Celebrating FATHERs at CASology

It's almost that time to celebrate the Dads, Fathers, Pops, Dadas, Papas...whatever name they go by.

At CASology, we are joining the celebration!

I had this loopy idea to make a skinny, wide card and only use a a corner of it...and this was my mashup :) I intentionally chose black and brown ink for the mustache, inking the stamp half and half, as an expression for the social injustice we're fighting with black and brown people everyday.

The mustache stamp is from Tim Holtz, the stars and hearts are from Concord & 9th, the sentiment is from Avery Elle. I decided to grunge up the edge of the little slip of paper on which I stamped the sentiment for a more "manly" appeal :)

Be sure to pop in with the other DT members to see their Daddy's Day creations over the next 2 weeks!

ZODIAC Birthday with CASology

I love all things astrology! Science, philosophy, fun...whatever you want to call it, it's truly written in the stars :) For the next 2 weeks, the CASology cue card is all about the cosmos:

Please join me in wishing my mom an awesome birthday tomorrow!

To keep my card CAS, I die cut a little square of watercolor paper on which to create my galaxy scene. I used 3 different Dr. Phil Martin's Hydrus watercolors (Ultramarine, Phthalo Blue, and Cobalt Violet). I love these because a little really goes a long way! Using a white gel pen, I freehand drew the Aries zodiac constellation and splattered on some watered-down white acrylic paint for the stars. I ran some clear Wink of Stella glitter pen across the entire scene. The moon and sentiment are from an awesome starry stamp set from Hero Arts. I have to admit, Mustard Seed Distress Ink is my absolute favorite yellow ink ever lol :)

I hope you pop in to see the dreamy cards from the DT & Guest Designer.
