613 Avenue Create - September - Anything Goes/Option Clean & Simple

Hello!  Our September challenge at 613 Avenue Create has the option of making a CAS (Clean & Simple) project.  You'll want to enter your projects and also check to see who won last month's challenge.  Here's my card - very clean and simple, with no stamping.

I used a sail boat die owned by a friend so I don't know the name of the die.  I actually layered two die cuts together to give it a bit of depth.  I created my sky and water using Distress Inks.  I smooshed the inks on my craft sheet, sprayed them with water and painted them onto some card stock. I used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the background panel, adhered it to a white card base, and added the die cut.  I love how this turned out. (I made extra cuts of this sail boat scene so you will probably see more cards with this image in the near future.)


Card stock:  Recollections 110 lb
Die:  Unknown (borrowed from a friend)
Distress Inks:  Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass

Celebrating World Card Making Day

Since Saturday was World Card Making Day, I wanted to create a card even though I wasn't able to craft with friends.  I needed a card for our grand niece who suffered a burn in a microwave accident.  I used Distress Inks and acetate to create the background.  She will be getting this card with a little something in it to help her feel better.  And since she's a teenager, you know exactly what that little something is - LOL!

I smooshed two Distress Inks on my craft mat and spritzed them with water.  Then I placed a piece of acetate on the inks (separately) and placed the acetate down onto the card panel.  I dried the first color with my heat gun before adding the other color.  I did this a couple of times, adding the color to a different section of the panel each time. Then, using two separate dies, I cut the sentiment, adhering the words to the base.  I inked the flower stamp with Distress Ink and cut it out, popping it up.  I adhered the distress panel to the front of the card base.  Finally, I added a strip of Washi.  Done!

Card stock:  Recollections 60 lb and 110 lb
Inks:  Distress Squeezed Lemonade and Salty Ocean
Washi:  My stash
Stamp:  Close to My Heart (retired)
Dies:  Paper Smooches (I think; I don't have the markings any more)
