Keeping it CAS

Hello,

A couple of CAS cards here - the first one is for Less is More using the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches. The theme is 'curve' and as usual I messed up my one layer card - I managed to mask the perfect curved line of Altenew's Painted Roses, then tried to curve the sentiment underneath and lined it up really badly. So I ended up die cutting the wavy line to cut off the sentiment, then put it back together again. I'm assume this still counts as a one layer! The sentiment is CAS-ual Fridays.











The cue word over at Casology is 'strong' so I stamped a WMS anchor on top of a Zig Colour background. I thought I'd see how the Zigs worked on smooth cardstock instead of watercolour paper - they worked but the colours aren't as vibrant due to the water pooling on top of the paper. I still like the softer effect though!

Not the best photos unfortunately as I'm not at home for Easter so I've had to take them on my I-phone. I'll maybe improve them once I'm back in Sydney.

Have a great Easter - hope you get some time to get inky!

Claire

  4. Beautiful cards. Your flower card is so dreamy Claire and it certainly does count as one layer if it is put back together so that it is just lined. Beautiful colour pallette and I think the sentiment probably looks better straight like that. Thanks so much for sharing this with us at Less is More xx

  5. I like both of these and especially the first. I love how you used the image over and over again and your colors. The curve just really does it for me, too. Need to get one of those dies... TFS!!
