CAS3: You Make Me Happy!

Today, I’m sharing a CASE of a card by Tami Hartley from the Online Card Classes CAS3 class. I’m still in the process of going back through the class  material trying designs and techniques I missed. There’s so much information and inspiration packed into these classes!

Tami’s card was a single layer crafted on cardstock. I made a few modifications, creating my panel out of watercolor paper and adhering it to a cardstock base. The background was created with a combination of inks, both Hero Arts and Distress. The Hero Arts inks do not move a lot on watercolor paper. After applying the Hero Arts inks, I filled in with a wash of the Distress Inks. Once the panel was dry, I stamped the Penny Black Dots in Space with Mint Julep ink and then stamped the Raindrops in Pool. Next, I applied some Picket Fence paint to the area where I was planning to stamp the sentiment. I used my finger to fade out the white paint. Once that I was dry, I stamped the sentiment from On Fun. I’m looking forward to creating more watercolor backgrounds, testing the Hero Arts inks on different papers, and layering background stamps.
