Time for the CAS Mix Up Watercolor Challenge: Off the Edge.. hosted by the
very talented, Bonnie. We are very happy to have the awesome CAS designer,
Michele as our Guest Designer this month.
You are going to be so inspired by our CAS Mix Up Design Team too!
Here is my Off the Edge card..Enjoy
This is a card I made recently for a dear friend, who has been on my mind!
It seems we all need thinking of you cards often this year.
I was so pleased to use Bonnie's CAS Mix Up "Off the Edge (W)" Challenge.
I used SU "Forever Fern" stamp set to stamp off the edge of SU 100# CS.
I used Distress Oxide Inks: Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, and
Abandoned Coral. I love Fall colors.
I used my MISTI to ink, spritz with water and then stamp the ferns onto
the 100# cardstock and then moved the ink around with a water brush.
Let each leaf image dry completely before stamping a new leaf image.
Then stamped STAMPlorations "Trendy Feathers" sentiment in MISTI using
Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and then heat embossed with SU
Clear EB Powder.
Next I die cut card front with Reverse Confetti, "Lacy Scallop Frame" Confetti
Die. Then I used the splatter stamp from the "Forever Fern" stamp set
to add splatters with the DOX inks I had used on the leaves.
Attached cardfront to the SU 100# card base and Done!
I was very happy with the Fall colored Off the Edge results.
We would love if you joined us.
You still have until the 24th to play along. Love and Hugs..
Supplies:
Stamps: SU Forever Ferns, STAMPlorations Trendy Feathers..sentiment.
Paper: SU Whisper White 100#
Inks: Distress Oxides: Fossilized Amber, Spiced Marmalade, and Abandoned Coral.

Wonderful colours and really great use of the splatters to add interest in the white space without subtracting from those gorgeous ferns. Love that frame die too xx
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Nancy which will be much appreciated I am sure. It's always nice to know you are in someone's thoughts and this is the perfect way to show it. Beautiful
ReplyDeleteOh, my! I bought this set and haven't used it yet. Now you've got me all excited about it again. It's so pretty with the inking you did, and I love these colors in particular. I forgot there's a splatter stamp in the set, sheesh. Love the sentiment with it. Your card is going to be very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThese leaves are so pretty, Nancy! I love these colors and how you've repeated them with the splatters! A perfect card to let someone know they are being thought of!
ReplyDeleteThere it is. that stamp I've been coveting for the entire year, it feels! SU can't keep it in stock, I'll bet!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy for giving me this visual treat today... you've beautifully stamped it! I must make note of this ink combination! xo
