A CAS Project

Hello hello!

I know, I know... been quite a while since I wrote on my blog, but it was no hiatus! I have been pretty active over at Papericious and Peek-a-boo Designs!

Soon my ATCs that I sent out as a part of various swaps will reach their destinations and as my swap partners get my projects, I will update my blog accordingly.

Here's a quick CAS card that I made today, kinda loosly based on an earlier project featuring the same Altenew Inks and Peony stamp by So Suzy Stamps!

I have also used the Congratulations on becoming a new.. stamp by So Suzy Stamps. (Just used the congratulations portion of it because I LOVE the font and the size of the stamp.)

So Suzy Stamps is having a retirement sale where select stamps are being retired and are available at 25% less than their original price!

The congratulations stamp is a part of the retiring stamps and while I am sad to see it go, I am glad that I bought it before it was put in the retiring stamps category because once these stamps are gone, they're gone!

You can view the entire range of retiring stamps - here 

And that's it for today, I hope you folks have an awesome weekend! ^__^ *Big Panda Hugs*

New Challenge @ Craftyscrappers

Hello hello! ^__^

It's time for a brand new challenge at Craftyscrappers!

Theme - Challenge #4 - Black and white with a hint of color.

I made a CAS card for this challenge, using the pretty flower die-cut, Code - DC - FLW - 16.

I wanted a geometric, abstract look and what better to combine it with than a pretty flower?  

Steps :

1. The colors moving from black to grey are actually stenciled (Kaisercraft Quarters Stencil) using 3 different inks by Hero Arts. (Black, Charcoal and Soft Granite.)

2. The Flower Die-cut is by Craftyscrappers, Code - DC -FLW - 16 which I have tinted red and given a holo glitter finish.

3. Did a bit of masking using grey, black and red inks and added a couple of sequins after adhering the flower.

4. Stamped sentiment. (It's actually a larger sentiment, I inked only part of it because I only wanted Congratulations on my card.)
This stamp is called - "Congratulations on becoming a new" by So Suzy Stamps.

5. Lastly, added a white brad for the flower center and black glitter to sentiment!

So, I hope to see you participate, click here for the deets!

Till next time! *Hugs*
