The talented Design Team is looking forward to Inspiring all our followers with CAS Card Designs!

Please remember to make your Cards CAS Anything Goes 

with Optional Color Twist: Burgundy.

Happy Birthday and Brave One

ATC Tag Builder Die and Birthday Word Die

Crazy Double Running Stitch Nesting Die

A fun STAMPlorations CAS Card Design using Six products...how fun is that?

I wanted to use the CAS Anything Goes Challenge with the optional

color twist: Burgundy,  but did not have any burgundy inks so....I mixed my own

with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors.

I Googled Burgundy and got ideas for color wheel mixing to get a shade of Burgundy.

I used #34 Dark Pink, #36 Red Wine, #37 Deep Pink and #139 Purple for Burgundy.

Used my T.H. Glass Craft Mat and wet flat paint brush to spread my watercolors onto mat.

Painted all 4 colors onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

The bottom color was a mixture of #37 and #139 for my shade of burgundy.

When dry I die cut with ATC Tag Builder Die, which left a few scraps.

Next heat embossed the happy from the Happy Birthday stamp set.

Next die cut the Birthday Word Die from a piece of leftover paper that had been painted

with the #34 Dark Pink.  Die cut another Birthday using SU Basic Black CS and stacked both using SU Fine Tip Glue Pen.

My image looked too flat and unfinished,  so I stamped the sweet Brave One butterflies on

another small scrap using Versafine Black ink and fussy cut.  Stamped the flowers from the same set and ink onto a scrap of MM paper and cut off one flower and fussy cut.

Then colored the flower with a Zig marker.

Popped up all 3 small embellishments and added small rhinestone from my stash to flower.

Next Die cut Whisper White layer for a simple border and popped up main image

with fun foam.  Attached to SU Whisper White Card Base and Done!

 I managed to keep my design CAS even with using so many STAMPloration products:-)
