CASology Challenge - Calm


Hi there, blog friends! I'm back to share a card I created for the current challenge at CASology. While rummaging through my stash for the cue 'Calm', I came across this stencil and thought it would work well...when I'm stressed, I love a hot bath and a cup of tea...Yes!


I thought it would be fun to ink the stencil with DOX inks in rainbow order, and although it's hard to see on screen, I spritzed the steam with Sheer Shimmer Spray. By the way, I am LOVING the new Life Changing Brushes...they're a great investment :) I added a simple sentiment and black border, and that was it! 

Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps: PTI - Keep It Simple: Just Because
Stencil: ARTplorations - Coffee Cup
Misc: Tim Holtz - Distress Oxide Inks

FAB U LOUS! Just the perfect idea of calm, Barb... I do love a tub-time - candles and wine are good with that, too!

It's soooo perfect for this cue of 'Calm' Barb. A nice cup of tea is always calming in my book.

Perfect for the Calm cue word, Barb. I love this stencil and how you've used the colours of the rainbow. So happy! I'm with you ... tea is my choice when I'm stressed and need calm. Ahhhhhh! xx
