JAI #665 - Just Add CAS

This week at Just Add Ink we're challenging you to make a CAS creation - clean and simple. Generally that's defined as minimal layers and embellishments and lots of wide open "white" space.

For my card I've gone for jungle themed cuteness with a sweet-as-can-be zebra.

I sponged a little green ink in my lower corner then stencilled some leaves in a slightly darker shade. The image was coloured with Copics then die cut and attached with Dimensionals.

Materials used:

• stamps - African Animals (C.C. Designs)
• card - basic white, basic black (SU), Monochrome Basics 1.1 (Paper Rose)
• distress oxide inks - bundled sage, mowed lawn
• Copic markers - C0,C2,C4,C5,E51,E40
• other - African Animals die set, leaf stencil, blending brush, MISTI, Dimensionals

Check out more clean and simple inspiration over on the Just Add Ink blog.

Thanks for stopping by.

The Card Concept Challenge #193

It's time for a new challenge at The Card Concept and this week you've a choice between two great inspiration pics, (a) New Arrival or (b) Busy Bee.

 

I couldn't resist those adorable forest animals in option a and took them as inspiration for my clean and layered baby card.

The animals are coloured with Copics and fussy-cut. For the sentiment I cut two layers of the dies and glued them together - I love the additional dimension this gives. 

Materials used:

• stamps - Woodland Friends (Isabel Cristina)
• card - basic white, mint macaron, cinnamon cider, Baby Milestones plaid (Nitwit)
• Copic markers - 
• racoon - C0,C2,C4,R20
• deer - E41,E42,E43,R20,E25
• squirrel - E11,E13,E15
• other - Well Scripted dies (SU), Big Shot, retired in-colour dots (SU), Stampin' Blends just jade light, mint macaron light and dark (SU), white gel pen

I do hope you'll check out the cards my fellow team members have created to inspire you. We'd love to see your own creation in our gallery.

Thanks for stopping by.
