Messing with CAS techniques - final part!

The fourth card I made the other day at my friend Helen's house! We did plenty of messing, based on some of the fun on-trend techniques people are using in CAS (Clean and Simple) cards. So another watercolour background and Zig pens to colour in this fab seahorse from Prettygrafikdesign.

Background: Gansai Tambi Watercolour Paints.
Seahorse coloured with: Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens
Main image: Digistamp from Prettygrafikdesign
On Vellum: Greeting from Chocolate Baroque - Happy Words and Birds Sentiments.  Stamped using a Misti! (It rocks!)

Messing with CAS techniques Part 3

This is the third card I made at my friend Helen's house the other day, using some of the on-trend techniques used in CAS (Clean and Simple) cards. Also using some of her delicious new crafty purchases!

Watercolour background, matted and layered onto purple card stock (but it would be just as easy to do it one layer styley instead) and 3D foam mounted penguin on top. Added stamped greeting on vellum (Using a Misti - which is awesome!) and sequins from the stash!

Background: Gansai Tambi Watercolour Paints.
Penguin coloured with: Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens

On Vellum: Greeting from Chocolate Baroque - Happy Words and Birds Sentiments.
Added White posca pen snow spots after!

Messing with things!

Been really inspired to have a go at some of the techniques used on the current trend of CAS (Clean and Simple) cards. Also went to my friend Helen's who has some of the latest crafty goodies to play with. Made four cards in our messing session and this is the first. (Will blog all of them eventually!)

So this is a watercolour background (Could be done one layer but I used watercolour paper and matted/layered it) with a cute animal digi, greeting stamped onto vellum and sequin embellis!

Background: Gansai Tambi Watercolour Paints.
Fox coloured with: Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens

I'm designing some cards using the Knitty Kitty Digi designs that will hopefully show an easy way to use them and create something any catty loving friend would adore! ( Or owl loving friend on occasions...)  More updates on that soon!

I value all feedback, so if you've got an opinion voice it! If you download some of the images and want help or to chat about your work then join us on our facebook page.
