My entries for CAS(E) this Sketch & CASology

Hi! Very, very quick post today since I have only 44 minutes left before the deadline. That is really cutting things fine.

I am entering this card in CAS(E) this Sketch #34

And also CASology's Week 51: Fireworks

My interpretation of these two challenges is this

Supplies used are cream cardstock, gold handmade paper, satin ribbons in red and yellow, assorted gems, Hobby Ideas Crackle Medium and acrylic colours in crimson and chrome yellow. The stamp set is Everyday Sentiments (CPM 078) by Micia. I have used a regular black ink pad by Faber Castell.

Since the CASology cue card was fireworks, I decided to start with a sunburst motif done with crackle medium. I have made this many times on MDF articles and it always looks good. So I used a piece of gold handmade paper and coated it with crackle medium. Then I loaded my brush with both red and yellow and drew out strokes from the center. The most time consuming aspect was drying, which took overnight.

I cut the oval frame and mounted it on double sided tape for added dimension. Then I added assorted gems in different sizes. Some satin ribbons in yellow and red completed the basic card. The sentiment was stamped and again mounted on double sided tape.

I added the green gems at the bottom as the final touch.

Overall, I am quite happy with this card. It is a bit blingier than my regular style. But I think that fits in well with the fireworks theme.

Looking forward to suggestions from you.

Love,

Nan

PS: Also entering this card in the Keep it Simple #17.

Their theme is the sun. And since I have used the sunburst motif, I think it fits in well.

Love,
