Treasures in the OCEAN at CASology

We're inviting to join us at CASology to swim around with us for our 2-week challenge.

To make this card, I took a light gray cardstock, die cut it into a tag and covered it with Broken China 

Distress Oxide ink. I used a wave die to cut out a scrap piece of cardstock so that I could use it as a stencil. Starting at the bottom of the tag, I swirled on some Cracked Pistachio distress ink in three layers. I moved my homemade stencil over a smidge or two with each line. 

The die cut nautical images are suspended using silver thread to match the silver embossing of the sentiment. I hope you enjoy!

Please paddle over to the DT blogs to see their inspirations. 

We'd love to see your cards in our gallery!

Our awesome sponsor, STAMPlorations, is back with a prize for the winner.

CASology is Hitting the Books

CASology is back this week with a school-inspired theme. It's the first day of school for the kiddos here in my area, so this is such a fun cue card: EDUCATION.

`

I chose a happy little stamp set by Lawn Fawn (Science of Love) layered on top of the notebook paper with washi corners stamp from an old Hero Arts Stamp Your Story set (My Notebook).

This was so relaxing and fun to create!

Lots of masking and different coloring media were used to pull this off: Barn Door and Broken China Distress Ink, C1, C3, C5, C7 Copic markers, Prismacolor pencils, and Nuvo Crystal and Glitter Drops (Nuvo really is worth the praise it's gotten!)

Time to be inspired by the rest of the DT and our Guest Designer!
