Aloe Vera Card Set (CASology Week #368 mid-inspiration)

Hi everyone! :o)

Last Tuesday, May 12th, 2020, a new challenge started at CASology. This fortnight's cue word is Plant. :o)

Due to some unexpected work situation and deadlines I had to meet, I didn't have the time to prepare my take on the challenge on time, so I'm bringing it today as mid-inspiration.There's still plenty of time to join the challenge, which ends on Monday, May 25th, 2020, 9 AM, CDT (UTC -5).

We also have a sponsor for this challenge: STAMPlorations. Find all details about the prize over at CASology blog.

And here is my take on the challenge: CAS (clean and simple), Aloe Vera Card Set. :o)

Design defined: 

Paper piecing works well with CAS cards.

How I made my cards....

To make this card set I CASEd (copy and share everything) my own card that I made in October 2016 (here). I went with same design, layout, color scheme, used same products, but there are some differences. :o)

For this card set I used stamps from Jane's Doodles 'Cactus' stamp set and a patterned paper from Create a Smile 'Sending Sunshine' kit. :o)

I stamped images on 2 different design papers, fussy cut them out and traced their edges with black marker. I arranged them and glued directly on white top folded card bases. I glued a stripe of a design paper on each card base, same paper I used for pots. Then I stamped a sentiment directly on card bases, partly covering pots.

Then I highlighted letters, aloe veras and stripes on the striped design paper.

As a finishing touch, I embellished cards with grey enamel dots and my card set was finished. :o) 

Card measurements: 95 mm x 127 mm (3 3/4" x 5")

Aloe Veras Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this CAS (clean and simple), Aloe Veras Card.

For this card I used Jane's Doodles 'Cactus' stamp set, I love it so much!! :o)

To make this card I was inspired with Aloe Veras I have on my window. Aloe Veras are only plants in my apartment. I have some other flowers and succulents outside. :o)

I stamped images on 2 different design papers, fussy cut them out and colored their edges with black marker. I arranged them and glued directly on a white top folded card base.

Then I stamped a sentiment, partly covering a pot. I highlighted letters with white gel pen and also triangles on the pot.

To add more interest to my card, I glued a stripe of a design paper, added couple of dark grey enamel stickers and my card was finished. :o)

Card dimensions: 101 mm x 133 mm (4" x 5 1/4")
