Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: anything goes

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: anything goes.

I've used Ranger Distress re-inkers to do some watercoloring on 300grams smooth  hot pressed watercolor paper from Schut (but any will do) then diecut the butterflies from Joy crafts! from the watercolor paper. the Simon Says Stamp die (small hello) was used on some glitter paper  I made into a sticker. Panel mounted with foam tape. the rhinestones are from a generic shop and the small ones are from my manicure basket...don't tell anyone ;-) I've used Aleene's fast grab tacky glue to stick it all on the front panel.

Less is More challenge #232: one layer masculine

Less is More challenge #232: one layer masculine.

I went  to the craft store to get this ship stamp because today they had 20% off all stamps...I also got one with a lot, and i mean a lot of Christmas sentiments, then I restrained myself from getting another 20 sets or so...lol...there's one Penny Black set I wish I could have gotten but even with the  discount I felt I should wait...I was good :-)

The ship image is from Studio Light (summer at the beach) and the sentiment is from Joy Crafts! (seashore) Stamped them with Stazon. and I've sponged some mermaid lagoon around the ship and splattered  mermaid lagoon spray (both from Distress ink line).
I feel, the sentiment lacks a : ...correct me if I'm wrong, i'm not an English master, but I feel it needs it..so I'm now going to add it in ;-)

CAS(E) this Sketch! Challenge #131

I've used Neenah classic crest ultra smooth cardstock and die cut a bunch of butterflies with  a Joy Crafts! vintage flourishes die and then colored them with Spectrum Noir and Copic alcohol markers.
I've punched the little butterflies out of glitter paper.
the sentiment is from Kaisercraft (blue bay), stamped with Memento.
Stuck them all down with Aleené fast grab tacky glue, which works perfectly.

Furry kisses

 I've made this card for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: furry friends with Newton Nook's stamps,
and the Freshly made Sketches challenge #194

I don;t have any Newton Nook's products, sadly but lots of Furry friends items.
I got this die today without knowing and I had to  put it straight to "work".

Made a top panel slightly smaller than the cardbase and  diecut a square window.
Die cut the little doggy from Marianne design as well as the bones and shawl.
the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamps set Furry kisses 3x4
 I've sponged some Cracked Pistachio Distress inks onto the cardbase where the window will be and  glues the bones for fun all over.
I've colored the bones and doggy and shawl thingy, collar I don't know ( cat person here lol) with Copic and Spectrum Noir markers.
I raised the top panel with foam. Also got a non stick scissors from Scotch today and I love that, no more sticking ot the blades! Titanium anti  adherent it's called.

AAA Cards Challenge #43: starry night

AAA Cards Challenge #43: starry night.

I´ve made an Aurora Borealis or Northern lights water color card.

I´ve used liqud water colors from Talens ecoline for that.
I handdrew the twiggy trees, there´s a stamp that  looks kind of like these trees but I don´t have it.
I used a black Sharpie for the trees and the faux stitching
A white Sharpie to dot in the stars.
Black frame to accentuate the colors and no sentiment to detract from the water coloring ;-) I mean it could be a "thinking of you" or any other card now....

Then I wondered if it was CAS enough, so made another with a  smaller panel, so there's more empty space. I used Distress inks and mini blending sponges for this one. Memory box cityscape die and  also white Sharpie.

But I really like my Aurora one, so will enter that one ;-)
