Clean and Simple Card

Hello everyone! I'm just quickly popping in to share this CAS card made for Little Tangles where the challenge is Clean and Simple. As you guys already know that I'm very fond of CAS creations but recently I have fallen for Mixed Media Layouts. Yup! Here is my first 8x8 layout made for Creative Retreat with a video! You will see more layouts in future posts.. haha!! :P

Okay! Now let's get into the details of this card! I took a standard sized white card base, created my own cloud template (you can watch my previous video here for the cloud template) and sponged it with Memento Bahamas Blue. I added tiny droplets of black paint with my paint brush. Next I stamped the bird on a piece of white card stock and water colored it with Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed Distress Inks.

Then applied a nice coat of Wink of Stella clear glitter pen, fussy cut it and adhered it on top of my card base with foam tape. Also stamped the hearts and colored them with Camlin Brush Pens, fussy cut them and adhered onto the card front. Finally stamped the sentiment and finished my card off :)

I hope you like this card. Thanks so much for stopping by. See you later! :)

A Non Traditional Holiday Card for Hero Arts Holiday Challenge | Video

Hello everyone! I LOVE Hero Arts products but I have a very few Hero Arts stamps in my stash. As soon as I saw their Holiday Cardmaking Challenge, I jumped in joy. I found the Baby Animals stamp set which is one of my absolute favorites! To create a holiday card I turned those fun banners into Holiday trees! ;)

I took a white card panel which is slightly smaller than the main card base and blended the background with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink. Next I added tiny droplets of white paint for snow! I then stamped the little cat and banners on another card stock with Archival Jet Black Ink which is a water proofed ink and water colored those images with water based markers. 

Next I fussy cut the images with scissors and adhered them onto the card panel. Finally stamped the sentiment from Everyday Sayings with Archival Jet Black Ink and finished my card off with sequins from Lucy's cards and Clear Wink of Stella Glitter pen :)

I love how this card turned out! I have also filmed a video for you from start to finish where I shared tips and techniques along the way! :)

Also entering this card for A Blog Named Hero November "Challenge" Holiday Themed .I hope you like this card and I will come up with another card design. Thank you so much for stopping by. Take care and I will see you soon! :)
