Time for another challenge at The Card Concept. This time we have colours for your inspiration.
You might think that you can't use spray ink on a clean and simple design. If you think about the basic components of CAS design.
1. One main image
2. Lots of open space (uncluttered)
3. Limited layers & embellishments
4. Quick & easy to recreate

My card meets all those requirements. There is sometimes confusion with open/white space. It doesn't always have to be white, just limit it to one colour. In the case of my design I sprayed the ink on the white base, that now becomes the open/white space. Truth be told this actually started out as a one-layer design, but the ink warped the paper, so I cut the panel slightly smaller than the new card base.
I hope you play along with us again this challenge.
We had 172 participants with challenge #4, let's see if we can beat that this time.
Thanks for visiting.

Perfect CAS card! I haven't used spray inks, the idea of a mess frightens me from trying it :)
So pretty! Love the soft wash of lime!
This is sooo beautiful and soothing to the eyes :)
Wow...this is one amazing card! Your airbrushed background is so soft and subtle paired with the one branch, a beautiful way to say with sympathy.
I love the spray design Tracey...I have not been brave enough to try misting, but I need to! I think it created a very soft effect, perfect for the sympathy theme.
I LOVE IT
Aw, Tracey, I'm in awe. Your "touch" is card magic. You always know how to design and execute a card that speaks volumes, sometimes very softly! Hugs, Darnell
