I had 5 challenges today I wanted to incorporate into one card. What do you think of it? The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches, the CAS theme is from CASology - windy, and colors are from CAS Colors and Sketches. The other theme from Paperminutes is balloons. The last challenge is a technique challenge from Shopping our Stash - ink blending.
The colors I chose are Vineyard Berry, Sapphire, and Gold (plus a little Canary yellow to blend into the gold). I picked a hot air balloon Cricut cut from the Artiste cartridge for the balloon theme, and made it flying through a sunset sky for the “windy” theme. The sunset was made by blending inks from stamp pads with sponge daubers. I used a white-on-white layered cut to maintain the white space of my CAS card.
It’s been raining all day, so excuse the dark photo. I tried to get a better one:
Materials used:
Cardstock: White Daisy, Sapphire
Stamps: To My Bestie
Ink: Sapphire, Vineyard Berry, Canary, Bamboo pigment ink
Other: Gold Glitter paper, Gold embossing Powder
Using a white balloon is a great way to accentuate your pretty blended background Sarah and your gold adds a lovely touch of sparkle too. Thanks for playing along over at CAS Colours & Sketches this week!
