You're a Star ...

I'm on a roll ... another card to post.  I went to Freshly Made Sketches to see what they were offering up this week.  After seeing the sketch, I decided I was going to keep it as simple as possible.  So, here it is ...

Stamps:  Quite a Catch (GKD)

Paper:  White, Black

DP:  chevron patterns (Recollections)

Ink:  Memento Black

Accessories:  Copics; glitter pen (Sakura); pop dots (SU)

I have a stamping friend, Benzi, who makes the best CAS (clean and simple) cards.  She was my inspiration for this card.  The most time consuming part of this card...cutting out that cute starfish.  Have to admit that I wanted to add more paper, embellishments, etc. to cover some of that white space.  In the end, I'm happy with it and hope to whip out more CAS cards.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!

So special ...

Played around with the new MOJO Monday sketch and ended up with this ...

DP:  Bold Basics (Recollections)

Ink:  Memento Black; Bordering Blue (SU)

Accessories:  Copics; glitter pen (Sakura); pop dots, pearls (SU); circle dies (Spellbinders); corner rounder (WRMK)

Another Valentine ...

One more Valentine to show and then I'm done.  This one will be going to my hubby.  My starting point was heading over to the Mod Squad Challenge Blog to see what they had up this week.  It's a Valentine challenge with some glitter.  This is the front of the card ...

Now for the inside ...

Stamps:  Monica Romances (House Mouse)

Paper:  Red (Bazzil); White, Black (SU)

DP:  Christmas Noel (Recollections)

Ink:  Memento Black

Accessories:  Copics; Printing 101 cartridge (Cricut); flourish die, dazzling diamonds, stickles (SU); circle dies (Spellbinders); glitter pen (Sakura)

Unfortunately, you cannot see the glitter on this card at all.  On the front I used cherry cobbler stickles on the little heart.  Each letter on the inside is colored with a glitter pen as are the little white hearts.  The bigger heart has dazzling diamonds on it.  This is one of those cards that looks completely different in real life.  This card measures 3.5" x 5.5".

The card design came from Splitcoast Stampers ... a Building Block card.  Click here for directions.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day!
