Fruity

Hi!  I'm here with a card for the latest Fusion challenge where I combined both the sketch and photo to come up with this card.

I lightly sponged some distress ink onto a white panel and arranged my stamped and die-cut fruit onto the panel.  The sentiment was white embossed onto black and adhered to a white crd base.  I then arranged some purple cardsock and B&W striped paper to match the sketch.  Finally I adhered the top panel using foam tape.

Thanks for visiting!  I hope you'll check out the fabulous cards made by the rest of the DT.

Berry Birthday

Hi and welcome!  I spent some time in my craft room yesterday making a couple of cards for some challenges and this is the first one.

When I saw the Addicted to CAS challenge pop up last week, I immediately thought of this NBUS stamp set from Sunny Studio.  It took me a week to get to it, but I finally put ink to paper and came up with this card.  I was also inspired by the current CAS(E) This Sketch challenge plus I'm linking up to Seize The Birthday.

I did some experimenting with colors for each of the layers for the berries, mixing my brands to get the best looks.

The strawberry was stamped directly onto the card base.  To get the achenes to show (the seeds), I stamped first with white pigment ink, then went over the top with Sunshine ink from SSS.  The other berries were stamped with purple inks and fussy cut.  One was popped up on foam tape and both were coated with Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

I wanted a big sentiment, but not too big, so went looking through my stash and found this one from PTI.

Thanks for visiting.
