CASology 208 - Journey


This week's CASology Cue Card is Journey!



I am far behind on making cards for my Church Christmas Card project (information here), and the summer is a good time to catch up (kids are away at camp!). And this week's Cue Card provides the perfect inspiration!

Masking and sponging distress ink is not always thought of as particularly clean, but if you limit it to about 1/3 of your card and ensure that there's lots of white space, it can work really well! I'm using this 'colouring' method for Day 22 of #thedailymarker30day colouring challenge via Instagram.

I used:
-Stampin' Up Come to Bethlehem
-Distress inks (Mustard Seed, Broken China, Chipped Sapphire)
-Avery Elle Double-Pierced Rectangle die

The nice thing about sponging a smaller area like this is that you can whip up 24 of these pretty quickly!



Now it's your turn. Summer is a perfect time for travelling - we can't wait to see your Journey cards! Make sure you stop by the rest of the DT for more inspiration:
