S.I.P. 53 – Case the DT!
Stamp Ink Paper‘s challenge this week is to case the design team! Pretty exciting! Each card was gorgeous and tempting, but I ended up choosing Justin’s: I chose this one because I loved the colour scheme and that the elements worked really well together. Full disclosure though, a part of why I chose this one…
C.Y.C.I. 125 – red, grey, white, black

CASology 202 – masculine
It’s a timely masculine challenge over at CASology this week: Here is my interpretation: I put down a couple of spritzes of spray ink , then stamped, heat embossed and die cut the images and sentiment (Tim Holtz).

I’ve got Heidi Swapp spray ink and a Tim Holtz stamp for the…
CYCI 124 – watercolour!
I was so excited to see this week’s Can You Case It challenge! I have the tools, but just haven’t delved in to watercolour. I need a lot of practice, but I also needed the reminder of how fun it is! I cut some Strathmore mixed media paper for the front panel. The watercolour paint…
CTD 396 – peach, raspberry and plum oh my!
What lovely colours for the challenge this week at The Color Throwdown: Peach, raspberry, plum and white make up this warm and summery bunch of colours, rounding out the summer themed challenges this week.

SIP 51 – sunsets!
The timely and seasonal Stamp Ink Paper challenge this week is SUNSETS! What a great combination of colours!

I got to mash together a bunch…
