A CAS(E) of WPlus9 and Stencils...

If you have been lucky enough to be playing along with On-Line Classes Stenciled, you too will have been inspired! I was particularly taken with Debby's fabulous inking, in combination with heat embossed vellum. Taking inspiration from the chevrons, colours, washi and dots from this gorgeous WPlus9 Monday Moodboard, combined with this super versatile CAS(E) this Sketch, and the fabulous FUSION colours and flowers too.

Created my own stencil by die-cutting chevrons from a sheet of paper, then inked the background in Squeezed Lemon Distressed Ink. Stamped this gorgeous WPlus9 bird and sentiment and embossed in mirror silver on the WPlus9 pinked square die-cut vellum, added washi tape and enamel dots to secure the vellum panel.

 

In the Mood for Joy...

The first thing I noticed when I saw the current WPlus9 Monday Mood Board, was the wide red and white ribbon. When I saw this weeks CASology Ribbon Cue Card and this versatile Freshly Made Sketch, this is the card that had to be made LOL! Featuring some gorgeous red, silver and white wired ribbon from Spotlight, and this much loved WPlus9 Joy die-cut, and sparkly silver paper from American Crafts, backed with cardstock for extra stability. The wire in the ribbon makes it extra easy to attach to the card - just fold and stick! Playing along with The Ribbon Carousel Anything Goes Challenge (and hop on over if you want a Ribbon Carousel before they close their doors too).

Can't wait to catch up with my crafty friends tomorrow!!!

     
This made me smile...

A Retro Monday Mood...

CAS(E) this Sketch Guest Designer...

So, so happy when Chrissy asked if I would like to be a Guest Designer this week, and with this fabulous CAS(E) this Sketch to play with, who wouldn't want to play along!  I interpreted the sketch fairly literally - bird and all!  The heart frame was created using My Favorite Thing Die-cut, paired with this cute "love", small heart and bird die-cuts from WPlus9.  The lovebirds are almost floating on air!  American Crafts heart papers line the inside of the card, so they peek through the heart window frame, with a small piece filling the heart in the "o".  The matching lovebirds are die-cut from Crate Paper woodgrain paper.

I can't wait to see what you create using this weeks fabulous CAS(E) this Sketch!
