I
Hello and welcome
Today it’s time for the next challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday! This week Tristan is hosting the Feminine “Anything Goes” Challenge. I hope you’ll find time to share your creations.
This week I decided to make a CAS card, not always my strong point!
I started by masking a frame around my watercolour panel and stamping a section of Mama Elephant – Wild Meadow stamp so it fills one corner. It was heat embossed using Lindy’s Stamp Gang – Adobe Fire Two-toned Embossing Powder, a new one I picked up!
I then did the same in the opposite corner with only a very small section of the stamp.
It was then time to carefully remove the tape. Using a WOW embossing pen I added a line along the edge of the stamped section and heat embossed it using Lawn Fawn – Rose Gold Embossing Powder. It was interesting to see that there wasn’t a great difference between the 2 colours.
I used the LF powder to heat emboss the sentiment from Hero Arts – Thanks Stamp & Cut. The small second sentiment was stamped along the bottom so it appeared to carry on the line.
Distress Inks were used to watercolour the leaves.
Don’t forget to head over to our blog to check out the wonderful inspiration from the rest of our Design Team.
I look forward to seeing what you create this week!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments.
Have a great day
Cheers
Helen

What a lovely card, Helen! The soft colouring adds such a wonderful, feminine air to the design. I love the two-toned embossing powder, too. Adding it along the outer edges of the card really finishes it off beautifully. It’s hard to believe that CAS isn’t your strong point.
