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:
Ardyth your background is just fabulous! Great Christmas card.

ReplyDeleteStrikingly elegant, Ardyth! I love it!
ReplyDeleteVery stylish and lovely, Ardyth!
ReplyDeleteVery dramatic, Ardyth! I think it looks like the view from above cloud level, so it works for me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty Ardyth.
ReplyDeleteI'd chalk up the cloud/star thing to the magic of Christmas! :P I've seen sponged cloud bg's before, but not for night -- it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOh la la...love how you inked up the clouds..the perfect touch!

ReplyDeleteWell, except, IMHO, you would see THAT star, right?! It is stunning and good for you for making your own template out of cardboard!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous background, Ardyth. Thank you for your embossing tips.

ReplyDeleteVery creative with the clouds and I'm sure you would see that particular star, clouds or not. :-)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card!
Nice "night" card! On the darkest nights, the stars shine brightest. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous 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! :)
ReplyDeleteLove that background! Wouldn't have thought to make clouds on a dark background...DUH! Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteI like your clouds Ardyth. The star is shining through them! x
