Welcome to ATCAS challenge #12.  Christine is hosting this challenge and she has selected the code word RAINBOW. 

Our sponsor for this challenge is Clear Dollar Stamps:

Please go to the ATCAS challenge blog to check out the prize our sponsor is offering and while you are there please check out the rules of the challenge and our DT's awesome samples!

Now, on to my card.  I already had some shapes cut out to use for reverse masking. I used a blending tool and various inks for the shapes. I made the rainbow and clouds by using a Sizzix Hello Kitty die. The twine I used to adhere to the die cut is from the Twinery and the rainbow and clouds are attached with foam squares. The sentiment is from PaperTrey.

Inspired by Wild Thing Dresses

I created this card for the SCS Inspiration challenge - the website was Wild Thing Dresses.  I was inspired by the Funky Reversible Hat.  This design is a case (practically an exact copy) of this card by Michelle Short.  The butterfly is from Hero Arts and the sentiment and patterned paper is from PaperTrey.  I colored the butterfly with Copic Markers and added rhinestones for the body.  I rounded some of the corners and adhered the top panel with foam squares.

SCS CAS, TLC and Runway Inspired Challenges

This card came together as a result of several challenges and the CAS Online Cardmaking CLass.  The layout is from the CAS153 challenge - color blocking sketch, the technique lovers challenge TLC360 was to use twine and the Runway Inspiration challenge (RIC#4) is to use this picture for inspiration:

I used some Nestabilities to cut out the shapes to create my mask for reverse masking.  I used a few different blue inks and a blending tool and colored in each shape.  The rainbow and cloud die is a Sizzix Hello Kitty die.  I used The Twinery Twine to create the rainbow.  The sentiment is from paperTrey Ink.
I am also submitting this to the Moxie Fab World Cool Tools: The Die Cutting Challenge

SNSS and The Twinery Blog Hop

Please scroll down or click here for Flutter By Wednesday.

 Welcome to the Sweet 'N Sassy and The Twinery Blog Hop.  If you just came from Jen Carter's blog, Jen's Ink Spot you are right on track.  If you haven't you might want to start at the beginning of the hop (at The Twinery Blog) so you don't miss any of the eye candy from the Twinery's and SNSS' Design Teams.

 Sweet 'N Sassy stamps 

 and The Twinery

have teamed up for a fabulous blog hop featuring both companies' great products. 
You have likely seen the beautiful Twinery twine on many of the SNSS DT projects since it is sold in the SNSS store.

Here is my card using The Twinery's Twine and the Sweet 'N Sassy Change of Seasons stamp set and matching die.  I stamped the leaves with Versamark ink and clear embossed them.  With a blending tool I sponged on More Mustard, Tim Holtz Tea Dye and Real Rust inks over the leaves.  I cleaned off the ink on the leaves with a cloth.  I used one of the die to cut a leaf from the sponged paper and attached it with a foam square to the card.  I then wrapped the twine around the inked panel a few times and attached the button and tied a bow.  This panel was mounted on cream cardstock.

Here is the wonderful prize that The Twinery has up for grabs wit today's hop, The Ultimate Color Sampler Pack valued at $25:

Here is our SNSS prize ....  the Season of Change stamp set and Die bundle, valued at $28.

For a chance to win one of these wonderful prizes you MUST comment on each blog in the hop.  Winners will be announced on Sunday, October 23rd on the Twinery blog as well as on the SNSS blog.
