From Me to You

Hello and welcome!  I'm back, at long last...

Today I'll be joining JUGS #799 CASE a DT member, but I chose to CASE two DT members, in various ways.  You see, I love Bobby's daisies on the colored die frame with the white edge blacked out.  However, I didn't have the dies for my stamps (and I definitely wasn't feeling the fussy cutting), so I had to go with it stamped directly on the die frame.  As much as I love the frame she used, it was just too big and covered up too much of the background panel for me.  So, then I looked to Carol's card and loved the off-set focal point.  I found an unused, already embossed panel just waiting to be used, so that worked out!  After mounting everything on the card base, I used my blending brush to add just a tad leftover green ink to the far-right corners and side.  Yep, I'm happy with it!  Oh, yes, the stamp was stenciled with one coral ink and two green inks.  While the layering is faint, I do like it as it doesn't make the inking lines look harsh.  Here's my inspiration ~

 Does it work?

 

Since this stamp/stencil set, the sentiment/dies, and the embossing folder are making their first appearance, I'll be sending this to NBUS #80 also.

 

Secondly, I used the same set but additional image for one more card while it was out.  This time, I stamped the image, blended through stencils with slightly different colors.  I then cut the panel with a die and removed the outer edges to run through an embossing folder, used in the debossed orientation.  A second frame cut of glitter cs to match the champagne NBUS foiled sentiment.


I really like this Fall color combo on this image, so it will go to Color Hues #121 - orange and brown.  It also showcases a new set of press plate sentiments, so if I could send a second card from the same post...NBUS Challenge #80 would be the other challenge.  Wish me luck!

 


Supplies:
   Card #1 = Alt - Sisters of the Heart stamp/stencils; Splb - Leafy 3D embossing folder, Curved Everyday Sentiment gp/dies
   Cars #2 = Alt - Sisters of the Heart stamp/stencils; PFS - Ornate Rectangle Frame; PB - Texture e/f; Splb - Sentiments of Wonder bpp

That's it for me today, I'm so glad you stopped by and shared your day with me!  Have a great week and I hope to see you soon.

Hugs,
TK
