#CI86 - Colour Inkspiration Challenge

 

I was drawn to the colours for this challenge the first time I saw it posted, and then forgot about it until an entry popped up in my Facebook feed and I was inspired to select these colours to make a card for the man of the house who is having a birthday tomorrow. 

He's at home recovering from foot surgery so I thought I'd better make a bit of an effort and ended up CASEing myself. Back in June 2019 I created this card for another challenge - click here.

This time I've used a base of Coastal Cabana cardstock and sponged Pacific Point ink for my water. I've black heat embossed the image and greeting from Best Catch. The top layer is Shaded Spruce, with a Layering Oval diecut from the centre and then embossed with Old World Paper 3D folder. I've black heat embossed the fish hook and coloured with the three colours above in my Stampin' Markers. Next I've diecut the hook and two small fish with the Catch of the Day Dies. I've added the spots from Best Catch to the fish in Pacific Point ink and sponged around the edges before adhering the pieces to the card.

I love the vibrancy of these colours together! Thank you for stopping by and for allowing me to contribute to the challenge.

#CTC232 Artistic Expressions

Welcome to the new catalogue! This week the crew are CASEing from the Artistic Expressions section from pages 106-159

I've chosen the shaker card on the bottom of page 114, and CASEd the layout:

I started off with a piece of Pool Party DSP, and worked out where the oval would be placed and traced it loosely with a pencil. I've sponged the lower half with Balmy Blue and the top left with So Saffron and a tiny bit of Pumpkin Pie. I've stamped the fisherman from Best Catch with Basic Gray, and used the same ink for the greeting from Perennial Birthday.

I used a piece of Basic Gray cardstock for my top layer and embossed it with the Subtle 3D EF before adhering to the stamped piece. I've used dimensionals to add all this to my base card.  I've stamped and die cut a fish hook (Catch of the Day dies) then coloured with Stampin' Blends and glued to the bottom corner. The fish are diecut from a scrap of Blushing Bride, sponged a little with Balmy Blue and then had the markings stamped with Basic Gray.

For my little fish I masked off some of the spots before inking. Fun bringing my love of cardmaking together with my husband's love of fishing, so off to his box of pretties for my photo.
