I was lucky enough to win Challenge #272 at CASology a few weeks ago so today I'm joining the lovely team as Guest Designer!
I'll get straight to it an give you the cue word...
I will admit, I didn't have many Stormy options but I eventually came up with this card..
On some pale grey cardstock I blended some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink along the edge of a cloud stencil to create a background. I used some stitched frame dies to create the frame. This was adhered flat to my card base and I then stamped the sentiment in blue ink and finished with a die cut sun (actually a flower die!) from yellow cardstock, gently blended with a little Distress Ink.
Materials used:
- Stencil: MFT - Mini Cloud Edges
- Ink: Distress Ink - Hickory Smoke, Wild Honey; Versa Color - Lapislazuli
- Stamp: Clearly Besotted - April Showers
- Dies: Clearly Besotted - Frame It Die Collection; Creative Expressions - Finishing Touches: Chrysanthemum
Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope to be back in a day or so with some more of my Christmas makes.
Great card to reflect the word given x
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore this. Such a fantastic design, and even more clever when I read how you made it without any specific stormy stamps. Thanks so much for being our Guest Designer at CASology this week.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your well-deserved win and Guest Designer spot, Anita! This is a beautiful take on the cue card...I love your stormy sky and bold yellow sun! Great job retaining all that gorgeous white space, too!
