Inspired by Keren Baker

Love Keren’s style and have followed her for a while. I adore her CAS card making skills. I also love to make this type of card so i am so happy she is showing how to create a Paper Artsy CAS style.

My first card has been made upcycling a wire frame from a cheap barbeque as the base for the JOFY mini 38 to be showcased.

The Imagine word is a Spellbinders Shapeabilities Girlie Grunge Set by Donna Salazar i got reduced at a craft fair last year.

Stamped the image onto a piece of card which was over from another project, stamped it again in a tonal colour and then layered them together. Painted over with Fresco Finish Satin Glaze. Drew around the flower with a black Posca Pen.

Stuck the wire down using this amazing glue. This Collall Tacky glue is my favourite as it will stick anything down!

 

Received my Eileen Hull Sizzix ATB die on Saturday along with an a Frameworks Die, Honeycomb.  Used them both to create a fairly CAS ATB, my first one.

  After cutting the ATB out i used some inks onto a silicon mat and dabbed all the shapes into the different colours of violet and green.

Took the Frameworks die and using balsa wood cut out the honeycomb shape. Looks fantastic, stamped some text onto the outline, am keeping the small hexagons for another project.

Took one of the flower stamps from JOFY 14 plate and some words from the JOFY 11 plate and added them onto the block. Used Derwent Inktense pencils to colour the flowers.

Haven’t stuck down the smaller of the two blocks yet as they need decorating but you can see how they will look when more stamping and words will be added.

Hope you enjoyed todays post, do leave a comment so i know you dropped by.
