Thinking of You - Ombre

This card is for the Addicted to CAS challenge - Code Word - Ombre.

I started with shades of blue and teal Gelatos on watercolour paper then layered with the script and harlequin (VLV) stamps. The sentiment is layering on a fabric ribbon and the girl stamp is from Viva Las Vegas Stamps. It was then mounted on scrapbooking paper and the card.

This Moment - Card

Set out to create a card to fit with a couple of challenges:

I started with watercolour paper and applied a layer of sewing pattern paper. I decided to try stamping with the end of a cotton reel as I thought this would fit nicely with the theme of my card. It worked quite well with the paint (very subtle in pale green) but not quite at defined with the clear embossing stamp. I think the stamp pad is a bit squishy and the reel wasn't completely covered - still OK though. I dripped Liquitex ink and sewed around the edge as well as sewing on the sentiment. Maybe not as CAS as it is supposed to be - my first time at this challenge. It is tricky sometimes to keep is simple, especially as I'm trying to get better at layering!
