I've had a full plate lately, and haven't played in the CAS(E) challenge for quite a while. When I saw the new sketch, the inspiration came back full force and I couldn't wait to try it out. Usually I'm very challenged (no pun intended) by this style, but when I see others use it, I find it very appealing, so I want to get better at it for myself as well. Here's sketch #44:
To back up a bit: I'd seen
this and really wanted to try to replicate it, but without buying the die. (Sorry, Simon Says Stamp. I'd love to buy the whole store, really.) So I pulled out my Wild Card Cricut cartridge, and sure enough, there was a "hello" sentiment. I cut it out, used the negative space as my stencil....and ended up with a hot mess. (You won't be seeing a picture of
that card. Eww.)
Enter sketch #44. The "hello" I'd cut and set aside was adorable....but what to do with it? Thanks, sketch #44. You really helped me out.
I used foam tape to give dimension to the word, and colored over the top with a clear gelly roll glitter pen. The flower stamp is from a Hampton Arts set called "Make a Great Pair" and the ink is Stampin' Up Going Gray. (Terrible name for an ink, by the way..didn't they change it? Sure hope so.)
A bit of Copic coloring and some pearls finished things off.
This was really fun to make. Once again, proof positive that CAS has grown on me.
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, this is lovely!
