That CAS Feeling


Hi everyone, I spent a whole afternoon crafting session making a card with a variety of elements and techniques that required quite a bit of concentration (to be shared at a future time), so when I had a short window of time left over at the end I just felt like making something simple. I also wanted to have a little practice with my new Inktense pencils - I have bought a small tin to try as I had a £5 off voucher for Hobbycraft, so I thought I would start with a simple image.


I cut a square of stamping card, stamped my floral image and coloured with Inktense pencils. As the image isn't particularly large I decided it needed a prominent sentiment, so I chose this lovely Indigo Blu one. I added some light Distress Oxide smooshing applied with acetate arou d the flower, and three teeny heart gems, and matted onto red card stock. All my corners were rounded with a X-Cut corner punch.

Stamps: AALL & Create #904 Flower Journey; Indigo Blu sentiment;
Media: Derwent Inktense pencils; Tim Holtz Distress oxide ink (Twisted Citron); Versafine Clair (Nocturne);
Tools: X-Cut corner punch.
