Card Concept Challenge #51

Hi everyone! Our new challenge at The Card Concept is an inspiration photo for spring.

I don't usually have time to do challenges but I do enjoy them and this week's CAS on Sunday sketch was perfect.  I watercolored some pink onto watercolor paper. Then I stamped the nest over this and die cut the circle.  I found some old Pretty in Pink DSP to layer underneath and then stamped the sentiment above. Pretty CAS!

I hope that you will check out the rest of the Design Team and then get busy on the challenge. I'm looking forward to all your pretty cards!

Online Stenciled Class Day #3 and 2 Challenges

One of the challenges on day 3 of the Stenciled Online Card Class was to add color to embossing paste.  I'm using light weight spackling paste and I added 1 drop of Regal Rose (SU) reinker to a blob of paste. It gave me a nice pale pink color. I spread that over the SSS Peppermint Stripes stencil.  I cut my tag from some vellum that I had and ran it through my Big Shot using the Dots Cuttlebug folder.  For my main image I stamped it once in Smokey Shadow ink and cut it out with a circle Nestability. I stamped it a second time in Regal Rose ink and cut out the heart by hand. I die cut a double ended flag in Regal Rose and embossed the sentiment in white. I put it all together with dimensionals between each layer. 

This card is also for challenge #25 at CAS on Sunday to make a Valentine/Love card and the new Card Concept Challenge #2 to add texture on your card. I've used embossing paste in my Clean & Layered style card.

 

I'm having fun using my stencils in new ways. Thanks for stopping by today!
