Post 208: CAS Masculine card - Congrats (feathers)

Hi Friends :)

I've been missing in action for the past couple of days. Took a few days to relax and watch movies. I shall continue to take it easy for the next few days as well.

Today, I felt like making a CAS card so here I am sharing a masculine CAS card.

It is a side folding 5 by 7 card.
The sentiments read, "Yay!", "Congrats!", "Wishing you Happiness", "Bro".

I stamped the feathers in blue and sentiments in black (hand wrote the word, bro) and then sponged some distress oxide through a feather design stencil.

To highlight the stamped feathers, I colored them with a light grey zig markers and added few black highlights to the outline.

Then created some black splatter.

List of Supplies:

Stamplorations Stamp- Trendy Feathers 2 (Shery Russ Designs)

Stamplorations Stamp- Fond Expressions 2 (Shery Russ Designs)

Post 160: CAS Mixed Media Card: Happiness is a State of Mind

Hi Friends :)

I'd like to share a CAS Mixed Media Card today. I tried out a new technique today i.e.- "Decoupage" and I must say I enjoyed it quite a bit!

Synopsis of the Process:

The card panel is a wonky stitched rectangle die cut on which I decoupaged 3 butterflies from a napkin using mod podge gloss lustre. After that I did some ink smooshing with distress inks and water from a spray bottle. Then using archival ink stamped some flowers. For the sentiment, heat embossed it on vellum using black embossing powder and then tore the vellum to a rough rectangle shape for added interest, stuck this to the card panel with some dots of Tombow glue. Then created some black splatter with watered down black ink from a zig and then stuck the card panel to the card base. In the end, added gold colored sequins to finish off the card.

List of Supplies:

Rubber Dance Stamps- Textured Flowers and sentiment from Something Wonderful Set

Cutplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Die

Butterfly design Napkin

Mod Podge Gloss Lustre

Mini Distress Inkpads-festive berries, tattered rose, worn lipstick, fired brick, dried marigold and carved pumpkin

Water Spray Bottle

Iris Cardstock 250 gsm

Black Zig marker

Homemade emboss buddy

Ranger's Super Fine Detail Black Embossing Powder

Versamark Watermark Mini Inkpad
