Monochromatic CAS


 Isn't there a saying that goes something like: there's nothing simple about clean and simple? 

Or no, is it just me? Anyway, I tried my hand at a CAS card today, inspired by this video the ladies at Double Trouble shared. 

To create my card, I stamped the branch multiple times in multiple directions -- the darkest impressions were inked two or three times while the lighter ones were stamped once. Then I added an embossed sentiment -- truth is, I planned to emboss it in white and I thought I'd picked up the white EP, but it turned out to be clear. However, I think the clear EP works just fine, adding another shade of blue to the card. The final touch was adding three small, clear sequins, for the tiniest bit of sparkle.

This is an excellent technique for creating masculine cards, too.

This card is entered in these challenges:
