When I saw the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch for this week, I envisioned a layered creation. Somehow I made a one-layer card instead, and managed to stamp the sentiment in the wrong spot, but I like it there, lol!
Thanks for dropping by!

CAS(E) This Sketch 126
Hello!
When I saw the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch for this week, I envisioned a layered creation. Somehow I made a one-layer card instead, and managed to stamp the sentiment in the wrong spot, but I like it there, lol!
I used Altenew Striped Florals stamps with a little masking and coloured with Copics. The sentiment is from SU! Regarding Dahlias. I drew the frame with a Copic Multiliner.
Winter arrived this week. It snowed on Monday night down south (around Canberra and the snowfields) and the cold air made its way up here shortly afterwards. On the week-end we were in t-shirts and feeling hot, this week the mornings have had fresh 1 degree starts some days. It still gets to a very warm 20 degrees during the day, but the starts are slightly chilly (especially with no heating in the home).
Thanks for dropping by!

CAS(E) This Sketch 118
Hello!
I'm here with my card for CAS(E) This Sketch. When I saw the inspiration sketch, I was wishing that I had a stamp of the world. But then I started thinking more laterally. :-) I ended up making a card with a very subtle background and simple sentiment.

I used SU! Regarding Dahlias, which I stamped in PTI Soft Stone. The sentiment is from PTI. What is not visible in the card is the Wink of Stella on the flower.
I'm listening to my budgie speak to me. He only says a few words, but he whistles to me, repeating random tunes that I've whistled to him over time. He's 8 years old. I worry about him living in a smallish cage. But he seems so happy while I talk to him and whistle with him. :-) He sits next to my computer, near the kitchen, in the middle of the action in the house.
Must go and get some sleep. So tired! I hope you are inspired by this week's sketch, and I'll look for you in the gallery!

CAS(E) This Sketch 109
Hello!
How are you? I'm currently thankful that blogland does not require the use of my voice... I'm on my fourth day of laryngitis. I have had four full days at work that have involved numerous telephone calls and teleconferences. The funny part, and really lovely part, is that my colleagues are so willing to listen carefully to my whispers over the telephone when it would be easy enough to say "Oh, we didn't hear you". It makes me feel that they actually want to hear my input. Those of you who don't know me in real life may not know that I can be a little LOUD and VERBOSE and OPINIONATED sometimes (despite being a raging introvert). Being forced to be quiet has been a different experience for me! I am wondering why I was silenced just at this time... some reflection may be required! ;-) It's Friday tomorrow (today in Australia) and I will admit that I am desperate for some extra sleep to try to kick this nasty bug that has a hold of me. Just one more day of work until the week-end! Yay!
I'm here to share my card for CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge. I went very simple with this one.
I used Stampin' Up! Regarding Dahlias stamps. Colour is Blackberry Bliss. The colour in real life is amazing! And this stamp set is just fabulous. I think I'll use it forever and ever.
Okay, I need some sleep! I'd love to see you join in this week with us. I'll keep my eye out for you. ;-)

P.S. If you could buy only one stamp set, which one would you buy?

CASE Study 202 - big, bold flower!
Hello!
It's our last week with Shari Carroll as our muse at CASE Study Challenge. I've really enjoyed this month. Shari has such a fabulous style! This week is no exception with a big bold flower on a kraft background. Irresistible!
I didn't venture far from the inspiration with my CASE of Shari's card. I even tried out a square card, which is highly unusual for me (I have an enduring love for 5.5" x 4.25" cards).
I used SU! Regarding Dahlias and PTI Turning a New Leaf stamps.
You can check out the rest of the team by clicking on the links over on the sidebar. We also have our guest designers, Amy Tsuruta and Tenia Nelson, who are definitely worth a visit! :-)
I cannot wait to see the gallery this week. That big flower just makes me smile, and I look forward to seeing more big flowers on display.
Thanks for visiting!

Fusion #9
Hello!
It's time for a new Fusion Challenge!
When I sat down to make this card, I had something completely different in mind. But while I was pulling out colours and getting myself ready to stamp, this idea jumped into my head and decided to stay. I only used the inspiration, not the sketch this time. I was looking at those zigzags and it brought to mind the edges of the dahlia petals. So I followed the inspiration to create this card. It's so bright and fun!
I used SU! Regarding Dahlias. Colours are Memento Luxe Morocco, Rose Petal, Tuxedo Black, and Dandelion, and Mama Elephant Mojito. The sequins are Avery Elle.
Please take some time to visit the rest of the Design Team, they've done some wonderful work!
Thank-you for coming by to visit!

For my friend
Hello!
I have a friend who helps me out a lot. We help each other. I'm pretty sure I owe her a thousand more than she owes me. I value this friend SO MUCH. I thought I'd give her a card as a memento to how much she is valued. :-) My friend is also my SU! dealer, yes, DEALER. She has a magic way of making me buy things I wasn't going to buy... sigh! I should really stop going to technique class, lol! So this is a SU! card using a set I've loved forever but only recently bought.
Stamps are Regarding Dahlias. Colours are Poppy Parade, Whisper White, and Basic Black.
This week is a short week at work, but it is feeling rather long. I have so much happening, and a short week just means it has to happen in four days instead of five. Add to that a three day week next week (Easter Monday and ANZAC Day on Friday) and work life is hectic! I will admit that I am so looking forward to the Easter week-end. Four days to relax and hopefully recover my health sounds like heaven right now. :-)
Thanks for visiting!
