G'day all,
Hope your weekend is going well. I'm trying to get back into CAS mode and feel as though I'm failing miserably! Of course it doesn't help that it's for Less is More's one layer challenge using stencils - I always find one layer cards difficult and I also struggle with stencils! I was lucky enough to win 2 of SarahG's stencils over at Funky Fossil so hopefully I'll improve when I get to use them!
I masked the card off with some washi tape then blended some distress inks through a lattice stencil. The sentiment is from PTI and I've added a teeny, tiny stamped heart for the dot on the 'i' with some glossy accents to make it shine.
I stuck to the lower third of the card face so I'm also popping it over to AAA's challenge - to only use one third.
Happy stamping!

Super design, use of stencil and colour

well you rocked both one layer and stencils. I just got some from Sarah and they are fab. I have the honeycomb one and have been playing with it but need to try out a few more times! I used the lips one the other day and love it. This card is fab x
ReplyDeleteOh I LOVE your card!! You totally rocked both these challenges!
ReplyDeleteFor someone who struggles with stencils you've done a brilliant job here! I am happy doing one layer - until I come to stamp a sentiment - it usually ends up wonky - even with the Misti!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure it is a Dreaded One Layer for you, Claire...your card is gorgeous and you perfectly answered the challenge with your CAS design and your beautiful stencilling ! I'm sure you will enjoy playing with Sarah's stencils, they are gorgeous ! Thanks so much for sharing and for playing along at Less is More.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I didn’t even realise it was a stencil until I read your post, so crisp and clean. And your one third element is so cool, totally fabulous! Thanks for playing along with the AAA Cards Challenge.
ReplyDeleteClaire, this is a wonderful card! You did a great blending from green to red. A tiny hear-shaped dot caught my eyes! Thank you so much for sharing your card with us at AAA Cards Challenge. - Sweet Kobylkin

Nope, not failing miserably at all, Claire ... this is CAS perfection! Beautifully blended, crisply stamped, and perfectly embellished with that glossy heart ... delicious! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteA yummy mix of colours, classy design and you wouldn't believe you dread the One layers! All that white space is just perfect. Thanks for joining us at Less is More Claire. x
