CAS-ual Fridays New Release - Powerful Words

Hello again, crafty friends!   Michele has done it again!   Check out the gorgeousness that is the new set "Powerful Words".   These sentiments just rock, and I wanted to give this one the spotlight!

I used a fun Foam Front Card Kit by Queen & Company to create this card - just add sequins (or shaker material of your choice).   I did a rainbow of colors from Pretty Pink Posh for this particular card, but I can just picture doing these in holiday colors, an ombre of one particular shade....the options are endless!  

The width of the lines was just right to add the smaller words of the sentiment directly to the card front.   For the large 'Miracles', I stamped in Versamark ink onto acetate, and heat embossed with black glitter embossing powder.   I fussy cut around the word, and adhered it to the card front.   

'Powerful Words', and the entire October release, is available in the CAS-ual Fridays store right NOW!   Remember, the code KIMBERLY16 will save you 15% off your entire purchase!   Happy shopping!

Watercolor Blog Hop!

Woo-hoo, it's Friday, people!   Thank heavens....I've had a rough week.   My computer's hard drive went kaput, so I lost a TON of photos and had to spend loads of time reinstalling programs, etc. UGH!  And I also lost my Photoshop Elements, so I'm looking for a new editing program.   Any suggestions are welcome!   I tried PicMonkey for today's card....

So - on to today's card for the Watercolor Blog Hop!   I used my new Zig Real Brush markers to create a soft purple and teal watercolor background and then went over it with some Perfect Pearls Mist.   The feathers, from the Jane's Doodles 'Wise Owl' set were embossed with black embossing powder.   To add some interest to the card, I sliced the background apart and tucked the sentiment ("Giving Thanks" from Simon Says Stamp) right in between.   And of course, since this hop is sponsored by Pretty Pink Posh, I had to add some sequins!!   I used Graphite and Sparkling Clear....

I hope you have time to enter this hop....it's sure to be a fun one!   Now I'm off to go check out all the other amazing cards!   Have a great weekend!
