Here's another card for this week's OLW (Fly Away with Me, Hosted by Heather) and for a challenge I haven't played in a while - Retrosketches, which reminded me of my card from Friday.
I masked a thin line and sponged it with various inks. Once I removed the mask, I stamped this Impress sentiment and a little clear butterfly.
Off to start getting dinner on the table. Our oven is (still) dead and I think that Michael may have finally accepted that it's time for a new one. In the meantime, our pizza will be cooked on a pizza stone in the bbq - I'm becoming quite good at getting the timing right!
Its amazing how just a little bit of colour can carry such punch, beautiful card. Love it
ReplyDeleteOooh, Ardyth, a slender rainbow with an equally slender sentiment ... just splendid, it's FABULOUS! Pizza ... yum ... bon appetit! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo so cool!!
ReplyDeleteLove this card, Ardyth! I thought I went CAS, but I think you may have taken it a step further, LOL! When you get your oven back, you'll probably still want to use the BBQ for pizza, now that you've perfected your technique! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell I don't have the excuse of not having an oven...but we're having the same thing...pizza on a stone! Love your card...the colors are dramatic with the subtle sentiment.
ReplyDeletePizza on the BBQ: fabulous #1! Fabulous #2 - your card here with its eye-catching strip of colour and simple sentiment is powerful! Fabulous #3 - your warm comments on my teensy arrow CAS-olgy card! Day brightened immensely! Off to gaze at more of your lovely creations!!

What a clever take on the sketch Ardyth...love that rainbow coloured ink. Mmmm...stone cooked pizza...making me hungry....
ReplyDeleteA beautiful CAS card, Ardyth. Your rainbow strip is the perfect ground for your butterfly to fly over.
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow stripe is so clever and good looking
ReplyDeleteOh, your dinner sounds wonderful...how fun to cook pizza on the grill. Your card is wonderful too, such a sweet way to say thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card. So simple, so the colors really stand out. I love your sponged inks.
ReplyDeleteI love how powerful one thin line can be on a card! Gorgeous spectrum of colors Ardyth, and your sentiment and butterfly are the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful masked line!
ReplyDeleteLove your rainbow line. A great take on the sketch.
ReplyDeleteThis is great inking and stamping! A beautiful card! Good luck with surching for a new oven; the reading comes first most of the time... Inky greeetings, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteLove this card, you're so clever at making the simple look amazing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a tiny area of colour, but so strong - love it!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Love the way the colours are blended and the fab clean, crisp edges! You rock clean and simple!!
ReplyDeleteNow who would think to focus on the line in this sketch?! Silly question. It has to be Ardyth, the master of CAS.
ReplyDeleteNothing tastes better than pizza done on the BBQ! Have you tried throwing in some wood chips? Creates a delicious wood smoked pizza!
ReplyDeleteLove the colors you used - they remind me of the chewy taffy sticks from years ago (you're too young to remember!). The sentiment looks awesome 'grounded' by the stamped line.
