Guest Designer at CAS•ology


I was so happy to be invited by Melissa at CAS•ology, to be the guest designer this week. The theme is METAL.

I had planned to make my card over the weekend, but then my husband surprised me with a weekend away. So my head was spinning with ideas, but my hands couldn't play! But I did it on my return Sunday night.

Gold Spritz, gold thread and gold embossing! A lot of detail, layers and texture but still CAS as I left a lot of white space around the focal point.

I diecut the WPlus 9 feathers and inked up with Salty Ocean and Peacock Feathers, then flicked water over them. Made sure they were dry before the next step. I stamped the feathers with a paint splatter and touched the edges with Versamark and then embossed in gold.
