CASology Cue Card Week 80 - Purple

2 posts in one day? I'm on fire ;)

Today I am following along with the cue card over at CASology which is purple. Here is my interpretation.

Stamps: Waltzingmouse Stamps. Embossing Powder - WOW!

Perfect Pearls - Ranger. Gems - Doodlebug. Cardstock - Bazzill.

I love the Waltzingmouse Funky Feathers stamp set, so many different combinations and possibilities. I decided to use the peacock feather today as my main image. I stamped and embossed them in gold, stamped the hearts and dusted with perfect pearls then added the gems and just to break it up a little I raised the panel on foam pads.

I also went on to make this 'cleaner' version. Simple stamping with memento ink, I coloured the centres with turquoise promarker and embossed the hearts in gold. I think I can see me replicating this card in lots of different colours.

Thanks for looking,

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge CFC124: Happy New Year!

Here are the details for the last CAS-ual Fridays challenge for 2013! 

CFC124: Let's see your Clean And Simple New Years projects!

Since the New Year starts with a countdown, lets count the minutes it takes to complete your project.

OPTIONAL: If you can do it in 10 minutes or less, you can play at 10 Minute Craft Dash too!

This is the card that I had in mind when I originally read the challenge, especially the ten minute part. I am a notoriously slow crafter sometimes, so the challenge of making a card in 10 minutes can seem daunting, but this came together so quickly. I die cut my cardstock using my silhouette as I knew I wanted the gold glitter to show through, but I also wanted to keep in clean and simple. I mounted the die cut panel with foam tape, along with the small middles to the letters and it was done. My time came out at 8.49!

I was then left with all the die cut letters and another piece of gold glitter card, so this is what I did and it took a lot more than 10 minutes!

 I individually pierced the tops of most of the letters, stuck on small foam pads and strung them with gold thread, finishing it off with a sequin at each end. I then took the pad off each letter and individually placed them one by one to get the right banner shape. I glued the threads to the inside of the card and it was finished!

Edited 01/01/14 - At the suggestion of Kimberly Wiener I am going to be bold and also enter these 2 cards into the CASology Cue Card - Party challenge, get me, 2 challenges at once ;)

Happy New Year and thanks for stopping by :)
