FLY Away with CASology

Happy Tuesday! I want to invite you to come over to CASology, spread your wings with us this week, and join along with our new cue card.

Rubber Dance Stamps is sponsoring our challenge for the 2nd week in a row (how AWESOME are they?!!) and sent me these two bee stamps, one is smaller and the other, definitely a focal image.

One of my fave techniques is stamping with only water onto a sponged Distress Ink background (specifically Distress Ink because of how they react with water). It lifts the ink in some areas, darkens it in others, and just gives hints of what the stamp is in some others.

My sentiment is "Be(e) a dreamer"; I thought it was cool to use the stamp in place of the actual word :) Plus, bees remind me of the summer months and time outside and the red, white, and blue was a nod to the upcoming 4th of July holiday.

Please take some time to buzz over to see everyone's inspiration for the week and say hi to our guest designer and sponsor.

From the CASology HOUSE to You

The CASology challenge blog team wants you to feel at HOME with our new cue card!

This week our super supportive sponsor sent me one of their Textured Houses stamps to work with, and as always with Rubber Dance Stamps, I'm in love! You can see how the entire image I'm using stamped on a scrap piece of cardstock. Perfect for mixed media and CAS designs! You'll be seeing these again :)

I wanted subtle tones in the houses and a real pop in the sky and ground. I (as usual) did a little stamp surgery so I wouldn't use the stars, but instead the sunbursts in the vibrant summer skyline.

Please knock on the other DT members' blog doors and see what's inside! Our guestie this week has a great inspiration card too as a welcome :) This weeks winner will get the entire stamps set for free!

Pines Fir Yew - CASology and Rubber Dance Stamps

I'm still crawling out from under snow, but CASology has given me plenty of time

to play and stamp! This week's cue card is: FOREST.

I started with a little masking so I could work with just the edges of my card. I used three different Distress Inks (Cracked Pistachio, Fossilized Amber, and Mermaid Lagoon) to ink up these fabulous rubber stamps sent to me by Rubber Dance Stamps. They make great impressions, hold ink wonderfully, and I love the design of these pine firs (not to mention the name- Pines Fir Yew)! Then let the ink blending begin. My sentiment is from their oh-so-pretty scripty font set Beautiful Words. My favorite part is always the reveal of pulling the masking tape off :)

Time to get lost in the forest of DT ideas on their blogs. And don't forget to say hi to our guest designer and check out the online shop and blog of our sponsor this week!
