It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  A sketch that had endless possibilities!

I die cut a piece of ombre patterned paper and adhered to the card base.

I stamped and die cut the lighthouse and then did the sentiment.  I like the pairing of colors between the ombre and the green stripes.  I added a few birds and was done.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use foliage.

I went clean and simple here and hoped for the best time wise.  I was blown away when I discovered I had 2 minutes left.  What?  I am always down to the wire!

I stamped the frond in two greens and then die cut.  I die cut a stitched scallop squared and added the sentiment.  I popped up the square, adhered the frond and then a little bling.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  This is a fill in the blank challenge.  My favorite first flower of spring is daffodils.  I know it’s finally spring when I see them!

I started by stamping the daffodils, leaves and fillers and then colored them with my alcohol inks.  I die cut and then adhered to the card base.

A soothing sentiment and I was done.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s anything goes!

I started by using the blooming branch stamp set from The Greetery (April 2019).  I stamped the layers and then die cut.

I popped up the die cut and added this beautiful sentiment (from Papertrey Ink walk by faith - 2016) and was done!  Clean and simple.

I started with cutting some pattern papers and backing them with island indigo cardstock.  I placed the papers according to the sketch.

Then I stamped my sentiment and backed it with a bit of pattern paper.  I adhered it to the paper and added a bit of silver ribbon and a button.

Finally a bit of bling and island indigo dots.

Happy Wednesday! I have a trio of CAS cards for the rest of the week.

This card started with the sentiment. I think it is absolutely beautiful so I wanted to keep the other images simple.

I used my Clearly Besotted With Love stamp set for the tulip and vase. Then I ran the card thru the linen impression plate.

So I actually had time to play along with the Paper Players again this week! Yay! It was a fun sketch challenge and when I saw it, I thought stencil!

I dug thru my stencils for a poinsettia stencil and using my embossing paste, created a panel on a piece of cherry cobbler.

Then I die cut a stitched circle, added a sentiment and a button and some twine. I love the contrast of the paste on the red!

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to pop in tomorrow!
