CCC #130

IMG_7328

Happy Tuesday and time for a new Cue Card at CASology!

This week our our cue word is:




Had some fun with this one creating a card for that friend who lives far away from me now. To create my sky behind my image I first die cut the coordinating die for the little girl from a Post-it Note and adhered it where I wanted her to go on my card base.  Then I sponged Tumbled Glass in a circle motion on and around the die cut. Then I removed the die cut and stamped the image in the space and coloured. Worked out great but I had a backup plan if it didn't, like we need those right (I do)...if my colouring didn't work out I could always stamp and die cut another image to put it over top.

    I was going to ask how you got such a lovely soft halo of sky around the little girl so I'm glad you explained it. So clever and a super sweet card. :)

    Hi Tracey! I think your sky and coloring turned out great! I was really drawn to the sky element when I first saw your card, too. Hope I get to play along again this week. I really appreciated your visit and comment on my card for last week's challenge :)

    Well, now why haven't I 'connected' the dots with using post-it-notes to ink around a die? I'm so d-uh at times! Yeesh! Oh well, not only your gorgeous card to bring a smile to my face - such a sweet little girl - but I'm coming away with a new technique! Win-win!!
