God's Glory

Hi, everyone! This week's Ways To Use It Challenge is all about The Wild West. I only had time for a quick CAS card, so I used the image from the 'Howdy' stamp set and the sentiment from the 'Happy Trails' set.  The stamping was done in Stazon Jet Black, then Blending Brushes were used for the background. This will be easy to mail for my brother's birthday.

CAS Cowboy Silhouette

Hi, everyone!  This week's Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoast is to create a CAS card with a Western theme.  I chose the 'Howdy' set from Our Daily Bread designs to create a birthday card for my uncle.  I cut a piece of cratch paper A2 size, then die cut a rectangle out of it to create a mask.  The silhouette was stamped in Stazon Jet black, then eggplant, navy, and tangerine were sponged to create the background.  Once the mask was removed, some doodling was added for a frame.

Howdy / Masking Tape Technique

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Linda aka bubblestx4....congrats, Linda!!!  I loved so many awesome cards from Linda's gallery, but I finally decided on this intriguing card....such a cool idea with the inked masking tape!  I have quite a few masculine cards to make this week, so this was a perfect choice! I started by cutting a piece of scratch paper, tore it at an angle, then adhered torn pieces of masking tape over it.  Before adhering the back of the scratch paper to the card base, rust and brown inks were sponged over it, which darkened the edges of the tape.  I chose the 'Howdy' set by Our Daily Bread designs since I did not have a skull image like on Linda's card.  On a panel cut with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles Dies (matted with the ODBD Custom Circles Dies), the image was stamped in Stazon Jet Black, then sponged with Cajun Craze and Daffodil Delight.
