Second Post for today
If your looking for the YNS Color and Sketch post, click here

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with CS Take It Make It Design Team for our CS Take It Make It: Take a Stamp Challenge for the month of July.

This month’s theme is Take a Technique: Stenciling or Masking!! That means you can use a stencil or mask somewhere on your creation with a stamped image or sentiment anywhere on your creation.

Take a look at my card:

Hello Hey You (TIMI)

Stenciling is so pretty to me. I just love how easy it is to create a super nice and simple background that looks so elegant!!

Here is how I create this card:

I place Create a Smile Boxes Stencil on top of an A2 size card and held it down with post it tape.
Then I used Distress Ink Wild Honey and Scattered Straw and applied ink using an ink blending tool.
I started in the bottom right hand corner with wild honey and move my way up the card getting lighter with scattered straw.
Then I stamped the sentiments from a retired Stampin’ Up! stamp set with Clearsnap Colorbox Archival Wicked Dye Ink.

Super simple and easy!!!

Sooooo, what do you think? Please let me know below.

Prizes:

We have two prizes to offer this month, the first is our sponsor prize. This winner will be chosen randomly from all of the entries in the challenge! The sponsor for August is: GiogioCraft!

Prize: Bundle of 4 Stencils

Our second winner is our Design Winner. This winner is chosen by our DT, who all vote for their favorite design from all of the entries. This winner will have their winning project published in Craft Stamper Magazine, they will have a GDT slot for an upcoming challenge, and will also feature in their very own Winners Profile blog post!

Now if that isn’t a reason to play along I’m not sure what is!!

I can’t wait to see what you come up with.

{Clean and Simple} CASology 209 – Watercolor

Posted in August 2016, CASology Challenge, Watercolor by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back with another Clean and Simple Cue Card just for you!!

This week’s cue card:

Week 209 - Watercolor

Take a look at my card:

Smile (CAS)

I love this weeks cue card. I love watercoloring. I get to play without worrying about messing up! Watercoloring never looks the same and that amazes me.

For this card, I stamped the feathers from Dark Room Door Feathers stamp set using Versamark ink.

Then I added Hero Arts White Embossing Powder and heat set it.

After that, I used Prima Water Soluble Oil Pastel Crayons to add color to the feathers for a watercolor resist look.

These pastels are amazing. I love the colors and the smoothness of them.

Once the watercolor dried, I used Papertrey Ink Flower Mini stamp set to stamp the smile sentiment using Clearsnap Archival Wicked Black Ink.

For an added touch, I added Clear Wink of Stella on the sentiment.

So what do you think? Will you be willing to give this a try? Let me know below. I can’t wait to see what you think and create.

Nice, simple and CAS!

What do you think? I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with a new a2z Scrapbooking Challenge. The theme this month is Color In!! So grab your Hero Arts stamps that you color in with your favorite medium and get to coloring.
