Hi everyone! :o)
My second post today... If you missed the first one, just scroll down or follow a direct link here.
Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this CAS (clean and simple), one layer, Hello Card.
To make this card, I used GORGEOUS Jane's Doodles 'Cactus' stamp set. Succulents and cactus are my favorite plants, so you can imagine how much I LOVE the set. :o)
When I received the stamp set (August 2016), I stamped all images on paper scraps and fussy cut them out. I made these to use them as a help to arrange scenes and as masks. I store these in a pouch with the stamp set.:o)
For a card base I used Canson XL Mixed Media Paper. I stamped the the cactus/succulent pot directly on the card base using pre-made masks. Here and there I fixed some lines with black fine liner. I colored the stamped image in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. After drying, I stamped a sentiment on the card overlapping the pot. I like this a lot!! :o)
As a finishing touch, I coated a cactus's bloom and sentiment with glossy Wink of Stella. Love the shimmer!! :o)
Card dimensions: 101 mm x 101 mm (4" x 4")

So pretty CAS, and love that shimmer on the cactus flower!!
ReplyDeleteMilka, te tvoje cas voščilnice so mi noro všeč! :) Rumen bleščeč da voščilnici poseben lesk.
ReplyDeleteTudi sama obožujem kaktuse in jih imam kar nekaj doma. Tudi tale set štampiljk, ampak še nisem imela časa, da jih uporabim. Mislim, da jih bom kmalu. Krasen navdih si mi! :)
What a lovely CAS design and you watercoloured the image so beautifully. Thanks for the tip about stamping and cutting the images to keep with the set for designing and masking!
