Time Out #36

Hello!

It was great to see all of your nature inspired creations for our last challenge at Time Out and our next challenge is equally fun!  This time we are CASeing this fabulous card by the talented Alice Wertz:


How fabulous is this?!  It is one of the most fun cards that I have seen for some time and is  bursting with personality - just like Alice :)  Do go and check out her great blog Alice's Little Wonderland!

I really love my cactus stamps from Hero Arts so Alice's smiley cactus gave me the perfect excuse to ink it up:


I inked up a grid stencil with antique linen distress ink to create a faded background and then stamped the cactus and pop.  I should really have masked them but actually I think the way the grid shows through on the cactus adds to the texture and realism of the plant.  I shaded the side of the pot with my spectrum noir pencils too.  A sticky heart and hugs sentiment (also Hero Arts) also refer to Alice's inspiration card.

The rest of the DT have more CASE inspiration for you along with our GD, Rema who is a regular challenge player and produces really stand out designs - her blog, RTImpressions is well worth a visit!

I will also link this up at the CAS July challenge over at A2Z Scrapbooking.

Have fun with this cool design!

Thanks for stopping by,

Sarah x

    I think you are right about the texture from the grid and the added shading also helps. Great take on Alice's card

    I agree...I think the grid showing through the cactus as a natural texture! Beautiful CAS design and fabulous color combo, Sarah!
