my piece of paper

Hello!

For the third stage of the CASometry Challenge 3, randomizer, hosted by lovely Anna, I made this card...

The challenge for this week is to pick 1 random stamp set + embossing.

I picked the stamp set "Woodland Wonders" from Avery Elle, and decided to work with the trees and the owl for this challenge.

I stamped the owl and the trees and heat embossed them, using gold embossing powder. My idea for this card was to get a soft,golden tone as I colored the images using different soft brown Copic markers.

At first glance, looking at this card it can be hard to see it the actual embossing, but when tilting it a bit, the golden outlines shows perfectly.  

I finished the card by adding a banner (from the same stamp set) with a sending hugs sentiment, also gold embossed, colored with Copic markers!

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

Hello!

This is my entry for stage 2 of the CASometry Challenge 3, Randomizer, hosted by lovely Anna!
The challenge for this week is to pick 1 random stamp set + using one stamp minimum of 3 times!

I picked the stamp set "Cool Cat" by Birdie Brown and My Favorite Things, for this week´s challenge. I choose my favorite kitten and stamped (and masked!) him five times, to get a small gang of kittens! I colored them with Copic markers.

This is actually pretty funny, as Anna´s previous CAsometry Challenge last year was all about clean and simple, I have to admit I often struggle with keeping my cards clean, simple, one layered and so on, as I feel something is missing and they don´t seem finished to me if I don´t add layers, a flower here and there, sequins etc. I guess I am not the only one, as for this challenge she pointed out "no strong style rules this time - for many of us it´s hard to make clear CAS cards. Just make what you like". And now I have managed to make the most clean & simple cards I have ever made for both stage one and two! 

Thank you for stopping by, have a lovely Sunday!

Hello!

This is my entry for the CASometry challenge 3, randomizer, stage 1. I have been waiting for this particular challenge, hosted by the lovely Anna!

Some of the simple rules of CASometry Challenge 3. Randomizer:

1. Pick a new random stamp set for every new task!
2. This stamp should be the main focus of your card. But you can add any other supplies of your choice. They of course can be different from one stage to another.
3. There will be five stages — four regular and one Secret Super-Final. Every stage will last one week. New stage will start every Thursday 7 am (Moscow time!) and inLinkz will be closed 5 minutes before the next stage starts.
4. Every time will be another small additional task for every stage.
5. No any other rules! No strong style rules this time — for many of us it’s hard to make clear CAS cards. Just make what you like.

This week´s theme is 1 random stamp set + any geometry shape

For stage/week 1 of this challenge I picked the "Tickle my Fancy" stamp set from Clearly Besotted. I love these gorgeous feathers. I inked them up with Distress Inks, Evergreen Bough, Hickory Smoke and Black Soot. For the geometry shape I chose a square shape. I just lightly inked the edges of my square with a mini ink blending tool, to get a soft and smooth edge. 

The sentiment stamp is also from the same stamp set. 

Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

Hello!

This is my first try using my new pillow box die from Lawn Fawn! This pillow box is the perfect size to fit a gift card! And so easy to use, run it through a die cutting machine and just fold and glue together.

I have used the Penny Black stamp "From the Folks" and just cut out the chickens.

I made the signage after watching Sandy Allnocks´ video about creating different kinds of signage, I can´t wait to try her other signage ideas!
This was super easy to make and so much fun!

The sky and the grass was made using Distress inks, Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass.

The images was colored with Copic Markers.

Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

Hello!

This is a custom order wedding card, and as always with special orders it makes me think outside the box.

There were a few requests, the front of the card in colors greeen & white, this particular stamp (purchased long ago and sorry but I don´t remenber the brand). Green, red and white hearts.
To make the inside of the card with yellow and black details.

As I was not going to use any patterned paper on this card, I instead used the "Geometric Grid" stencil from My Favorite Things to create some interesting details using distress ink in color Moved lawn.

The punched white flowers with green brads in their centers also added interest to this otherwise clean and simple one layer card. I always assemble the punched flowers with two sets of petals for some dimension. Some Glossy Accents were added to the small hearts!

The image was colored with Copic markers.

Thanks for visiting, have a great day!

 Hello!
I´m sharing a super easy and quick to make, CAS card today.

I started out by stamping the message on the center of the cardstock, using sentiments from the "Many everyday messages" set from Hero Arts. 

I then stamped the different kinds of pandas from the "Furry Panda" set from Paperie Ink, placing the stamps randomly in different directions. I finished it of with stamping small hearts here and there! I colored the pandas along the edges with Copic markers C1 and C2, just to get some shading, pale blue eyes and red hearts. A mat of red card stock framed the stamped images, which then was attached to a white card base!  

Thanks for stopping by, have a great day!
