I
have another quick CAS Mixed Media card to share using the Pretty
Potted Florals Clear Stamp Set (designed by NinaB Designs) and the Long
Stemmed Silhouettes Clear Stamp Set (designed by Korin Sutherland)- both
available from Sweet ‘n Sassy
Stamps.
I decided
to incorporate the CAS(E)
This Sketch #221 Sketch Challenge along with the Splitcoaststampers' CC634 "Bye-Bye, So Long" Color Challenge (use 2,3,4,5 or all 6- I used all 6 colors) and the Word
Art Wednesday #282-283 “Anything Goes” Challenge.
Again,
if you have not had a chance to visit the challenge sites or SNSS Blog/FB Page yet, I encourage
you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Ink the floral image from Pretty Potted Florals using archival black ink and
stamp onto white cardstock. Watercolor
the image with water-based markers and die cut with a stitched rectangle
die. Mount onto black cardstock and trim
close to the edge.
2).
Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4” x 5 ¼” for the background, use sponge
daubers with dijon ink along with a flourish stencil to lightly stencil the
background panel and around the floral image.
3).
Mask off the vertical element of the sketch and apply picket fence distress
stain over the stenciling on the background (to tone down the color and create
a muted background). Score along the
masked edge before trimming the panel.
4).
Layer the horizontal scored strip onto black cardstock, mount the split
background panel onto the black card front and adhere the layered horizontal
strip.
5).
Ink the sentiment from Long Stemmed Silhouettes with embossing ink onto black
cardstock and heat emboss with white embossing powder. Once cooled, create the banner points and
mount onto the floral image panel.
6).
Adhere the floral image layered panel onto the card with dimensional foam and
use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the petals as well as the background
(difficult to see in the photo).
7).
Finish off the card with a pearl in the center of the flower.
Thanks
again for stopping by- I hope I have inspired you to pull out your supplies and
create something this weekend. Hugs and have
a great week, sweet friends!
