My third week as a Guest Designer on the Sunday CAS challenge at The Outlawz and I'm truly enjoying it. I've done a couple of very simple cards so far, and this week is also CAS but with some layers and dimension used in the design. We have a new theme this week and it's one everybody loves - Anything Goes! I used an image from Sweet Pea Stamps called "Sugar and Snowball" and took the opportunity to add one more card to my Christmas stash.
I used my ProMarkers to color the image and then cut it into a square. The red CS I used for the die cut frame has been hiding in my Christmas stash for nearly 3 years. It's very heavy duty and one side is polished so that it shines. This time, I chose to use the matte side because it worked better with the image colors and was much easier to photograph.
Once matted, I added the entire piece to the card front, giving me layers but without a lot to distract the eye. Afterall, I was after a CAS design but I wanted some layers and texture. The sentiment is printed, hand-cut and matted, and adhered with dimensional dots.
