Thank You

Today's subject in the Online Card Class - CAS3 is optical illusions.  One technique is masking, one of my favorite techniques to use on a one layer card.  Another technique is layered stamping.  My card here uses both techniques.  I die cut a mask with a Memory Box butterfly and using the negative space I sponged on the green and blue inks.  While the mask was still on I stamped the leaves.  After removing the mask I stamped the sentiment.  Quick and easy and I love the results.

Four Seasons Wishes

This is my second post for today...

This was created for one of the SCS VSN challenges from this past weekend.  We were to create a card with 4 images for the 4 seasons.  I had a package of 2 inch mini canvases and I thought these would be perfect for this challenge.  I did a water color wash with Twinkling H2O's on each canvas and then stamped the images and sentiments with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  I mounted them with Scor-tape on a DCWV 5" square card.  The images and sentiments are from PaperTrey.

SCS VSN Weekend

This weekend is Virtual Stamp Night (VSN)at SCS.  There are challenges posted every hour starting Friday afternoon through Saturday night.  You need to create your card according to the challenge criteria within 45 minutes.  If I keep then CAS I have a chance to meet the 45 minutes!  Since I had the colors already out while I was making my last card I used them for this card.  For this challenge we were supposed to case a card from luvlee's gallery.  I cased Sending Caring Thoughts.
Since I used the Play Date Cafe colors again I am submitting this to that challenge:

I also used a banner for my image so I am submitting this to the Cas-ual Friday Challenge:

I stamped the Flourishes image on PaperTrey white card stock and watercolored the flowers with SU! Taken With Teal and Marvelous Magenta ink and a water brush.  The card front was embossed with a Cuttlebug Embossing folder so the banner would stand out.
