Already time for the STAMPlorations CAS Card Challenge AG: optional color twist
Coral Pink. Beautiful colors to create Spring designs or Anything you desire.
You will love the inspiring CAS Cards by our talented design team.
Life in Full Color stamp set.
I used TH blending tools to sponge with Distress Oxide inks on A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2")
Strathmore Mixed Media paper.
DOX Colors used: Cracked Pistachio, Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral,
Wilted Violet and Fossilized Amber.
Then die cut sponged background with Bloomtangled #1 Color Plate.
Removed Color Plate carefully and added scotch tape to the back
replacing the few pieces that fell out. The sticky tape secured the pieces.
Attached white cardstock to the back with double stick tape for more security.
Then die cut the one A2 image with the 2nd largest "Crazy Double Running
Stitch Rectangle Nesting Die". Next die cut the remainder of the A2 image with the
same size die. So ended up with Two backgrounds for cards:-)
Added a narrow black CS frame and popped up on the die cut card front using fun foam
turning the image vertically.
Stamped and heat embossed the "Life in Full Color" sentiment and Done!
Sharing photo of both die cut images before made into cards.
Now you can see how I turned the image on my 1st card.
My 2nd card using the bottom half of the Cover Plate image.
I used the same STAMPloration Dies and stamp set.
Added a SU Calypso Coral frame and designed a Horizontal Card.
I loved playing with the coral pink colors and gorgeous Bloomtangled #1 Cover Plate.
Enjoy and hope you get to play along with this month at STAMPlortions CAS Challenge..
