CASology Week 211: DREAM

Welcome to Week 211 at CASology!

 

Dreams, the future and butterflies just go together, don't they? I pulled out a couple of older Hero Arts stamp sets for this card.

Masking the sentiment allowed me to stamp it with the black and aqua inks and then the butterfly is added resting on the edge. The scalloped stitched rectangle panel is popped up on the card base with foam adhesive.

CASology Week 210: DIZZY

Welcome to Week 210 at CASology!

This week's inspiration word had me a little stumped until I looked out the window of my sister's 39th floor hotel room in San Francisco followed by a walk in the hilly city. Going uphill wasn't a problem, but more than one downhill block triggered a vertigo episode. Hmmm, I had a "heights definitely make me dizzy" lightbulb moment and had this card designed in my head well before I made it back home.

The Tim Holtz sentiment is stamped in green on the Impress Seattle Skyline border die before it is popped up on an aqua base. My dear husband and I had an unwritten agreement when the kids were younger: he took them anywhere heights were involved and I crawled with them through tight places like caves and submarines. It was dad that took our daughter up to the top of the Space Needle a couple of weeks before we moved from Seattle while our son decided the gift shop was much more interesting.

How does DIZZY inspire you? For more ideas, check out the fabulous Design Team cards.

CASology Week 209: WATERCOLOR

Welcome to Week 209 at CASology!

I was excited to see WATERCOLOR as the cue word this week. I do like to use a heavy weight watercolor paper for both the panel and card base when I use watercolor paints, Distress Inks, re-inkers or Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to make a card.

An MFT Thanks die is cut from masking paper and adhered to the center of a watercolor paper panel and yellow and red Zig Clean Color markers brushed randomly over the word. An aqua brush adds water causing the colors to blend and spread further. Once the panel was dry, the die cut word was carefully lifted leaving an uncolored space in the middle of the watercoloring. The secret to clean masking is making sure the mask is fully adhered and using a minimum amount of water around the edges.
