{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!

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 208 - Journey

Take a look at my card:

Journey (CAS)

This week I’m using Rubber Dance Stamps African Animals – the elephant is perfect for this cue card!!

Think about the long journey they take to move with the seasons!! Elephants are the largest mammals on earth!! They can travel 50 miles in one day! That is a long journey!!

I love this elephant stamp set. The elephant looks so peaceful, so life like!! I left him uncolored because the black and white looks so elegant.

To capture his essence, I used some Mama Elephant sentiments from the Sightseeing stamp set.

I made two more cards for you:

Journey 2 (CAS)

Nice, simple and CAS!

{Clean and Simple} CASology 207 – Rough

Posted in CASology Challenge, July 2016 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 207 - Rough

Take a look at my card:

Life story (CAS)

This week’s cue card is Rough!! I have to admit I was having a hard time with this word. How do I make a card that is CAS but still rough. I decided to use an embellishment as my focal point.

So what does my card say about the cue card? Well, the circles were created with Peony Pink Nuvo Mousse and Clarity Stencil Jo’s Bubbles I purposely created the circle rough, so that you can see the cue card for yourself. Then I wonder what sentiment should I use with these rough circles.

I decided to go with Papertrey Ink’s Wet Paint II to stamp the Life story because life can be rough at times. Its someone’s story. At times its mine!!

Creating this card was simple:

I spread the mousse over the circle stencil roughly so that some portions of the circles wouldn’t be smooth.

Then I stamped the sentiment using the Mini Misti.

Nice, simple and still CAS!

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

Posted in CASology Challenge, July 2016 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 206 - Art

Take a look at my card:

Follow Your Art (CAS)

I’m participating in Kathy’s coloring challenge but this time I’m playing with colors not just coloring. I want to really learn how colors work so I will work with watercolors for much of the time to see how different colors react with one another.

This cue card is perfect for that! I’m working with Rubber Dance Stamps who happens to be our sponsor this week!!

The stamp set that I’m using is called Artist Plate! Its perfect for this week’s cue card!

I stamped the set of paintbrushes using Colorbox Archival Wicked Black Ink and the sentiment using Clearsnap Colorbox Bluebells.

I used Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor to add color to paintbrushes. I used Scarlet Lake, Cadmium Orange, Cadmium Yellow, Sap Green, and French Ultramarine.

Super simple and easy.

I made more then one card.

Follow Your Art

Nice and easy!

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 205 - Chevron

Take a look at my card:

Love Ya(CAS)

I’ve been on a stencil kick for the past two weeks. Its just so easy to use.

I used Simon Says Stamp Zig Zap stencil paired with Clearsnap Colorbox Fun Ink and a dauber to create the design on the top and bottom of this card.

Then I covered the stenciled portion of the card with Clearsnap clear embossing powder.

After that, I used Lawn Fawn Big Scripty Words to stamp the sentiment in the middle of the card using Versafine Ink.

Nice and easy!

Take a look at my card:

PicTapGo-Image (24)

What an easy cue card this week. My new stamps from Papier Projekt arrived just in time for this challenge. I fell in love the feather border die stamp and thought this set was perfect for this challenge.

To create this card:

I cut the cardstock down smaller then a A2 size card.
Then I stamped the feather stamp four times starting with the darkest color Colorbox Envy Pigment ink to the lightest Colorbox Envy Pigment ink.
After that I stamped the sentiment from the With Love stamp set using the darkest blue ink.

Perfect, right?

Nice and easy!

Posted in CASology Challenge, June 2016 by Kreative Kymona

Happy Saturday everyone!! I’m super excited today!! My first born is graduating from high school today!! I’m super excited and overcome with emotion. I feel happy, excited, sad, scare and curiosity all at the same time. I knew this day would come but it sure seems like it came so super fast. Just yesterday he was walking with me to my college classes. Now he will be off to his own college. Totally a full circle moment for me. I love him with all my heart and soul!! I know that he will do well on this new journey in his life. I hope he loves college as much as I did!!

Kymona2

CONGRATULATIONS E!!

Sticking to the CASology challenge, I created a fun card for my son to let him know that he made it and this is just the beginning!!

Take a look at my card:

Hooray (CAS)

I’m having fun with this cue card this week. I’m not sure if you know, I love owls. My favorite one is the white owl from Harry Potter. I wish I could have one. My daughter said she would buy one for me some day. Yes!!

For this card, I used Gerda Steiner Designs Graduation Owl. Its a free digital stamp from her store. Super cute and fun to color!!

I downloaded the image and used photoshop to place him on my cardstock.
I printed the image onto the heavyweight cardstock, cut and scored to create a top folding card.
I used Copic markers to color him in: Body: E31, E35,E37, White Gel Pen Stomach:R20, W0, W1, White Gel Pen Nose: 100 Eyes: BG0000 Cap: N5, Clear Wink of Stella
Then I stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink Lunch Box Notes using Versafine Black Ink.
I used the Envelope Punch Board to round the corners.

Nice, Easy, Clean and Simple!

I’m playing along with Gerda Steiner’s Share Your Design Challenge!

Take a look at my card:

Congratulation ink splatters

I plan on having fun with this cue card this week. My son’s big day is this Saturday and he has inspired me! He is such a great son. He has stayed focused to the very end. Good grades and dominate in all the sports he played. He walks away from high school as an All County Football Player, an All County Lacrosse Player and an All Conference Basketball Player.

INSPIRING right!!

I used STAMPlorations Art Marks Stamp Set, who happens to be our sponsor this week, to create this card.

Here’s how:

I stamp the different ink splatters and the stars with Versafine ink.
Then I stamped the sentiment using So Suzy Stamp Plum Passion Ink Bite.

Nice and easy!

{Clean and Simple } CASology 202 – Masculine

Posted in Blog Challenge, CASology Challenge, June 2016 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:

Take a look at my card:

Happy Father's Day (CAS)

This card could be more easier to make!! Truly it only required one stamp sentiment, a die and a scrap piece of paper.

I simply used Lil’inker Designs Dad Die cut to cut a scrap piece of pattern paper three times.

I glued the three pieces together with glue and adhered it to the white cardstock.

Then I used my Mini Misti to stamp the Simon Says Stamp Dude sentiment using Versafine ink.

Super easy, clean and simple!!
