Shades of Grey at CASual Fridays

It shades of  grey at CASual Fridays. I like grey. 


I die cut the rectangles with Dienamics dies and sponged the inside twice in the center, the larger rectangle only once to create different shades of grey. I went around the borders with a white pen, to give it more definition. The sentiment is by STAMPlorations - the new MOM subway art builders set. I heat embossed it. Right now you can get all MOM sets in the prerelease sale for 30% off!


Well, that is something to consider, with Mothers Day coming up soon!

The flowers are from the Stamplorations set Eclectic Florals. I colored the inside with chalks and markers and then fuzzy cut them and added little pearls in the center

Other challenges:



Simon Says Wednesday Challenge - Anything goes with pearls
CAS on Sunday - Color me pretty
Pan Pastels - Frame it!
Snippets Playground - use a snippet (flowers made from snippets)

I also love grey at the moment! Who would have thought as I am usually a big fan of bright colors... The colorful flowers on the shades of grey look great! I also want to play in this challenge - isn't it great that we have 3 weeks now? It works for me!

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car
