Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Made one more card for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week. I created an origami sailboat using paper stamped with the Hero Arts newsprint background and red paper. I used the My Favorite Things Die-namics Wonky Scallop Border to create ocean waves and finished with a sentiment from Bring on the Sun by Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday.
This week’s CAS-ual Fridays challenge (#60) is to use text on your card.
I love the versatility of the Hero Arts newsprint background stamp. Using Hero Arts mid-tone inks, I stamped the Lawn Fawn Dad’s Day tie onto cardstock stamped with the newsprint. I adhered that panel to cardstock stamped with Hello There from the Hero Arts Hey Dey Sentiments set. That panel is adhered to a card made from Hero Arts layering paper in latte. I finished the card off with Divine Twine and a Bo Bunny button.
This card for the Lawnscaping Challenge #37 didn’t end up the way I initially envisioned it. My first attempt using the Lawn Fawn “Sunny Skies” stamp set included two kites and a sun, but I just couldn’t get the design to hang together. So naturally, I added more kites!
I stamped white cardstock with the Hero Arts Newsprint background stamp. Next I stamped and embossed the kites and the tail pieces on the background stamped paper. Finally I used a variety of Tim Holtz distress inks to color the kites.
