This week's cue word on the CASology challenge is POND.
I had so much fun making this card....perhaps a little *too* much fun! I think I may have over-stepped the Clean And Simple definition a bit.
Oh well. =D
To make this card, I used pretty much every Tim Holtz Distress Ink color ever.
OK, not really. But close.
Very close.
I started by inking up the pond, then I stamped the cattails. I used a punched out circle to make funky, stylized clouds, using the negative of the circle to make the sun.
I stamped the frog on some left over cardstock, then fussy cut him out, adding a bit of ink to give him some color. Then I popped him up so he wouldn't get lost in the cattails!
I attached the panel to a white card blank.
I hope I don't get fussed at too much on this one for not being really CAS...maybe just frowned at, eh? ;-)
Supplies:
Paper: Recollections (white card blank and parts of a card blank)
Stamps: Hero Arts (Nature set--frog); Stampscapes (Cattails)
Inks: Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn, Squeezed Lemon, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans); Distress Marker (Aged Mahogany)
ETC: Glue Glider Pro; EK Success (Pop Dots)
And that's it for me today. I went hiking this morning, and while I was gone my To Do list somehow GREW! ;-) Better get to it! Thanks so much for stopping in today!
