Post 215: CAS card: You're Tea-riffic!

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple Card today. This is a 5 by 7 side folding card. I started out by using a stencil to do watercoloring. This was the first time I tried this out. Basically, used zig markers to paint through the stencil. After that, I added more color and used an aqua brush to do watercoloring. 

Then stamped the sentiment (You're Tea-riffic) , hearts and tea cup in distress oxide and did water coloring with zigs. Added 3 tiny fussy cut butterflies to the card panel. Finally, adhered the card panel which is a wonky stitched rectangle die cut of watercolor paper onto a white card base. I kept the color palette as yellow, orange and reds to keep with the happy and summery theme. 

List of Supplies:

Lawn Fawn Stamp- Best Pun Ever
Designs by Ryn Stencil- Maidenhair Fern
Cutplorations Die- Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die
White Cardstock 250 gsm
Distress Oxide Inkpad- Fired Brick
Canson Watercolor Paper
Tombow Mono Multi Glue
DCWV Cardbase (for the tiny butterflies)

Here are a few photographs of the card:

Post 214: CAS One Layer Card: Tea

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple One Layer Card today. This is a standard A2 size top folding card. I sponged 2 distress oxide inks through a stencil negative to create a yellow-orangish curve. Then stamped the sentiment in black archival ink and the images in red ink. To add a few details, colored the cup and kettle with Derwent pencils and for a little drama, added a little steam coming out of the cup :)  The color palette is in keeping with summer; yellows and reds. 

List of Supplies:

Paper Sweeties Stamp- Eat Cake (Sentiment)
Paper Sweeties Stamp- Planner Series- Happy Icons

Distress Oxide Inkpads- Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade

Post 213: CAS One Layer Card: Snarky Love

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple One Layer Card today. This is a standard A2 size top folding card. This is a snarky love card :) the first one I've made. The sentiment is quite fun I think, it reads, "I love you more than Coffee. (but please don't make me prove it)". I've kept the color palette bright, happy and summery with the yellows and oranges.

I sponged 2 distress oxide inks through a splatter design stencil and created the yellowish-orangish blobs of colors. Then stamped the sentiments in brown archival ink. I thought of stamping the snarky sentiment on the bottom right to look as a post script :)

List of Supplies:

Reverse Confetti Stamp- For the Love of Latte
Distress Oxide Inkpads- Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade
Ranger's round blending tool and foam
Ranger's Archival Ink- Potting Soil
Craftyscrappers Stencil- Color Splash
White Cardstock 250 gsm

Post 212: CAS One Layer Card: Fly

Hi friends :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple One Layer Card today. This is a standard A2 size top folding card. The process was simple enough. I sponged some distress ink through a butterfly stencil and created 3 flying butterflies. Then stamped the sentiment which reads, "May you always be brave enough to fly." in grey archival ink onto the card base. To emphasize the sentiment, I drew on three black stripes with a fine point sharpie. I really love that sentiment, its so encouraging and positive.

Distress Inkpad- Festive Berries

Post 211- Birthday Card

Hi Friends :)

I'd like to share a birthday card today. This is roughly 5 by 7 inches in size and side folding. I have adhered the black card panel to the white card base in an offset manner in order to offer contrast to the black. I did some watercoloring with zig markers and an aqua brush. Stamped the silhouette of the tree and then painted the green foliage and scenery. To add stripes to the card, I added washi tapes. 

List of Supplies:

Post 210: CAS Card- Latte Love

Hi friends :)

Today, I spent a few hours cardmaking and it was so much fun! I didn't even get enough sleep after watching movies till very late but as soon as I woke up I felt the need to do some water coloring. It is so so much fun! I'm only a novice but I enjoy it tremendously :)

I'd like to share a Clean and Simple Card. This is a side folding 5 by 7 card. This is a summer themed project depicted by the warm yellow and orange colors I used around the coffee mug.

The procedure was simple enough. The panel is a wonky stitched rectangle die cut of watercolor paper. Stamped the images on it. Then did watercoloring and then adhered the clustered heart die cut (added 3 watercolored hearts in the negative space for added interest.) to the panel. Finally, adhered the card panel to the card base. The sentiment reads, "Sending a whole latte love your way mom"

List of Supplies:

Stamplorations Stamp- Latte Love (Shery Russ Designs)
Cutplorations Die- Clustered Hearts
Cutplorations Die- Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die
Lawn Fawn Stamp- Best Pun Ever (sentiment-mom)
Canson Watercolor Paper
Iris White Cardstock 250 gsm
