Hi there!

I have a quick and easy CAS card to share with you today!



   
For this card I choose a rather masculine color combination.
I stamped the circles with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink.
The sentiment is from SSS and is stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

Rings and splatters

Hi crafty friends,

For this card I was inspired by Janet from Swanlady Impressions. You can find her card here. Go check out her blog as she creates beautiful cards!

For my card I first stamped the woodgrain background from Viva Decor with Jellyfish Lawn Fawn Ink which is a very soft ink.

Next I masked off a part of the rings stamp because I only wanted to use 6 rings based on the Inspired By challenge. I stamped them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added some color with 6 different Copic markers also based on the colors of the Inspired By challenge.

I wanted to add some extra paint splatters around the rings so I used the splatters stencil from Tim Holtz and Memento Tuxedo Black.

Finally I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts with Versafine Onyx Black.

Congrats

Happy Saturday!

Here's a card I created with 2 challenges in mind.

I first stamped the Multifaceted background from Winnie & Walter with Memento Tuxedo Black and randomly colored some parts with a yellow and gray Copic marker.

I then die cut the Daisy Stem from SSS and colored the outline with a darker gray Copic marker. The leaves were colored with the same yellow as the background.

Finally I added a frame and adhered the die cut sentiment from Create A Smile.

I first did some watercolor smooshing on a piece of watercolor paper and then stamped the outline of the big flower from Altenew with Versamark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

Next I stamped the leaves with Silver Stone Altenew ink.
I adhered the flower to the card base with foam squares to give it some dimension and also heat embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder.

Altenew May 2020 Inspiration Challenge

Hi crafty friends!

For this card I started with the background which is inspired by the ink card swiping technique from Channin Pelletier. I've used this technique last week on this card and I love it!
This time I used Mustard Seed and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide inks.

Next I used the Wallpaper Art stamp set from Altenew and the coordinating mask to stamp the flowers and leaves with Persian Blue Altenew ink. I also heat embossed them with clear embossing powder to let them shine.

Finally I did the same with the sentiment, added some blue enamel dots and adhered this panel with foam tape to the card base.
