Happy Ladybug Day!

Time for another challenge over at

And this time it is CTS #37

HEXAGONS!

My interpretation of this CAS sketch is:

My hexagons are made by a die 

from Simon Says Stamp called

(surprise!)

"Hexagons"

I matted each onto some black card stock and

the verse is by Eureka Stamps.

Paper from scraps and the 

ladybug adorning the corner

(to accent one paper)

is from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

Up...Up...and Away!

I am keeping it sweet and simple!!

Below is my CAS card for

The sketch this week is CTS#35

and should look somewhat like this:

Mine looks like this:

The verse is by Eureka Stamps

and the butterflies are dies by

Cheery Lynn Designs

I added some color with Copics and a

Gelly Roll clear glitter pen by Sakura.

I popped the little insects up and folded their

wings for naught as they look rather flat

in my photo.

The strip of multi-colored paper was a

background I did for

Technique Junkies when on their DT

a while back.  It was called

"Color Pop" and is a very apt name!

Thanks for stopping by.

My Airbrush Debut!

I just got my air compressor for airbrushing with my Copic markers and this card is what happened:

I know it's simple, well maybe "stark" would be a better word?

But hey it's my first ever attempt with this and I feel pretty good that I did not toss out 

my initial try.

After stamping the tree (Rubber Stamp Plantation) I masked a

circle for my sun and also masked off the bottom portion for a clear line between sky and sea.

So okay maybe the sky is off somewhat, but I doubt I am ready to brush rays just yet.

Removing the mask at the bottom and turning so it covered the sky area, I brushed 

for the sea.  The black ribbon is to cover up this small line of white that got missed.

I used the punch-out paper for a reverse mask for the sun so I could try giving it some tones.

I think the sun itself came out the best,  Do you think so?

The verse is by Eureka Stamps.

Please tell me what you think?
