CSS Alumni October 23 Blog Hop

Our eighth blog hop is a CAS Limited Supply challenge. If you arrived from Joy's blog, you are in the right place.

Here are the instructions we were given -fun, fun, fun!

Blog Hop Details:
Create a CAS card or project that contains only the following items and no others:

Your design must be CAS - Clean And Simple: lots of white or open space with one main focal point
One image
One sentiment
One layer card - your card base plus only one more layer
Embellishments - you can use any number of embellishments you want, but they all must be the same color.

I made two cards for this hop. First one uses the pumpkin image from Theresa's Fanciful Fall stamp set. I Cuttlebugged the bg, and quickly added a few swipes of Vintage Photo Distress ink, stamped the image and used EP and set with heat. I then bleached the pumpkin and applied Perfect Pearls. A little bling and it's done.

My next card started with a card base of Gina's Pure Luxury white CS. I scored it with my Scor-pal. I stamped the little girl from the Funny Farm set with black Memento ink and used EP and heat set. I colored the girl with Copics, on a Nestie die cut, edged with a black marker. I popped it up , added some felt flowers and voila!!!

Thank you for stopping by, before you head off to see what Kay has in store for you. Just click here.

Comment by Marla Lagoski on October 25, 2010 at 3:35pm: Just love both of these cards. The pumpkin card is great for a masculine card. The other one is just so sweet.

Comment by Pat Jandacek on October 25, 2010 at 3:29pm: Using the bleach technique was an inspiration; it adds color without really 'brightening' the over-all feel of the card. I love the imagery, fantastic job on the brick wall - hadn't seen that EF before (or maybe I should say I hadn't NOTICED that EF before. It may be your treatment of it that's so eye-catching.) The perfectly applied black edging on the Funny Farm piece deserves praise especially, but the entire card is great. TFS your many talents.
