Bibi's CAS Challenge ART Cards


Hello everyone! Bibi here with some CAS cards that I made for the current CASology challenge. I had meant to make only one card, but while I was working on the first one, two more ideas emerged...  I've obviously been smitten and bitten by the CAS bug!

For the second time this summer, Rubber Dance is sponsoring CASology - a challenge blog that is all about Clean And Simple (CAS). Their challenge's theme this week is ART, and you'll see my art CAS card below - but first, I'll let CASology introduce themselves: 
Welcome to CASology!

Each week, we'll study clean and simple design using a cue word as our inspiration.  The design team will share their CAS creations and a little bit about their designs to inspire you to create a clean and simple card of your own!



  

 Weekly challenges begin Tuesday mornings.
  1. Interpret the word on the weekly cue card however you'd like!  This is about creativity!
  2. Link up your *new* creation (card, tag, scrapbook layout, etc.) here on the CASology blog.
  3. Please add a link back to us on your blog post when submitting your creation.
  4. Please feel free to combine this challenge with other challenges.
  5. Be creative.
  6. Keep it simple.
  7. Have fun!
All submissions are due Mondays at noon, CST/CDT.
(That's 19:00 in Scandinavia and continental Europe, 18:00 in the UK)


For my first ART challenge card, I wanted to use Rubber Dance Mona Lisa stamp and place her into a frame: 


 

The die cut frame (Elizabeth Craft Design) is raised up from the rest of the card, using small pop dots. Mona Lisa is embossed with an old EP from PSX called Verdigris. It smells Divine!! If anyone knows where I can get a hold of those ancient PSX EP's, please let me know. My decades old container of Verdigris is nearly empty, and the smell of this brand brings back some good stamping memories from way back when.


For my second ART challenge card, I wanted to use embossing powders in different colours: Black on the handle and brush, red on the tip of the brush, and silver on the metal part between the brush and the handle. Stamps from Rubber Dance Artist Plate:


Pretty cool, right? Just make sure you pour the EP back in the right container when working with several colours at once!


I tried to get the black EP out of the red one with a tea spoon, only to create a crater into which the black EP ran... so I gave up and just stirred it into the red powder.

For my second ART challenge card, I wanted to see how CAS I could stretch myself ... One word, a few colours and a black frame under the raised panel. I think it looks OK, but I don't know if I would send it to anyone... unless I knew for certain that they were into CAS cards! The stamped letters are from Rubber Dance Alphabet Uno.



Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below. Thank you! ♥

If you haven't done so already, do pop over to the CASology blog and see all the beautiful cards that their creative team has made - some of them with Rubber Dance stamps! I'm so thrilled!! BIG thanks to the CAS team who've done such a great job. *mmmmwwah!*

I'll be back with another CAS card (or two, or three, or ...) in a couple of weeks when I sponsor CASology once more. See you then!



XOX,
Bibi

If you want to see my two previous CASology challenge cards, there is one here (Sunshine) and one here (Masculine). Yup, only two so far - I'm new at this, but lovin' it!

I don't know about the smell, but I have Verdigris from WOW, and it looks very much the same! Lovely cards!

Ah! Ah! A new convert to CAS... It's not that difficult, is it? You're doing great, keep it up! I might join the challenge, time permitting.

What a fabulous trio of cards. Your photo of the embossing powders is one of many reasons I rarely attempt multiple colours at once — the card turned out perfectly, though! And you could send that last card to ANY of the CASology team. ;)

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop:
