Exciting Ink Squad News!

Wow!! do I have some exciting news to share with you!  I'm on The Ink Squad because I am now a Girl Friday!!



I'm very happy to announce that I have been invited to join the Design Team for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!  There are fun new designers joining the team - and Michele has got a great giveaway to celebrate - leave a comment here if you wish,- hope you do!!... and then head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays headquarters to check out all the fun!

And of course I made a card to welcome you all, because the stamping community if just so awesome!


I saw a video on Jennifer McGuire's blog regarding making rainbow backgrounds and so I had to try it with the CAS-ual Fridays Curtis Background.

I stamped the background with Versamark Ink on white cardstock and then embossed it with white
embossing powder.

Using various distress inks, I slid the coloured ink over top of the embossing - sort of willy nilly (very technical stamping term).  I then spritzed the cardstock with water and watched the colours "join" together to form the prettiness!!


I cut the background sheet on a diagonal and adhered it to a white card base.  Using the "friend" Fri-die, I die cut it in pink and then in white cardstock and slightly overlapped them together.

I adhered that to the card base and stamped the "hey there" sentiment from the "Girlfriend" stamp set along with the little starburst to dot the "i".

I added a little twinkly gem and some twine to finish it off!

Now, if you are interested in any of these products that I have used today - and why wouldn't you be?! - feel free to use my discount code - Bonnie2016 - on any CAS-ual Friday product - how fun is that??!!  I'll have this graphic on my sidebar- so you can use it anytime --heehaw!!



Head on over to the CAS-ual Friday's blog to check out all the fun!!
