One Layer CAS card

Hi friends!

I made two CAS cards a couple of days back but haven't been able to blog about it till now, so I decided to share them here. I was making one layer CAS cards and I must admit that making a one layer CAS card was difficult because I wanted to add more but I had to convince myself to keep it very minimalistic and simple. This time I used a stencil and created a gradient of color by color blending 3 colors which I thought represented the "opposites" in the sentiment- cloudy and sunshine so I went from yellow to blue to black. The sentiment was heat embossed with black embossing powder to give it some shine and pop.

Here are a few images of the finished card:

Supplies Used:

1. Iris cardstock 250 gsm

2. Tim holtz distress inkpads- squeezed lemonade, peacock feathers and black soot

3. Versamark watermark Inkpad
