A quick post to share yet another 'black, yellow and white' card and for a radical change: it isn't a shaker!! Do I hear cheering? Applause? I still have a bunch of unopened sequins to use...just sayin'...
A simple card that features my fabulous Fabulous stamp, because I'm still crushing over that font, my Explosion stamp and embossing paste (aka, in my case, polyfilla) stenciled stars. Ummm, is embossing paste still in? With all the lovely water-colouring on display, I suspect I'm about 16 trends behind. Oh well, I still have a tub of polyfilla and some heart stencils (of the trio on my Heidi Swapp sheet) to use, so though I may be lagging, I'll do my best to create 'fresh' designs with the oldies...
My inspirations came from:
N@ Ali's CAS(E) this Sketch #75
Addicted to Cas #38: Off the Edge (I felt a bit off the edge at work today...or maybe 'at' the edge..or "on" the edge...one of "those" days...)
Here we are: Fabulous: WOW...two versions, in the hopes that the 'stickly sparkle' can be seen. I stamped the explosion burst once on the card base, then embossed, coloured and cut out a second one, to pop up.
The sun's shining, the clouds overhead are puffy marshmallows, the wind is...well, windy, and the temperature is pretty reasonably! I'm going for a walk, and my husband will come with me, on his bike...
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments make my day!

Wow, wow, wow!! Sorry I'm behind in my commenting!! Fighting a cold and have been miserable. lol Of course my guys would say I'm miserable all the time, but that's another story!! Love, love this card Carol! That "fabulous" stamp font is amazing and oh yes, I love it!! Your take on the sketch is awesome, I so love that explosion burst-looks so cool and yes, I can see the sparkle!! Oh yeah, this is one fabulous card my friend!!! Glad you got out for a walk. Our wind has been-well very windy too. Blew my flowers completely out my bay window! Darn wind. lol And the wind continues....Hugs
Wow! I am in an awe! What a fabulous card!
WOW indeed! I can't believe you combined so many challenges and made it look so effortless! Great card!
Don't even put it out there, the idea that the embossing paste/stencil trend is passé! I am just getting started! But then, I am usually way behind on trends... Love your card especially your glittery stars!
This is fabulous! Wow! Great take on the sketch!
Carol, you are not in anyway behind the times….stenciling is still so very in as far as I can tell and this card is a gorgeous example of it. I still don't own any stencils and so have not tried this technique at all……you are two up on me tonight!!!!!! Shaker card and stencils!!!! That 'fabulous' stamp is quite simply 'fabulous'…..I think you have convinced me to buy this set too!!! xxx
Fantastic, fun card Carol! I about fell over from all of the AMAZING, kind comments you floated my way, friend. Thank you, thank you for blessing me so~ ;)
BEYOND WOW!!! Beyond FABULOUS! (I am soooo going to get that stamp!). This card packs a whole lot of 'kapow' with only three elements (I count the stars as one). Love the CAS look!
PS ....I hear you loud & clear with the idea of 'gulp' venturing into new technique territory!
This is a real standout in the gallery, Carol. Thank you for joining the Off the Edge challenge at ATCAS! I'm sorry I haven't been around much. I hate it when that happens, but that's life sometimes! I'm glad to hear you are finally getting some decent weather for walking! Take care! Hugs, Darnell
isn't this wow stamp just awesome and what a cool way to use it...given me an idea! And your stars are so sparkly, I love them!! And thanks for the encouragement as I actually made a shaker card...not too good but going to use it as my TIME OUT DT card next week. Oh and thanks for joining us at ATCAS
Well fabulous is just what this card is!! Love the big sentiment and the starburst of wow!! Those pretty little sparkly stars are perfect! And don't worry about being trendy! I love what you do! I am all stamps and dies these days. Been stamping so long, that I have seen the trends circle back around several times, so many of the new ones are old to me! hahaha!
