CAS3 Day 7 last card - simple copic colouring

Today's "Copic Card"

Another card from CAS 3 day 7, we were to use just our copics, without a stamp, and colour a simple image and I choose some flowers and leaves. I'm not too sure about this technique. I do like the scored edges on this card, but I think I prefer cards without ink flicks! Also the inkadinkado "thanks" stamp really didn't do a good job, I'm not too sure if other people have issues with their stamps but it wasn't a clean image no matter what ink I tried! Oh well, it is all in fun and learning and trying!

Stencil Stamping & Colouring

Today's "CAS Card"

Hey here is CAS card from day 7 of CAS 3. For this card I stamped the whole image using a sand coloured ink. Then I traced some of the image with a black pen and then coloured in the part I stencilled in with copics. I added some wink of stella glitter pan on the flowers but it is hard to tell again from the pictures. I did some small ink spatters on the card just to add a bit more to this card. Lastly I stamped the forever gratitude as my final step in this unique thank you card! I love the look, it is quite nice.

Masked flower fun

Today's "CAS Card"

Hey here is another card from day 7 of CAS 3. I masked this square and then stamped going outward using the paper smooches botanicals 2 stamp set. I did some layers on the leaves. I used distressed inks and used my water brush to smooth the stamped images a bit and to add some watercolour look. I then took the mask off and stamped the "thinking of you." I added some wink of stella glitter onto the flowers, but you can't tell from the picture. I really like this card!

Die cuts & copics

Today's "CAS Card"

Hey! For today I did up some cards for my CAS-3 class. For today's card I used the Simon Says doily heart to cut out the heart die, then I also cut out another simon heart set die and this is the white heart in the centre. I also used this Simon's mini love you die and cut out the pieces. I then took a piece of vellum and coloured on it with my copics. I attached the vellum to the inside of the heart and then I started to layer my white pieces back into the card in the "love you" and I attached the heart. I adhered a white piece of paper on the idea of the card and added these little bling swirls to finish up the card. What a fun technique!

Last Day 5-6 CAS3 Card - LOVE IT

Today's "CAS Card"

Hey, well out of all the cards I made today for class, this is my favourite. Maybe because it it so clean looking but also because you can do so much. You needed to place a die cut and then stamp around and over it. Try to make it look like graffiti! I tried to keep it more "blue'ie" and I like that. I can see doing this more often, plus it was fun.

Plaid no stamping, just masking

Today's "CAS Card"

Hey, well here is another CAS-3 card I made up. I had so much fun doing this technique. I took masking paper and masked off areas and then inked stripes and kept doing it until I had plaid. It was a lot of fun. I think it is very pretty. This I find so feminine and girlie, I just love these colours! To finish off this card I found these wonderful words from this Maya Road stamp set and stamped it off with some Onyx black ink. I love the boldness of these stamps. I just love this technique, however I think it would be nice to no do the entire card, but to have this as "part of the card" in the future. …did I mention how much fun this was to do!

Day 5-6 CAS-3 Masking and embossing

Today's "CAS Card"

Hey, well love this technique where you mask off parts of your black card base. Then you emboss the areas or squares left! I then embossed the sentiment just to add a little something extra to this card. I love the various glitter/embossing powder. I love this shabby chic embossing powder from stampendous. The only thing is that the powder bag left a little white residue on the card, but I find the inkadinkado one works better than the EK success one I have.

Optical Illusion - Butterflies so close

Today's "CAS Card"

Hey everyone. Another CAS-3 one layer card here. So I masked off the square area. I then took this Tim Holtz buildings stamp and stamped it on the edge of the mask. I then stamped a building mask to go over top of the buildings for part 2. For part 2 I placed the building's mask and placed it over the place I stamped the buildings. I then took and inked around the buildings with chipped sapphire, faded jeans, and broken china. I took my water brush to move the colour around a bit and I like that effect. Lastly I stamped these butterflies and the "enjoy the journey" with versa mark and then embossed it with this bronze embossing powder. I was supposed to be going for a optical illusion with the butterflies close and the buildings in the background and I think it turned out!

Masked, stenciled, and inked

Today's "CAS Card"

Hey everyone. Another CAS-3 one layer card here. I took a spellbinders die and then cut out a mask. I then cut another oval inside mask out too. I then placed my masks onto my card front and then layer a MFT honeycomb stencil down. I used some Tim Holtz ink and first the the pink side and then the blue side. I masked off the stripes at the top and then inked across. Lastly I used this paper smooches stamp (hello) and stamped it. I then took some of the Tim Holtz ink and put some on my craft mat. I then took a water brush and coloured in the "hello". I like the colours in this card and the fun of the colouring. I like the masked technique as well as the stencil!

Cas-3 Day 4 Layered stamps

Today's "CAS Card"

Hey everyone. Just a few posts today for cards I completed in the CAS-3 class. This card I used this wonderful background stamp in this sand colour. I then stamped a variety of flower stamps in different colours and sizes around the card. I lastly took this recollections "peace" stamp and stamped it in black for the sentiment. Something different for me, but it was fun to try to do!
