CAS(E) this sketch #163

Today's card is for CAS(E) this sketch # 163.  I have to admit this sketch was a little intimidating for me! Guess it's good to stretch my imagination once in a while! Here is the sketch:

Had to think about this one a bit but here is what I came up with:

I inked up an old Hero Arts shadow stamp with some Distress inks in varying colors of yellow and orange. The lamp stamp  (Unity Stamps) is stamped in Versafine black ink. I then added a little Wink of Stella markers for a bit of sparkle. Die cuts are from Mama Elephant. A few rhinestones for extra bling.

These are the inks and stamps I used. Thanks for stopping by today!

CASology- Laugh Featuring Unity Stamps

Hello! I am entering this card in the CASology challenge - key word LAUGH. I immediately though of my Unity Stamp collection. They have some really great funny stamps! The trick on this challenge blog is to keep your card clean and simple. Something I struggle with but I like the look. 

So here is my card:

The stamp is "crappy day" from Unity Stamps. I cut a rectangle panel using Lil Inker Designs stitched mats die cut, then I fussy cut out the toilet paper roll and added a touch of color with watercolor crayons and a bit of Wink of Stella markers. I misted the panel with a couple of sprays of Heidi Swapp's color shine in gold. I just need a little sparkle I guess!

Here is a detail shot:

CASology week 188

I hope my card made you laugh! Thanks for stopping by!
