It's Monday again and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players, and our lovely Joanne has come up with a CAS challenge PP641 - "One Image". Anyone who's been following my blog for any amount of time knows that CAS is my favorite card style!
I broke down and actually purchased a stamp set this week - primarily to participate in a Guest Design slot over at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers next week. I won't spoil the surprise of the challenge and tell you what it is and why I needed to add to my stash, but the stencil/stamp set had a couple of great sentiments that I'll be using in the near future. I particularly like this one and chose to use it with a single image (the cumulus clouds from Hero Arts #CM357). It's really two separate clouds, but I stamped them more than once so I could layer them into a single image.
I started with a very pale aqua card stock that I die cut into a stitched rectangle and stamped the sentiment in black, layered it with gray cardstock, and matted it with a larger white die-cut rectangle. I stamped the clouds a couple of times and fussy cut them and colored them with a gray Prisma colored pencil. After attaching the layers of front panel/sentiment to a white card base, I glued the clouds to the front with some dimensional foam - and voila!
Come along on the fun and do a CAS card for Joanne!
