Al challenge #22 di Let's Squash it! il tema è CAS + embossing. Le CAS cards non sono sicuramente il mio pane, ma ho voluto provarci ed è uscita questa (sperando che sia abbastanza pulita e semplice!!) 😐:
La forma della card è particolare, l'ho ottenuta piegando a metà un cartoncino di recupero tagliato con la fustella alta "Big Tag" brand Lasercom. Ho embossato un cartoncino bianco che era il leftover di una fustellata a forma di fiore e un piccolo avanzo di carta azzurra, entrambi con la EF "Lace" textured fades by Tim Holtz e le ho sovrapposte. Poi ho tagliato un bordo scallop a onda brand Apple Blossoms da un pezzo di vellum (o meglio da un pezzo di carta da lucido per disegno tecnico) e ci ho aggiunto delle bellissime gemme turchesi che avevo nel mio stash e che aspettavano il loro momento. 😊 Altre piccolissime gemme sugli angoli. Il sentiment è un vecchio timbro Sizzix e il cerchio è tagliato con un punch.
Dato che il retro della mia base aveva delle scritte (era la confezione di un kit di carte patterned del Lidl) ho tagliato un'altra forma identica in nero e le ho unite. All'interno ho incollato una fustellata bianca per poter scrivere un messaggio e due gemme turchesi a forma di foglia negli angoli visibili. Nella parte nera si potrebbe incollare una foto.

What a different and interesting card. Love all the texture and the flower in the blue.
RispondiEliminaWhat a great way to use your embossing folder. I love the little window with the blue embossing poking through and those jewels are gorgeous. I think it counts as CAS, in my book anyway xx
RispondiEliminaLike you, I don't always do well with CAS cards, but this turned out fabulous! Those turquoise gemstones and beads have given this such an elegant look on top of that white embossing! I love the shape of the card too! How incredibly creative and beautiful this is! Thanks for sharing this over at the Let's Squash it Challenge - I'm impressed :)
RispondiEliminaSweet wishes for a good week ahead with plenty of hugs too!-

A cool and unique shaped card. What a great prize to win. Love the colours and your colouring is beautiful.
RispondiEliminaSo sorry, but the last part of my comment above was meant for your Namaste card. Serves me right for having too many tabs open, getting distracted and then going back to the wrong tab. 🤷🏻♀️ I do live the colour, that is true. The gems are a beautiful touch. Based on the samples from the challenge post, I think this is CAS!
RispondiEliminaA unique shape and I love how the turquoise elements pop from the white embossed background and pick up the color of the cardbase.
RispondiEliminaI am one who loves embossing, so this is gorgeous! I like the flower cut-out and the beautiful gems you added! I also like the unique card shape with the scalloped tag edge! So creative, my friend! The inside looks amazing as well! Awesome work on creating CAS style! I am so happy to see your creativity this summer and sorry I have not been here sooner!
RispondiEliminaOh! That's so fun and unexpected with the flower aperture and the lovely embossing continued through. Great card shape. Beautiful. Thanks for joining the fun at Let's Squash It! Hugz
