Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!
Are you ready for this week's challenge?? On the third week of the month, I'm the hostess and we are looking for CAS. I always have a difficult time with the true CAS design of lots of white space but I've come to realized after all this time that there's a wide interpretation to CAS (Clean And Simple). So just have fun with it.
For this card, I cased this card from our wonderful DT Denise.
Do you see the similarities?? Instead of a red background, I opted for blue (as in sky). As much as I love creating winter/Christmas cards, this wasn't the right season for me, I went with BEES! And I of course change the sentiment. Here's a close up. Loving the water droplets!
Another close up shot here to show you how you can dimension to you sentiments dies: die cut them at least 3 times and stick them together. I used adhesive sheets on the back of the card stock before die cutting to make it easier to adhere.
You can also use Adhesive Foam Sheets but then you would see the white foam from the side. I'm being a little nit-picky, I know but I do like the layered card stock look better.
The product list of what I used:
- Stamp Set: Honey Bee (retired)
- Card Stock: Thick Basic White (159229), Basic Black (121045)
- Ink Pads: Memento (132708), Coastal Cabana (147097)
- Stampin' Blends: Daffodil Delight (154883), Balmy Blue (154830)
- Accessories: Blending Brush (153611), Matte Black Dots (retired), Well Written Dies (retired), Honey Bee Dies (retired), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430)
No card is complete without finishing the inside with a coordinating image and a bit of water splattered ink blending. Same goes for the envelope. Keep it simple!
Want some more inspiration?? Go check out the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog to see what the Design Team have created. Hope you play along and upload your project so that we can see what's happening in your craft space.
