We are so lucky to have Karen joining us as Guest Designer this month. Make sure you stop by and check out her lovely card. I LOVE her work. She does some FABULOUS backgrounds!
For my card, I decided I wanted to keep it VERY clean as simple, because the only "transport" images I have are very tiny. I used the challenges at CAS(E) this Sketch and Colour Me...Monochromatic as well.
I forgot how much I love creating cards that take less than ten minutes to create. This card was truly stress-free, because I didn't have to drag out a ton of supplies, I didn't make a mess, and I didn't have a lot to clean up!
As much as I like my card in person, I hate it on the computer! I don't know WHAT happened to my editing program, but everything has changed from what I usually do. UGH!!! The colors here look so muddy. Sad, sad day. :( Unfortunately, I only have access to a computer for a little while each night, so it is what it is. lol
The stripes are from Work of Art. I just love this set! I just stamped it three times, without reinking, then did the same thing again. Then I stamped my images and sentiment with black ink and colored in the little flags on the boats with my Coastal Cabana marker. So easy! I think I am going to CASE this card using Wild Wasabi and the little car image or bike image instead. This would be a great card for kids to make for their birthday thank you cards!
Stamp Sets: Greetings From, Petite Pairs, Work of Art

ReplyDeleteShana you are being too hard on yourself, the colours look fab and I love this take and so perfectly CAS x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sandie! Yes, I tend to be pretty critical of myself. Lol
DeleteVery nice. Where is Greetings From?
ReplyDeleteIt is in the SU! online store only. Just type in Greetings From in the search bar and it should pop right up for you. It is a photopolymer set. HTH!

ReplyDeleteHi Shana. LOVE the way you've created your background. Awesome stamp and I love it done with the ombre technique. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteYour card looks just fine on my monitor, Shana! I adore that you put both the plane AND the boats on your card which makes it extra perfect for a kid's thank you card! Enjoy the weekend! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteShana I love your take on the sketch and love how you got two modes of transport on this CAS card!!
ReplyDeleteGreat card Shana - love you've got boats and the plane in the scene. Don't you just hate it when you can't edit your photo to show how it actually looks.........but don't worry, this looks absolutely fine to me.
