I'll have a cafe`,mocha,vodka,valium latte!

Hi Everyone!
     It's time for our challenge at 613 Avenue Create and our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps who I just adore!  Our option is to create a CAS (Clean And Simple) card/project.  I've gotten better at CAS, although I still want to add "stuff".  I chose to work with JJ coffee to go and let's just say this sentiment is hysterical!  If anyone knows where I can get one of her coffee's just let me know!  LOL!  

Ok...I know...it's not exactly CAS because I did do paper piecing but for me it's CAS!  LOL!

Well that's it for now...see you Tuesday for my TTCRD DT project!

Watercolor flowers

It's time for another Through The Craftroom Door challenge!  

This week we are sponsored by

Here is my DT card

I water colored two pieces of paper (blue/purples and green) then printed the digi.  I "fussy cut" the flowers and leaves out and glued the pieces on top of an image printed on white CS.  Just like a puzzle!  LOL!  The plum paper is from DCWV Shimmer Stack, the white with glitter design CS was a scrap I bought from a stamp store.  I used the Sizzix scalloped die and the Dainty Bow die by MFT.

The centers of the flowers are micro beads by Martha Stuart.  I put some Glossy Accents then poured the beads over it.  I did three layers this way so it is raised up.  I wrapped some cloth floral wire around the end of my pin tool and tucked them under the flowers secured with a little Glossy Accents (I love that stuff!!).  The crystals are Jolee's Hotfix Crystals.

I really like how this came out.  Let me tell you it's not easy fussy cutting water color paper!  LOL!  I hope you can stop by and see what my talented DT members have created or maybe you could join us at TTCRD for our Anything Goes Challenge!

Thanks for stopping by!
