Hi there, blog friends ~
This post is the first of 2 for today...for my Addicted to CAS Challenge post, please go HERE.
My first card is for this week's challenge at CASology, and the theme is 'Insect'.
I stamped the sentiment and butterfly with Versafine and blended oxide inks to add color. The flourish was stamped with Grout Gray ink...a few clear sparkly sequins, and that was it!
***********************
My 2nd card is for the June Challenge at CAS Mix Up.
To meet the parameters of this challenge, I was so excited because I would get to use my Glass Bead Glitter Gel ~ It's so sparkly in person! I added a few drops of Salty Ocean DI to the gel to brighten the card and used Copic markers for the little girl (MFT stamp set - retired). I also added glossy accents to the apple for shine...and that was it!
For the challenge guidelines:
- Stamping - images and sentiment
- Glass Bead Gitter Gel
- My choice: Copic coloring
Butterflies are my favorite insect, too! Love the DO ink colors you used on your butterfly--such a pretty CAS card, Barb!
