Hello friends. It's time for another Old Is New day at Impression Obsession, a day to use some of the older stamps in the line.
I am featuring a CAS card today. This is out of my comfort zone, as I love embellishing and layering, and lots of texture. But, every once in a while I stretch myself with a CAS challenge.
IO Stamps/Dies Links:
Eucalyptus Branch 1 C20884 (inside)
On watercolor paper, in my Misti, I stamped the Eucalyptus Branch with antique linen distress ink. I used Kuretake Gansai watercolor paints to paint the image. I painted in layers, building up color as I went from leaf to leaf. When it was dry, I added some spatters.
I stamped the Sending Hugs verse onto a tag I had cut from the Small Tags die, and added it with some twine around the card. I attached this panel to a soft heather panel, then onto an ivory A2 card front.
Inside, I stamped the Eucalyptus Branch 1 with weathered wood distress ink.
That's it. Clean and simple. Easy-peasy.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. I appreciate your comments.
I am adding my card to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything goes
Time Out Challenge - Quick (easy, quick to make)
Blessings,
This is lovely Lynda and you do CAS wonderfully. I like the subtle layering of colours and the soft splatter adds to an arty feel. I like you used the twine to add some texture and it really suits the vintage feel to your card. Thanks for joining Time Out x
