This week's it's our ever popular CAS challenge - clean and crisp, with minimal embellishment, lots of white space (or coloured space). We also have some fantastic sponsors this week - all offering prizes - see below. I'm going to start with a birthday card - seems appropriate:
Stamps: Bugaboo Digi - JJ Tequila and Shoes; Winnie & Walter - The Party
Inks: Stampin' Up! - Daffodil Delight, Green Galore, Primrose Petals, Brocade Blue
Dies: Spellbinders - Superellipse (S5-188) #1
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU DP - Rose Red; Copic Markers; Wink of Stella - Clear; Glossy Accents
I love the JJ digis and there are loads on the Bugaboo site - do check them out. I printed her on white card, coloured with Copic markers, carefully drew a line around the image and cut it out with a scalpel. I added some Wink of Stella to her dress, earrings, hat and cake frosting. I also added some glossy accents to her specs. As she's at a party, I decorated the front of the card with party confetti - still keeping it reasonably clean and simple. I finished the front with a simple birthday greeting. On the inside I cut a mat layer of design paper and added a sentiment and more confetti on the white panel.
Next I have a Christmas card to share - it's a bit different:
Stamps: Sami Stamps Digi - Christmas Lights Mermaid
Dies: Spellbinders - Mega Rectangles Lg (S4-142) #4, Mega Rectangles Scalloped LG (S4-143) #4
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Kaisercraft DP - North Pole; Copic Markers; Wink of Stella - Clear; Glossy Accents
I love the whimsical digital images at Sami Stamps and just love this festive mermaid. I coloured her with Copic markers and cut out the finished image with a die, layering it on some red design paper. I added Wink of Stella to her tail, bra, eye lids and hairband. I put glossy accents on the Christmas lights. I finished the front with a ready-made sentiment from the design paper pad. On the inside I cut a mat layer of the red paper and added another sentiment in the middle.
My last card is bright and summery and features a cute little snail!
Stamps: A Day for Daisies Digi - On Top of the World; PTI - Doodlie-Do
Inks: Versafine - Onyx Black
Dies: Spellbinders - Mega Rectangles Lg (S4-142) #3, Mega Rectangles Scalloped LG (S4-143) #3
Accessories: White Lustre Card; Kaisercraft DP - Fiesta!; Copic Markers; Wink of Stella - Clear;
Such a fun and quirky digital image - I adore that cute little snail and he really sparkles in the sun - he's covered with Wink of Stella! I coloured with Copics, cut out with a die, layered on to a mat and adhered in the centre of the card. On the inside I cut a mat layer of the same design paper and added some flowers to the white panel.
