Sharing a CAS
card I made for a colleague who is retiring featuring a lovely chippie frame
from Make it Crafty and some odds and ends from my stash of embellies.
The layout of my
card comes from the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, where I’m just under
the wire to play along. I used my chippie
frame and a wooden clock embellie for the two circle elements and cut the rectangular
ones from designer paper. To keep with
my white and blue colour scheme I coloured the clock hands with white paint
marker and set them to 12 and 1 as my colleague’s last day is the 1/12. I didn’t have an appropriate stamp for my
sentiment so I printed one on heat resistant acetate and then heat embossed it.
I chose the blue
to be able to play along with the current board over at Tic Tac Toe, where I’ve
gone with the left column. Along with
the blue colour, my design is CAS and this is a masculine card going out to a
male colleague.
I also wanted to
play at TGIF so I used water colours to colour the frame and clock in ombre,
using only one colour of blue on each and just letting the paint fade out
to produce the ombre effect. For a bit
of shine I added clear embossing powder over the frame. I tried that on the first clock face I coloured
up but all the colour leeched out when I heat set the embossing powder so I didn’t
risk it with the second one!
