CAS Colours and Sketches - Take Flight

Hello, Crafty Makers!
Today, I crafted two cards for submission to 
CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge.  
~~~~~~~~~
 For my first design, I used the smoosh technique with Ranger Distress Oxide Inks to create my "faux" watercolored background.  I arranged my feather stamps using my Tim Holtz Stamping Tool.  I had only four small stamps in this collection, so I had to stamp twice but using the tool made short work of that.  I added Wink of Stella to the feathers and I was done!
Note Card Size: 4.25"x5.5", Panel Size: 4.0"x5.25"
Panel:
Materials:
Hot Off The Press "Feathers" Stamp Collection
Neenah "Ebony" and "Brilliant White" Linen Cardstock
Wink of Stella
Ranger Distress Oxide Inks: 
Peeled Paint, Fossilized Amber, Broken China
Other Inks:
Ranger Distress Ink: Vintage Photo, StazOn Solvent "Jet Black"
~~~~~~~~
For this second project, I first stamped and heat embossed the feathers and sentiment.  Then, I painted my background using my distress inks.  I felt the white spaces needed to be toned down to allow the white embossed feathers to stand out more.  I achieved this by lightly dabbing Vintage Photo Distress Ink on most of the white spaces and to distress the edges of the panel. The final touch was to stamp a few star sprays around a few of the feathers and apply a little Wink of Stella to my feathers.  I was going for an abstract presentation and I think I got there.

HEALTHY HEART MONTH


Hello, Crafty Peeps!  The Greetings Team Challenge at The Outlawz this week celebrates Healthy Hearts!   We are challenging you to create a card using embossing and the color red.  I'm sure we all have some hearts left over from Valentine's Day.



The embossed butterfly on this card was created using Memory Box's Vivienne Butterfly Die.  The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark and heat embossed with Pirate's Gold Embossing Powder.  The red button was threaded with gold elastic ribbon and added to a scallop circle with a piece of foam dimension.

I hope you will stop by The Outlawz and play along with us in the Greetings Challenge and one or two of the other seven (7) weekly challenges!

Hugz,
Chana
