CAS(e) this sketch #181

Hi there!

Time for a new sketch at CAS(e) this sketch ! It's a classic CAS sketch designed by Leigh!

Here's my take on it:

... and a closer look:

I designed the stripe stencil in my Silhouette studio, or I should rather say 2 stencils. One for the vertical stripes, and another for the horizontal striped heart.

I first stenciled the vertical stripes, and then continued with the striped heart, using distress inks in the following colors: Picked raspberry, spiced marmalade and mustard seed.

I finished off the card with a Silhouette cut sentiment from the Silhouette online store. (Design ID #102616)

I would like to play along with the STRIPE challenge at Addicted to CAS

&

MAKE YOUR MARK challenge at Addicted to stamps


                   

Thanks for visiting me today... hope to see you join us at CAS(e) this sketch this week!

Hi there!

I am back from my holiday, and this is my first live blog post in about a month!

We had a wonderful time with family and friends in South-Africa, but it's always good to be back home, and especially back in my craft room and reunited with my dear furry friend Sugar. Boy, I missed my doggy child so much!

So... it's Tuesday and time to be inspired by a new cue card at CASology !


                                                                 


This was one of those cards where I knew from the first moment the direction I want to go... and to top it all, I love the result too!

A close up of the sentiment:

I designed my card in the Silhouette Studio (no surprise ;)

I created the black frame by 'welding' together  strips inspired by the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. I then cut the 3 colored blocks, and popped them up with foam tape on the card base with my sentiment.To add interest to my sentiment, I colored some of the negative space created by decreasing the character space, with my Promarkers in red, yellow and blue.

You are welcome to download my sentiment:

Fonts used : Bittersweet and Carpenter script

CAS(e) this sketch #180

Hi there!

Popping in with this week's card for your inspiration at CAS(e) this sketch !

I believe we need 'I love you' cards all year round, and not just for Valentine's day!

I never show more than 2 pictures/angles of a card, but just thought I need to show you how different the foiled letters look from different angles!

The color of the Decofoil is PINK MELON

I designed the white panel in the Silhouette studio, used the print (laser printer) and cut function for the letters, and foiled them with a laminator.

Every time I use these foils, it's like an AHA! moment when I remove the foil and see the amazing effect!
LOVE it!

Thanks for the visit :)
Hope to see you play along this week!

Hugs
Hannelie
