Sunshine On a Cloudy Day

Hi Everyone!

Today you'll be treated to a crisp CAS card which was inspired by the sentiment I chose.


It is quick and easy to make too. I used the ARTplorations Clouds stencil for my sun and cloud. Rather than blending the ink for my cloud I dabbed it using a dried baby wipe. This gave it the textured appearance. I stamped my sentiment from the Fond Expressions 2 set and die cut the stitched square before popping it all on my base card with 3D foam.

I am entering my card at:
Addicted to Stamps and More - Anything Goes
Allsorts - Inspired by Summer
Time Out - inspired by the phrase 'friendship is golden'
CASology -  code word 'precious'
Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge - masking, I had to mask the sun and the cloud off individually before stenciling the other

That's it from me for today. Pop over to the STAMPlorations Blog for more inspiration and fun ideas. Once there you can also check out the current challenges. If you like working with a theme, sketch or CASE, you're sure to find something to play along.

I shall be back tomorrow. See you the and in the meantime ...
Have a lovely day!
hugs

  1. That is the perfect stencil for that sentiment - I was thinking about combining them, too! Like that stitched square.
