Less is More Challenge #231: red white and blue. And Addicted to Cas: Patriotic
I've created and inlaid diecut panel on different levels. I've used red and blue glitter paper and 3 heights in foam adhesive. the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Happy 3x4 stamp set. one gem for interest
The top panel is a little smaller than the card base, but I kept the stars at the edges coming to the edge, likte they were escaping, so fun!

In the photo i see lots of party stuff or bbq/picnic in red white and blue, it made me think of the 4th of July, and that inspired me to make the USA flag. I've used red, white and blue glitter paper to make this flag. I got the 13 stripes in, but all the stars was never going to fit. Weirdly enough all the stripes are the same size, must be the angle I shot the photo... Glued it all on a blue cardbase, no sentiment, seems clear to me, what it stands for ;-) star sequins glued with Aleene's fast grab glue For more information on the Sparkle and Shine Challenge, see this
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: spots and Art Impression. I've used the Art Impression stamp Happy Purr-thday. For my spots I used some polka dot patterned paper as "wallpaper" pretending the kitties are looking out a window. The sentiment from the stampset I found too small, so I used a Simon Says Stamp sentiment from the set Furry kisses 3x4, the little paw also from there. I've colored the beasts with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. I've used some wood patterned paper as the window frame. then I wanted to put some flooring down to anchor the cats and first cut some stone patterned paper, but that wasn't in proportion to the cats, so I grabbed a marker and just colored some shadows in..now that was rather stupid cos it bled right through the front panel....so I cut another panel to cover that.... you can see it in the video, big ooops ;-) that's why I reached for pebbled paper, duh...silly me..

Virginia's view Challenge #16: 100% stamped. I've used the Bold statements from My Favorite things and a selection of pigment inks. Mine are from the craftstore and have no brand, but you can use any colored ink, pigment or dye or even embossing powders in all sorts of colors. I only have Distress dye inks and they're not designed for this ;-) I was inspired by a card I made a while ago, and for that one I stamped red ink of red cardstock, but now I wanted a more festive/summery look.

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Summer. For me Summer is going to the seafront and swimming with the fishes (in a good way ;-) ) this little girl got dressed up as a mermaid and is enjoying the cooling effect of the waves , well maybe that's just me wishing I was her ...lol... The stamp is from Lili of the Valley (little mermaid 1) and I colored it with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. Sequins as bubbles and sentiment is from Joy Craft.

Less is More challenge #230. I've rotated the card and made the two areas (one big and one smaller) on one piece of water colour paper, separate but together ;-) The image is from Lili of the Valley (Christmas angel, round bauble) and the sentiment is from Avery Elle (let it snow set) i've stamped it with pigment ink. The colouring is done with Peerless watercolours, stamped with Stazon. Some mandatory Wink of Stella on the bauble, ofcourse. Mounted the panel with foam tape.

CAS(E) this sketch! challenge #129. I think I've never been so literal with a sketch before, it's certainly CAS but i wonder if it's a bit too empty? might have to have a rethink ;-) I´ve used one of the 11 dies from the Crate paper set called confetti with the special foiling paper I´ve developed and used glittery gold foil from Wow! the sentiment is from Sizzix happy birthday set Fore more information on the CAS(E) this sketch! challenge, see this
