Joy Clair - Hugs and Smiles

Hi Everyone,

I am on the Joy Clair blog today with a card I made with one of the older Joy Clair sets called Hugs and Smiles:


 I got inspired by Jonsoon Hur from Rejoicing Crafts, who made THIS wonderful card, so I blatantly CASEd it.....This stamp set really lend itself to this technique. I smooshed some distress inks and then stamped with the same colors at the bottom and at the top. I spritzed the stamp with water before I stamped, to give it some softer appearance.

This is that fabulous set:

I added that cute little vase and the heat embossed sentiment  and Bakers twine.



Hope you liked this!

Go and visit the Joy Clair blog to see the inspiration cards from our talented DT! And don't forget to play with us in the Joy Clair September challenge

You're right, the stamp set does lend itself to this artsy type of card. Once more, you could do worse than CASEing Yoosun...she's remarkable. But then, so is your card...of course, the color is fabulous but I so love the design elements, too.

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.

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
