CAS Merry and Bright


Hello and welcome!  I hope you are having a great weekend!

I had a little time to play in the cave today, but first I went to a craft fair.  It never ceases to amaze me how clever and creative people are.  I saw some very unique things made with recycled jewelry and old books - just very inspiring!  And I was able to get a little Christmas shopping done too!

Now on to my card:  I started with a piece of Tim Holtz watercolor paper and watercolored it with Distress Inks in greens and reds, then I splattered a lot of black paint on it.  After it dried I stamped an older large plaid background stamp from Hero Arts in black ink on the watercolored panel.  Next I die cut a white panel with MFT's Stitched Rectangle die and Poppy Stamps "Leaf Collage" die. I put that over pieces of the watercolored panel to show through the leaves and stems.  Then I stamped the sentiment from MFT's Hand Lettered Holiday in Fired Brick Distress ink.  I took another panel and cut it down by 1/8 inch and inked the edges in red to match, then put the two panels together on the Gina K Designs heavy weight card base.  Lastly I added Gelly Roll glitter pen to the inside of the stems and leaves and added some Nuvo Jewel Drops.

It's hard to get a good picture of the glitter in the leaves, but you can see a little in this photo:


I will enter this in:
(I used stamping, glitter, watercoloring, die cutting, splatter, and Nuvo drops)

    I love the way you layer your die cuts. You do it often and it's always so effective. This is no exception, this card is beautiful in it's simplicity, and your background panel is perfect.

    This is a stunning card! I had to scoot closer and closer to the screen to see how you'd pulled off that gorgeous layering! What a remarkable concept for a card. I admire the heck out of anyone who can make "simple" look amazing. I throw everything but the kitchen sink into my projects, so I bow to the gorgeousness of this clean and lovely card! Thank you for sharing your skills with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
