Sharing a card
tonight I made for a friend using Tim Holtz’s Bird Crazy and Crazy Things
stamps.
This card is
going out to a male friend so I’ve kept it deliberately CAS and used the shapes
and stamping to create interest. The
design follows the current sketch at Sketch Saturday, which I flipped as the
crazy bird I picked seems to be looking up at something floating by so I used a
balloon for the circle element over his head rather than at his feet. To create the two-toned background I’ve used a
stencil rather than designer papers.
Stencils are the
current theme at CAS on Sunday so I am entering my card there. For my colours I used the themed ones from
CAS Colours & Sketches. I don’t have
Stampin’ Up inks so I substituted with Distress Inks, using Stormy Sky for the
Marina Mist and Worn Lipstick for the Watermelon Wonder (which seem to match as
best as I can tell through a computer monitor).
The Night of Navy I have covered with my navy cardstock base and mat.
By keeping my
card CAS and using challenges for inspiration on the design elements I was able
to create this card in under an hour.
The perfect thing for a spot of Monday night crafting when work in the
morning means no staying up late to fiddle with embellies and selecting
designer papers.

ReplyDeleteEmily - that's a really fun card and I rather like that you're using the Worn Lipstick colour on a masculine card! Thanks for joining us at CAS Colours & Sketches this week. Liz x
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous to see the CC&S colours used in such a quirky and cheeky way - love that crazy bird! Thanks for playing.
ReplyDeleteI love how you flipped the sketch upside-down. Super cute (I'm a huge fan of Tim's Crazy Birds!) So glad that you joined in the fun over on the Sketch Saturday site.
