NBUS#9 and Time Out #75 - CASEing Ksenija

Hello!

Time Out Challenge 75 has the prettiest inspiration from Ksenija (Sweet Kobylkin). Our challenge is to CASE her with our own twist.

For my card I took the basic layout and design from Ksenija's card but expanded the glittery side strip, darkened the tone-on-tone stamping in the background, and added a few bits of bling.

I used Uniko Originally Organic stamps. Card base is PTI Soft Stone.

This is Ksenija's gorgeous inspiration card.

I'm also entering into Darnell's NBUS Challenge#9 where she is celebrating her wedding anniversary and blogaversary in one giant celebration. I meant to join in last week, but didn't get to the craft room fast enough! My NBUS is my Uniko stamp set. It has been sitting on my desk awaiting some love for WAY TOO LONG! This week's optional themes include a hidden sentiment and/or CASEing. I didn't create a hidden sentiment on this one (keep your eyes peeled for a future post) but I did CASE. :-) Darnell is heading in for surgery in a couple of days and I wish her the very best. I am sure she will be showered with hundreds of cards to cheer her on her recovery!

Thanks for dropping by to visit!

CAS flowers and a cranky chicken

Hello!

I saw the inspiration photo over at Just Add Ink and I just couldn't resist playing along! Such pretty flowers! I used my new favourite flowers - SU! Garden in Bloom - and, because I am also joining in with Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge where the theme is colouring, I coloured with Copics.

I masked the flowers to create my little grouping

Edit to add: I'm joining in at Time Out Challenges, too! I knew there was one I had missed listing!

Before I go, I'll share a photo of my chicken Peggy. She has gone broody and very cranky. She spent all day running around with her tail feathers flared and her hackles up making velociraptor noises (as heard in Jurassic Park). She's rather scary when she's like this, haha!

Thanks for dropping by!
