CAS Crazy About You- A Color, Sketch and Stencil Challenge :-)

Hi Stampers!!

Here is the second Clean and Simple (CAS) card that I created using the Hand StampedSentiments HSSCC209 Color Challenge along with the Splitcoaststampers’ SC536 Sketch (see details here and gallery here) and the CAS320 Stencil It! Challenge (see details here and gallery here).

Again, if you have not already done so, I hope you will find the time to visit the above challenge sites!  They have fantastic Design Team samples as well as wonderful inspiration from their galleries :-)

To create this card:

Using Calypso Coral Classic Ink, stamp the flower from Crazy About You and stamp twice onto Whisper White cardstock.

Stamp the leaf stem twice as well using Mossy Meadow Classic Ink onto Whisper White cardstock.

“Fussy-cut” the leaf stems, one of the flowers full size and the other flower without the outer petals.

Use a Sponge Dauber with Bermuda Bay Classic Ink to stencil the honeycomb portion of the Balzer Designs® Mini Punchenella Stencil onto Whisper White cardstock (avoiding the center of the card).

Use the Simply Scored™ Scoring Tool to create the scored lines down the center.

Trim the stenciled Whisper White panel and mount onto a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock, trim again and mount onto the Whisper White card base.

Stamp the sentiment from Sheltering Tree with Mossy Meadow Classic Ink.

Mount the leaves and large flower to the card front using Tombow™ Multi Mono Liquid Glue and add the second flower to the center of the large flower (lining up the petals) using Stampin’ Dimensionals®.

Adhere the Pearl to the center of the flower to finish off the card.

Stamp Sets:  Crazy About You, Sheltering Tree

Ink:  Calypso Coral, Mossy Meadow

Paper: Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral

Accessories: Simply Scored™ Tool, Pearl, Mini Punchenella Stencil by Balzar Designs®

Choose Happiness- CAS Sympathy for a Color and Sketch Challenge :-)

Hi Stampers!!

I created two completely different Clean and Simple cards using the Hand StampedSentiments HSSCC209 Color Challenge along with the Splitcoaststampers’ SC536 Sketch (see details here and gallery here).

I will share the second card in a separate post since it also incorporates stenciling for the CAS320 Challenge :-)

Again, if you have not already done so, I hope you will find the time to visit the above challenge sites- they have wonderful Design Team samples as well as inspiration from their galleries!

To create this card:

Using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink, stamp the flower and stem images from Choose Happiness onto Whisper White cardstock.

Use an AqauPainter™ with Calypso Coral Classic Ink to color the flower and Mossy Meadow Classic Ink to color the eaves.

Add definition with the Stampin’ Write marker in the same colors as above and use the White Gel Pen to add highlights to the center of the flower.

Create a 1 ¾” Square of Whisper White cardstock and mount it onto a 2” square of Bermuda Bay cardstock.

Add the 2 ¼” half square of Whisper White cardstock to the right hand side of the layered square.

“Fussy-cut” the flower and leaves and mount to the center of the layered square.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Chevron Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock and cut a panel 2” wide x 5 ¼” long.

Mount the embossed panel onto a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock.

Stamp the sentiment using Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink and add the layered flower square.

Mount the entire panel onto the Whisper White card base to finish off the card.
