Time already for STAMPlorations March CAS Card Challenge Anything Goes:
Optional Color Twist: Lilac.
Here is my card using
Lilac is a beautiful color for late Spring, Early Summer.
I cut an A2 size card front from SU Crumb Cake CS to start my card.
Then die cut with CUTplorations Crazy Double Stitch Rectangle
Nesting Dies.
I always love seeing how Crumb Cake or Kraft CS will change the original ink colors.
I sponged the Distress Oxide Seedless Preserves onto the CS using
T.H. Mini Blending Tool. The tone was just a bit muted.
Then placed ARTplorations Fairy Tale Forest Stencil over sponged card front securing with
masking tape. Next used blending tool to add the DOX Lilac ink.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how well the lilac showed over the Seedless Preserves.
When dry I stamped sentiment and coffee cup image from Coffee for All Seasons
in MISTI. Heat embossed and watercolored cup and saucer with DOX inks.
Attached to Crumb Cake card base and done!
A quick CAS card design that I really liked:-)

Just the other day I told Tom I wanted arms-full of lilacs, Nancy! YOur beautiful card makes me want them even more!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful!
wow Nancy I love your soft colours, they are so beautiful and the stencil just pops off the card :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Nancy! I love how the colours you've used look with the kraft card base. Very unique and beautiful mix of colours! xx
ReplyDeleteThe lilac is so beautiful - a feast for the eyes!
ReplyDeleteI would never think to sponge on kraft and love the effect! Thank you again for the inspiration. You make me want to run to the craft room to try this,. Beautiful effect with your Oxides!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's my computer, Nancy, but the lilac glows on this card. I had to catch my breath when I saw it. What a beautiful blend of inks and great background. I now have to blend oxides on kraft. Thanks for the idea.
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic stencil, Nancy! I love how the lilac ink shines almost like there's a light behind it! Great technique!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bonnie, I loved the lilac shine/glow too:-) Hugs..
DeleteThat's interesting! I never thought of using my inks on kraft, but I'll definitely put it on my to do list. Love how the Lilac ink showed up. Cute stamps, too!
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few cards in blogland using kraft and Distress Oxides and had to try it. I loved the results. Thanks for your comment, Leslie. Hugs..Nancy
DeleteBeautiful card, Nancy, DOx inks on Kraft gives such a unique look. Fabulous stencilling. So glad I chose this stencil. You’ve made some very inspiring cards with it. xx
DeleteWhat a great idea to sponge DOX ink on Kraft cardstock, Nancy! You're always inspiring! I'd love to try this. I love the beautiful stenciling with gorgeous Lilac ink!
ReplyDeleteColoring the coffee cup and saucer with matching colors is a really nice touch.
