Clean and Simple Card Making 3 - Day 3

IMG_4034




Back with another card for Clean and Simple Card Making 3. Today's lesson was Optical Illutions. The card I made was based on Laura Bassen's lesson on layered stamping.  I stuck pretty close to her sample because that is how I learn, I do it once just as it is taught and then like an elephant I will never forget--well at least I hope I won't.  I was happy with the results, but really I wish I had worked with solid images. Next time, because I will remember?

CASology #61



Ready for another CASology Cue Card?
This week's cue is sure to keep you guessing:




This week I have an encouragement card to share with you using the new Waltzingmouse stamp set Ocean Bound. A CAS card does not have to be white to have lots of white space.  White space is a figurative term also described as breathing room.  You can use darker colours, but by not crowding your design it still gives an uncluttered feel.




Head on over to CASology today to learn what the 'cue card' means to you, how you can play along and see the all the cards created by the Design Team to inspire you.


Guest Designer:  Deepti

I can't wait to see what SILHOUETTE means to you!

Cardstock:  Enchanted Evening, Pure Poppy (Papertrey Ink)

Dynamic Duos #59



Happy Saturday and time for a new duo from Dynamic Duos.
This week our duo is Basic Grey and your choice of any colour!




For my card this week I chose Tempting Turquoise as my colour because I loved the way the vibrant blue looked against the grey.  My design is primarily die cuts but I 'hope' that this card provides 'hope and encouragement' to someone who needs it.

We hope you can come and play with us this week!

colourQ #191 and CAS(E) this Sketch #29



Happy Tuesday friends, it is time for this week's new colourQ palette.
Don't you just love this purse?
Arielle you are are finding the best purses.




Had some fun with these colours and broke out another, new to me, Verve set called Good Friends.
I also played with my Silhouette and created die cuts for my new stamps.  I just wish I was better at lining them up when stamping.  I used the sketch from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch too, I never tire of these sketches.






We hope that you come a play with us this week at the colourQ and while you are there make sure to visit the blogs of the rest of the Design Team to see their fabulous creations.
