black strips to create a panel for the sentiment.

We have a wonderful inspiration fr you.
You are welcome to use either the picture or the colors for you projects, just make sure that it is an encouragement project.

As you can see I am inspired by both the colors as well as the pictures.
I used 4 shades of orange  distress ink  and sponged the BG using a cloud stencil from CrafTangles.
I used a cloud die cut for the white panel, and added to the card, the sentiment is stamped on it, and is from Truth is set. A few matching sequins to finish off.

Encouragemnt Challenge #04

Hey all, we are up with out Challenge today, and we have a super relaxing inspiration picture for you.
Make anything inspired by either the theme or the colors, its totally up to you, but it has to be an Encouragement card.

I have made a shaker card inspired by both the theme and the colors. I used a water color paper and sprayed some mist and then added the colors directly on to it, ans spread out using a brush, then used a tissue on the wet paint to lift some paint to give an artsy look.
The sequins are from CrafTangles and the sentiment is from powerful words by Casual Fridays stamps.

Hello peeps, its time a new challenge here.
We have a lovely inspiration picture.

I used the floating set here, and stamped and heat embossed the hot air floral balloon in white EP on  a water color paper, and then used the markers to color the flowers. I used all the colors from the inspiration picture to color my flowers and balloon.
I then used a stencil to add the blue  in the BG.
added the sentiment on a panel and edged it with gold glitter strip.
The front is added to a shimmery yellow base card.

Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate your kind  feedback :) Have a great day!

                                                                    

Calling All Sistahs Reminder

Hey all Its the 17th of the month, and time to check yourself against breast cancer.

For today's card I has used the Hope ribbon stamp and used the reverse side to  stamp it using SU pink pirouette ink. I then used the kissingt echnique with the pretty posies stamps to stamp on the ribbon stamp and then to the card.
I masked the center and used a ripple stencil in in worn lipstick Di to ink up the edges to frame the ribbon.
The sentiment is stamped on the ribbon, and a few sequins along the flowers and card were added, and finished off by adding the front ot a shimmery maroon base.

Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate your kind  feedback :) Have a great day!

                                                                    

Revealing a secret today........

*Top 3 at Souvushka Slavia

Hey all I have been holding in this secret for quite sometime now, and finally I can let it out in the open 😂 .
I am joining the Encouragement Squad at Casual Friday. When Michele extended the invitation a few weeks back, of course I said YES immediately!!! Click HERE to get to the new challenge blog.
As you all know that I had been participating in the Calling all sistah blog hop regularly, I just liked the cause of the hop, and wanted to be part of it, and I was planning not to miss a single month this year, and then thing opportunity came along, so it all had worked well.
  The format has changed a bit, and got more fun. On the 17th we will still have the reminder post to check yourself against breast cancer, and on 18th every month, the new addition is the Encouragement challenge! here you can play with any type of uplifting or encouragement cards.

Today is my introducing post, and I have a card using the CASual Friday stamps.
I have used the flowers from the Pretty Posies and sentiment from Floating set here.

I used all white front and base. I stamped the flowers on a regular white card, and used zig clean color brush to add color, and blended using a water brush. Then I used the scaNcut to fussy cut the flowers and leaves.
I used Hero Arts Neon sunshine ink to stencil the bubbles in the BG on the front, followed by the sentiment. Then I arranged the flowers using foam adhesive, the leaves are added using tape, no dimension. To finish off, I added a chipboard strip at the base, and added a flower as well, and as usual a few Rhine stones.
