CAS Challenge, Featured Stamper Challenge, and Limited Supply Challenge



Good morning everyone!! I have been one busy Grandma the past few days!!! We kept our 21 month old Grandaughter Caitlyn since Friday so her parents and older brother could go to Six Flags in Dallas. It was 102 degrees on Saturday...yikes!!! Sure glad I stayed home!!! We also had a birthday party for our oldest Granddaughter...CJ turned 14!!! Can that really be true???? She is growing up toooo fast!!! Anyway...the kids are home and I am playing catchup with updating my blog!!

The CAS challenge on Splitcoast today is an inspiration challenge...check out this awesome art web site!! After looking at hundreds of pictures, I decided to find inspiration from this beautiful yellow flower.





The Clear Dollar Stamps Summer Blooms Dahlia image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics.
I added some distressing around the edges with the Itty Bitty background stamp and Baja Breeze ink.

Ribbon is the only embellish. Boy was that hard not to add some bling, scallops, and a few more layers!!!

Recipe:
Stamps: Clear Dollar Stamps Summer Blooms Dahlia
Paper: Whisper White, River Rock, Baja Breeze, Laura Ashley dp
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Ribbon, Nestabilities, Dimensionals, Copics




Friday's Limited Supply challenge on Splitcoast was to:
1. Crop an image
2. Repeat the cropped image on your card at least 3 times
3. Embellishments : brads and eyelets only!

Well, I got the first two right but didn't remember to use only brads and eyelets....I waited all evening for the challenge police to come knocking on my door!!!!
The Clear Dollar Stamps Summer Bloom Dahlia image was stamped three times and colored with copics. The 1 1/4 inch punch was used to punch out different angles of each flower and layered them on the black and Lemon tart from Papertrey Ink. The background designer paper is from Sassafras, the crystal flourish is from Prima and I added glitter to the flower centers and leaves to qualify this for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply challenge.


I was sooo excited to see Kelly (schirmcat) chosen as Sunday's Featured Stamper !! She made her claim to fame with the naughty and nice Christmas list of SCS's last Christmas!!! Hummmm...I wonder what kind of trouble she will stir up this year!!!!! I thought I would get on her good side by casing her sweet little Merci card to thank her for all the fun (how did she know about my naughty side, anyway???)!!! I kept the same layout and colors but changed the stamps...I used Rubbernecker's Springtime Inchies and changed the buttons and ribbon to PTI's. I also wrote the sentiment instead of stamping it like Kelly did on her card. The paper was changed to Making Memories dp called Flower Patch and I added an extra layer of green cardstock.







Recipe:

Stamps: Rubbernecker Springtime Inchies
Paper: Whisper White, Lemon Tart by PTI, Prism Classic Yellow Green
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Copics, Buttons, Ribbon, Twine, Corner Punch, Dimensionals

Thanks so much for visiting today.....I hope your Monday is super wonderful!!!

All are great cards Joan. I saw the three panel on scs, great yellow dahlia and the fresh and springy third one is perfect if its that hot there. Although... you didn't get to ride the rides in that heat, so it would of been cooler riding 55 miles an hour down a huge ramp screaming... lol I would of stayed home with the kids too, not much a ride person. lol
