CAS





Still playing with my stamp platform and trying to crack the CAS style cards...

For the first card I stamped directly onto my card blank and then practiced stamping the sentiment inside the hearts.  I then heat embossed my images.  Not sure I like the composition of this one.  I think it would look better if the images were a bit more random and mat and layered, maybe even decoupaged for depth.

For my second card I mat and layered my base card.  This time I wanted to practice overlaying my stamps so used these gorgeous splatter stamps from Honey Doo.  I used watercolour card and distress ink pads so that hopefully, they would blend where they overlapped.  The magazine freebie sentiment was heat embossed.  I think this one looks better as the matting and layering adds a frame around the design and makes it stand out more.

Anyway, as said in the previous post, warts and all, I shall show my efforts...

These are both super, I love the bottom one. It looks amazing. I am about to get a stamping platform. Im finding it hard to hold the acrylic blocks I have as they are quite thin so thought I would go for a platform too, HAzel x
