Red and White- CAS Watercolour Challenge

Welcome

A new month means a new theme at the 

CAS Watercolour Challenge

This month we have a colour challenge for you to use Red and Black.

This month we welcome my talented friend Michele as our GD.

Guest Designer:  Michele (I Card Everyone)

So onto my card details.

Love is in the air this month with Valentine's Day right around the corner but I decided to use those colours, commonly found with that theme, in a different way.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock and placed it into my Misti.

I inked up the large snowflake by colouring directly onto my stamp with my Memento markers, sprayed with water and pressed it onto my cardstock.  I repeated that process using a variety of red markers until I had a deep, rich red on my snowflakes.  I turned my paper around and stamped the snowflake again at the top using the same process.

Next, I stamped the sentiment then die-cut the hemstitch border.  I love the simple interest the border  added to my card.

Keeping it all clean and simple, I mounted it to a heavy white card base and added a few black gems.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look and I hope you will come and play along with us.

Deck the Halls

Good Morning

Well the big day is almost here.

I've been so busy with all the preparations, that I haven't had time to post, so I am taking a moment to get this done now.

This was a super simple one, I like the monochromatic look it has and I think the red is so festive looking.

I began with a piece of heavy white cardstock, placed it into my Misti and stamped the script background.  It is a large stamp that has a variety of scripts on it.  I stamped the Outline Snowflakes right over the script, then using the Oval Hemstitch die, I die-cut it in the center of my card front.

I stamped the sentiment inside the oval cut then added some red pop dots.

I glued it onto a heavy white card base.  

That's it....simple.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
