Group of Seven Cardmakers - Torn edge

Hi everyone the Group of Seven are using a little torn edge for this months technique/design element.

There are a few videos to give you ideas on how to use your torn edges and I hope you give this technique a try with us.

Card #1 is a scrap from my stash with and embossed background. I tore the card stock and and rubbed some black and brown inks over the edge to simulate burned paper.

Stamp used - Nellie Snellen Robin on a Berry Branch

Stencil - Lavinia

Embossing folder - Carabelle Studio (no longer in business)

Card # 2 is torn masking tape adhered to the card and distress inks blending between. This technique can be combined with stencils or stamps. I always love to use silhouette images with this technique.

Stamps Used - Magenta (14.634.O)

Card # 3 torn paper to create hills. I kept the colours quite pale but if you look carefully you will see lots of little snow drifts between the house and the trees.

Stamps used - Card-io Pine Panorama

Well Christmas is just around the corner.

We're just a few weeks away from Christmas and here at CAS Christmas card challenge it's the last challenge of  2018.  We know everyone including the Design Team are busy at this time of the year the challenge will end on the 15th of December.

Trina is our host for this month's challenge  and our Guest Designer is Cindy (Escape to Stamping),  We can't wait to see all the sparkle and shine of those wonderful star cards.

For my card I die cut a postage stamp shape, masked the edges and used distress ink (stormy sky) to blend the central space. I used Distress oxide ink(old paper) on the background stamp (a Crafty individuals stamp) and then stamped a star from this JOFY set. I re-stamped the star used pencils and gamsol to colour and then fussy cut the image. 

I was looking for soft colours for the background so I used muted blues and greens.

Have a great Christmas everyone

November CAS Mix up Stamping masking and your choice

CAS Mix Up this month is Stamping Masking and your Choice, my choice is glass beads.

I used a Stamplorations stencil as a mask, sponged ranger inks over the stencil and then used glass beads by Liquitex over the stencil.  One thing to remember is to clean your stencil between sponging and using any mixed media gel, if you don't the gel will become contaminated with the colours you used.  I love the sparkle the glass beads give, they are one of my favorite mediums.
