CAS and Around the World

 

These are the two cards for the new monthly challenges for the DTs I am on at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations. We have an anything goes that is stamped policy at both challenges with optional themes as described below.

My first card is for We Love Stamping using the CAS option. I used DI inks on a square stamping block and spritzed them. Stamping each time onto the card. I used a stitch effect die to frame the squares and then added stamps from a very old SU set. I placed it on a black card base and felt for the CAS theme it needed no more.

 

2 prizes from Oakwood, essentials collection (trimmer, scissors, tweezers, cutting blade and glue rollers) and a House Mouse stamp.

My second card is for Stamping Sensations with the optional theme of Around the World. I bought this stamp preloved a few years ago and never used it before. It is a huge stamp and so takes a card base all by itself. I used various vintage tones of DI to colour and then added a little bit of stencilling with a TH argyle pattern. I had a piece of card that was left over from another inky make. As the originally inking only covered half the piece I used the same inks and stencil on it and then cut a circle, which I think makes for an interesting pattern and doesn't look too out of place on this card. Finally I added a CI freebie stamp "around the world" to the centre of the card.
