When This Is All Over - CAS-ual Fridays

Welcome back!  Sharing this one today using some of the great new stamps from the latest CAS-ual Fridays release.

I started with the background that I made by sprinkling some Color Burst onto some watercolor paper and sprayed it with water infused with Liquid Pixie Dust and let it do it's thing.

While the base was drying, I stamped the flowers from Terrific Flowers onto watercolor paper in Versamark and heat embossed them with Wow embossing powder.  I used Zig Clean Color Markers to color them in and then fussy cut them out so I could pop them up over my watercolored background.  I stamped the Hope word from the Heart Ribbon set in purple and fussy cut that out and popped it up in the corner.

Finally, I stamped another one of the sentiments from the Heart Ribbon set and popped it up on the top.  I love the encouraging sentiments on that set that are great with or without those beautiful ribbons!  I just added some purple gems and clear sequins and I was done.

I find myself creating a lot of these kinds of cards lately because there are a lot of us who need a little encouragement and a reminder that things WILL get better.  

And if you're up for a little bit of happy (or a lot of happy), come back tomorrow because tomorrow I'm involved in something pretty special that's going on!  If you like smiling and free stuff... you won't want to miss it!

Thanks so much for stopping!  Hope you enjoyed it!

Terrific Flowers - CAS-ual Fridays Release!

It's Day 2 of the CAS-ual Fridays Release!  Today we're sharing projects using the Terrific Flowers stamp set!

I've been playing a lot with my Color Bursts lately and I used them here.  I cut my background layer from Watercolor Paper and stamped and embossed the flowers from the set onto the Watercolor paper.  Then I used Ken Oliver Color Bursts to watercolor in the flowers.  I added a little extra color using my watercolor pencils.  Finally I colored the background with more Color Bursts.

After the panel was dry, I added a subtle pattern using the Tin Roof Stencil and some Distress Oxide Inks.  And for my sentiment I cut the Sweet and Friend words out of white glitter paper and twice more from white cardstock and stacked and glued them together before popping them up onto my base.

I stamped and cut out one of the sentiments from Terrific Flowers and added it to the bottom of the card.

And that's me for today!  Be sure to head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays stamps blog and see what everyone has created for you today!  And the entire New Release is available now in the shop here!
