CASology 15 - Night


Today's CASology Cue Card is Night.



I started with a simple panel of navy and embossed the star (unknown) and the sentiment (Inkadinkado) with Lightning embossing powder (Sparkle and Sprinkle) - it's really sparkly in real life.

Then I thought it needed something. So I used my old cloud template (I made it out of cardboard years ago when Stampin' Up sold out of their fancy plastic version!) and sponged some navy ink onto the panel. Instant drama! Yes, it's occurred to me that it wouldn't be cloudy if you can see the stars, but I'm claiming artistic license here, lol!

We can't wait to see what you come up with for this week's Cue Card.

Don't forget to see what the other members of the design team made:

  6. Very dramatic, Ardyth! I think it looks like the view from above cloud level, so it works for me!

  17. Gorgeous cloud sponging! No matter how hard I try I can't wrap my brain around that technique. I have no idea why... As for the star, I think that particular special star can shine through anything! :)
