Finally had some free time to do some stamping just for fun! I have a pile of this weeks' challenges printed out on my work table and I got a couple covered with these cards!
I did a little water coloring on this card. For the background, I colored on my acrylic block with Ranger Distress Markers, spritzed the block with water and then stamped it on the card stock. I die cut the piece with my new Love Note die from Reverse Confetti. I inked the Funky Flower stamps with the same Ranger Distress Markers I used for the background - spritzed the stamps with water and stamped them over the background. I added enamel dots to the centers and stamped the sentiment from Birthday Buddies by Paper Smooches in black.
My colors were chosen for the Colour Q challenge
and I water colored for Virginia's View Challenge
And the Paper Smooches challenge - Anything Goes
My 2nd card is a clean and simple birthday card using the Circus Spectacular stamp set from MFT, a chevron embossing folder and stitched mat circle die.
I used a circus theme for the Cas-ology Cue Card - Carnival
My son, Josh, and his partner, April are coming to dinner Saturday night and after church on Sunday two friends and I are having a St. Patrick's Day sale and then a card stamping workshop at church - so I've got a busy weekend!
I'll be back on Monday at 7 pm EST - at the Waltzingmouse Pajama Party - and on Tuesday - I'll be posting a new spring template from Creations by AR - hope to see you then!

I can't believe you have a seal stamp! I love this fun image and the way you've added interest to your card with the embossed panel and the 'stitching' on the white circle. Thanks so much for joining us at CASology this week!
