I'm super excited to be the guest designer for Create A Smile Sketch Challenge!
I created this CAS card with Time To Say Thanks and Floral Decorations stamp sets.
I first stamped these images with Versamark and heat set them with white embossing powder.
Next I used Nuvo Shimmer powders and sprayed it with water.
The small leaves are cut out by hand and adhered with foam squares.
The sentiment is from Create A Smile Mini Birthday stamp set. The 'You' die is stacked 3 times to give it some dimension and is part of the You Twice die.
It's hard to see it on the picture but this card has a beautiful shimmery look and looks really great!

AAA Cards CAS Game #149 - Up to One Third + Optional Twist An Inlaid Die
Hi all!
Today I'm sharing this striped Love you card.
I created this card for my daughter and made it very colorful as she loves ALL colors :)
The stripes are from the Basic Stripes stamp set from SSS and are stamped with Distress Oxide inks.
For the sentiment on the heart I used the die cut inlay technique and I love how a part of the sentiment hangs off the side.
The 'You' sentiment is from the Birthday Messages stamp set from SSS.
I also added some small hearts to finish the card.

Create A Smile Challenge - Mood board
Happy Friday!
Today while I was at work my daughter's teacher called me to say that my daughter was sick so I immediately drove to school and picked her up.
While she was sleeping I had some time to make this card.
I first stamped the flowers with Memento Tuxedo Black and used my Silhouette Cameo to cut it out. The petals and leaves were colored with Copic markers.
I thought a part of these flowers formed a heart shape so I used my scissors to cut off the excess flower and I used a heart die to cut out the heart background from patterned paper.
Next I made some splatters with Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink on the card base.
I adhered the heart to the card base and used foam squares for the flowers to give them some dimension.
The 'happy' and 'to you' sentiment are from the Mini Birthday stamp set from Create A Smile and are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.
The 'birthday' sentiment is from the Birthday Triple die set also from Create A Smile.
