Bravo- You Did It!!

Hi Again Stampers!!

I decided to create a Clean and Simple (CAS) card for the CAS (E) This Sketch! CTS76 Sketch using the CASology 95- Splash.    

Since I tend to gravitate toward a vintage/shabby chic style, I truly admire those artists who can create CAS cards and try to push myself to create them every so often :-)

If you have not had time to check out both sites, I hope that you will do so- great inspiration from all!

To create this card:

Ink the image from For the Birds using Memento Ink and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.   Color the images using Stampin’ Write Markers- Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Sahara Sand, Soft Sky and Wild Wasabi. 

Punch the image out using the 2” Circle Punch, layer a 1 ¾” cardstock circle punched from Real Red cardstock behind the image (cut in half before layering on an angle) and mount the layered image onto a 2 ½” circle punched from Bermuda Bay cardstock.

Ink the Gorgeous Grunge ink splatter stamp using Soft Sky Classic Ink and stamp repeatedly to designate the elements of the sketch.  Add the Real Red accents using the larger splatter from Gorgeous Grunge as well as the sentiment from the new set, Bravo.

Trim and adhere to a Real Red cardstock panel and mount onto the Bermuda Bay card base. 

Add a few Rhinestones to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets: For The Birds, Bravo, Gorgeous Grunge

Ink: Tuxedo Memento Black, Real Red, Soft Sky; Stampin’ Write Markers- Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Sahara Sand, Soft Sky and Wild Wasabi

Stamp the floral image from Lacy & Lovely using Cool Caribbean Classic Ink onto Cool Caribbean cardstock.  Layer on to Real Red cardstock and again onto a Whisper White card base.

Adhere the banners for the sketch (use the 1” Square Punch to create the banner strips), add the focal image and the banner sentiment along with the little butterflies from the Bitty Butterfly Punch, add the Pearls to finish off the card.
