Sharing a CAS
card featuring the sweet Water World image from A Day for Daisies.
I needed a card
for a colleague’s birthday and wasn’t really sure what I was going to do for it
so looked around at some challenges for inspiration. The fantasy theme over at Happy Little Stampers
for their CAS challenge got me thinking about this new image I got from A Day for Daisies of the pretty mermaid.
To make up my
card I’ve used the current sketch at Freshly Made Sketches. I made the square element bigger and shrunk
the any shape element. For the small
rectangular element, I added a chippie from Make it Crafty, which I covered in
loads of embossing powder. Rummaged through
my embellie drawer and found this old Prima resin shell that worked well for
the any shape element.
For a bit of added
interest, I thought I’d play along at The Paper Girls and turn the square
element into a shaker. But then thought
rather than try and fussy cut the image to add over the top I would print
her on some vellum and heat emboss. I then
water coloured the mermaid with Distress Inks before adding in some Little
Things from Lucy’s Cards’ sequins and backed with some wave designer
paper. Love how the vellum creates a
really soft and subtle shaker and makes the whole thing look a bit underwater.

Beautiful use of the sketch - and you perfectly captured the fantasy theme of the other challenge. I love the soft and magical look of the shaker elements behind the vellum. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
