My sister-in-law, who is from South Carolina, just left today after a week's visit. What a great time for reuniting with family it is always such a joy.. With that said, I was neglecting my craft 'table'... It needed to be cleaned and used again.
So off I went to clean and create and this is what I came up with for CAS(E) this sketch and colors inspired by ColourQ. As some of you might know I am a space geek. While crafting for another challenge I was listening to a space program when I looked up I saw the image of the sun and some bokeh diffused around the star.. Well that was all the inspiration I needed to come up this card.
 |
| Bokeh space image using chalk ink and stencil. The sentiment seems to correspond nicely with the bokeh. |
 |
| The ColourQ colors are very muted and subtle against the dark background that showcases the sentiment. |
Challenge entered:
I think this is the fastest card I have ever done.. It came together so quickly and easily and I couldn't believe my eyes on how well it turned out!
How to:
- Cut and scored my white CS to an A2 card size. Set aside.
- Cut black CS to 4" x 5.25"
- Stenciled circle images by sponging chalk inks and frosted white directly to the black CS.
- Stamped sentiment using VersaMark Ink then heat set in white.
- Mounted the black CS panel to card base.
That was it... In total I think it took twenty-thirty minutes from start to finish. I have been realizing that if I have a plan before working on a design it will go a lot faster then if I didn't.
Well my eyes are getting heavy and they want to go to bed.. Thank you so much for stopping by I really do appreciate it. Also, if you feel so inclined to leave a comment that would be great too. Take care all and see you next time on TheGrandStampede!
All the best,
Shawna
