Good Morning.
A very simple, CAS card today.
For those of you that don't know what 'CAS' means it is a short form for Clean and Simple.
I love the style and it can be interpreted in many ways.
Today at Splitcoast, the challenge is to create a CAS card. If that is our typical style, we are asked to dial it back even more.
So, here's what I came up with.
I began by inking my heavy weight cardstock with Peacock Feather Distress ink and an inking tool. Next, I placed the Peacock Feathers stamp into my Misti, sprayed with water and pressed onto the paper. Since the Distress inks are water-based, the colour lifted to reveal this gorgeous image.
Simple right?
I dried the piece with my heat gun then using my Misti again, stamped the sentiment from SSS and clear heat embossed it. I added the black pearls for interest.

Peacock Feathers is one of my favourite Distress Inks Karen, and I love what you have done with the water bleaching technique, and finished beautifully with the nice large sentiment and the two black pearls. x
What a great look and what a great design done in those colors. I love the nice big sentiment you used on it too.
What a wonderful result with this technique, Karen! I need to try it again as my last attempt was trash! Pretty feathers!
Fabulous technique and wonderful card! The water leaves a lovely soft image and I really like the contrast of the black sentiment! xxx
Your background seems extra ghostly today.
Simply Beautiful Karen. I need to check out the challenge. TFS Hugs..

Sounds easy and yours is fantastic, Karen, but when I tried it I was disappointed. Maybe my stamps were too small.
Just brilliant, I love the card design! Love how simple you have embelished it. Thanks for joining us this month at LTCCB!
