CAS(E) This Sketch # 183 - Take two


Happy weekend my lovelies!  Today, I have another card for the CAS(E) This Sketch Challenge of yesterday.  If you remember, the sketch looked like this.

As ever, photos first, details later.





First, I took a plain, white card base and a front panel in the same card-stock.  I cut the panel smaller than the card front and hand debossed the stripes across the front.

Next, I took some pre-stamped flowers and die cut vellum leaves and arranged them on the panel.  I used 'Press and Seal' to lift the arrangement, turned it over, put glue on the back of the flowers (except the top one that I wanted to foam mount), turned the 'Press and Seal' over with the arrangement in place and pressed it all down.  Then I carefully removed the 'Press and Seal' and mounted the last one on foam tape.

I finished off by cutting a sentiment from gold foil card and added sequins to match the colours in my design!

I hope you all have a truly wonderful weekend!

CAS(E) This Sketch #183


Hello lovely crafty friends.  I hope this finds you all well.  Today's post is for the CAS(E) This Sketch #183 Challenge, which is the lovely sketch below by Chrissy Larson, which looks like this.

I don't have any single bird dies, but as soon as I saw it, I thought that I could finally use a hitherto unused Spellbinders 'Bird On A Wire Die', that I have had for ages!  As usual, I will post the pictures first, and then those who are in a hurry can get off.  Then, for those who are interested I will post the supplies and details below.





First I took a plain white card base and a plain white panel and cut the panel with a stitched rectangle die.

Next, I got four different blues of Imagination Crafts 'Starlight' paints - the shimmer is incredible - and mixed a tiny drop of each with some water in a sectioned painters palette and painted the four stripes, going from lightest blue to the darkest blue and let that dry.

Whilst the paint was drying, I cut the birds and sentiment out of black card-stock.

Once my panel was dry I adhered the birds and the sentiment and stamped the hugs & kisses and called it done!
