It has been (too) long time since I posted here. I've been very busy at work, an it kept me away from my crafting table.
But, here I'm again, with a CAS card for two challenges:
I used the colors from this week's challenge at The Color Throwdown #707, where Lori gave us a beautiful colors to work with - navy blue, turqouise and mustrad:
I recently came across a lovely technique of using embossing powders. I firstly saw it at Chris Stocks' UT channel, and as she refered to Marion Emberson UT channel, I looked there also. What can I say? so creative and beautiful results.
So I sprinkled ep from those 3 colors on a piece of white cs, heat embossed from beneath, and then die cut the leaves. They came up with a texture and shine. I used Lindy's Gang ep: Scotch Broom Yellow, Guten Tag Teal, Hyacinth Blue Jade.
I placed the leaves on a piece of white cs, following the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches #484, not before I stamped the sentiment:
For a whimsical look I turned upside down one of the leaves, the one with fructures,and also added a small metal paper clip in turqouise.
I double matted the white cs with navy blue cs and mustard cs, and adhered it to the card basis with foam stirpes.
It also goes for the current challenge at AAA Birthday cards, which is 'Anything Birthday Goes':
And for the 'Emboss' challenge at Perfectly CAS:
It was so good to get back to crafting!
