hello stampers!
We have the latest challenge for you - it's a great sketch at CAS colours and sketches designed by Laura. She has designed it as a square card but you can choose to change it to a different shaped card. I kept it square and centred the focal area, but only gave the illusion of 2 of the squares.
To give you an idea of size, the card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and the squares are each 1 1/2". This left a border of about 1 1/4" all around the squares.
I wanted to create different layers so I die cut out 1 square then reverse stencilled the card panel behind. Another square was embossed, ink smooshed and adhered on top of the front card panel. The little cogs were die cut from ink smooshed card then adhered across the last 2 squares. Such a fun one, I think I have a new favourite colour combo!
Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the gallery!
- dies: Gummiapan cogs, safety set, Trinity Stamps bitty tags, Hero Arts infinity squares

- sentiment: Honey Bee Stamps bitty buzzwords

I love layers Rachel and your card is a great example of how you can layer yet still keep things feeling distinctly CAS. Great colouring on those cogs too - they look properly aged and distressed. Your card has so much depth - not just layers, but each element carefully considered. Just fab!
ReplyDeleteThat's absolutely gorgeous Rachel - those cog die cuts are a brilliant addition to the squared background! Love it!
