So clearly I am a little behind schedule today!! I have been busy with work...had to stay late last night, then return first thing this morning. Which means that my blog post for today is just now getting posted!
I wanted to share with you the CAS DT card that I made for this week's challenge!! Miss Boo hails from Michigan (as do I many years ago,) and she has inspired us with some gorgeous postcards from photos taken at Mackinac Island (pronounced Mackinaw.)
To see all the details of the challenge, and the rest of the DT members submissions, visit the SCS CAS ForumHERE!
The DP panel is from K & Co. The tulips were colored with Copics!
The sentiment is from the Unity Store Kit called Sweet Affectionsfrom Dec 09.
I also masked off the oval that I diecut using a Nestie and sprayed a light blue background using the Copics Air cans. The red ribbon gingham is from Michael's. I just love these tulips... and you guys who know me might remember that seeing the tulips in bloom in the Netherlands is on my Bucket List!! I really pray to go there someday!
I hope you will visit theCAS Forum and play along with us this week!! I really love the refreshing break I get when I create a Clean and Simple card!! :-)
Have a wonderful day and may your bucket overflow with the happiness that comes when you know someone thinks of you and smiles!! When I think of all my blog followers, I smile!! You guys are what keeps me going and gives me so much motivation! I really appreciate your comments and thank you so much for caring to stop by my blog!! :-)
I am so honored to have been chosen to participate in this blog hop and I can't thank JustRite Stamps enough for inviting the Dirty Dozen to participate and for letting us use their fabulous stamps! I made two projects to share with you today and just loved working with their stamps sets.
For my first project I created a 5.5 x 5.5 inch card with DP from MME as my background. I stamped the Daffodils in the pitcher from the JustRite StampsBreath of Spring Set. I cut the image panel with a Nestabilityoval and then also placed behind it a scalloped oval. Underneath that is also the Fair Isle Pendant die that I popped up on top of a free hand cut base for it out of a contrasting gray color.
I colored the image in with Copic Markers and also added airbrushing to the image panel. To make the borders I airbrushed, I simply cut out a smaller oval to place in the center and then sprayed only the outer edge of the oval without spraying over the image.
For dimension I added pop dots to the image panel and to the Pendant layer as well. I added a large cream satin ribbon that I scored at the dollar store in my area and added Studio 18 rhinestones and some machine stitching to add the finishing touches.
The last project I have to share with you today is a quick little gift idea for a loved one. I couldn't pass up using this sentiment from the JustRiteLoving Thoughts stamp set. (Did you notice that the name of my blog is My Bucket Overfloweth?) It was super quick and easy to add some lace and ribbon to a small bucket filled with Hershey kisses and pair it with a card decorated in coordinating Pink Paislee DP and matching ribbon. I stamped the sentiment and the scalloped border from the Merry Little Christmas setin Real Red ink from SU. I added a Nestability scalloped circle to fit behind the image panel. I think it is a really cute way to send some love to others!!
