CASology #253 CLOTHES

Happy Tuesday! This week's new CASology challenge is CLOTHES. My daughter Sabrina recently had to dress up as an inspirational figure for the 5th Grade Living Museum project. She chose Coco Chanel for her impact on women.

My card is inspired by Sabrina and Coco. I used PTI Fashion Sense set to create this simple one layer notecard. I stamped the beautiful female figure and wonderful quote in black and stamped the flowy dress in a pretty green ink. But what makes her dress special is that I used the new WOW Wanderlust embossing powder from my new Catherine Pooler SOA kit.

The shimmer looks amazing in real life and transformed this one-layer card into something really special. This amazing jar of embossing powder will have a permanent spot on my craft table!

So be sure to check out how the rest of the DT was inspired by CLOTHES this week. I bet they'll knock your socks off!

CASology Pretty

While I love this week's CASology cue card PRETTY, I think it was a big challenge to create something that actually was the cue word itself. I used the PTI Fashion Sense set because what can make me feel pretty is a fabulous dress. And this dress stamp is completely gorgeous!

Colors were inspired by an article I saw in the latest HGTV Magazine which featured 5 new Holiday Color Combos. I plan on making a card for each combo at some point. This card uses the hot pink, gold, and black combo. I stamped the dress form around the white card panel but only colored in the middle one in Raspberry Fizz. Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Absolutely die that I die cut out of gold adhesive paper. 

I scatted a few of the star clusters in gold around the panel to compliment the main sentiment. 

That's it for me now. Thanks for stopping in! Have a good weekend.

Three for Thursday

Hi my friends...long time no post. Things have been crazy with my various volunteer roles I have this year so little time for crafting. Next year, I will adopt a "just say no" attitude in order to get some ME time back into my life!

DH was away last two days so had a chance to escape in my craft room for a few hours.

First card is for the One Layer Simplicity Challenge this month which features "Whatever The Weather". I used a Memory Box cloud stencil and white embossing paste to create the textured clouds on the light blue card panel. Sentiment is from the PTI Up, Up, and Away set.

Second card uses the largest Simon Says Stamp die. I created a folded die cut balloon, heat embossed stars on the balloon, added a simple sentiment banner and a touch of twine around the balloon end.
Colors inspired by the Colour Me....Subtle! challenge this week.

Last card uses a PTI set I've been dying to use since the summer. I created a focal cluster (PTI Make It Monday challenge this week) by stamping a swoosh from PTI Brushed off along the bottom white panel to ground the sentiment and image from PTI Fashion Sense. Love this model and the way the dress stamp isn't quite perfectly lined up. Colors inspired by ColourQ challenge.

That's it for me! Thanks for stopping by! Have a good weekend!
