CASology: Space

Hello Everyone,

The cue card over at CASology is space; I am interpreting that as use of white space. I have created this simple card to fill the bill.

I used the dove from Paper Smooches "A Blessed Christmas". I have had this set for awhile and had never used this little image. I paired it with a sentiment from another Paper Smooches set. I love the simplicity. Just to break the white space up a smidge, I die cut the main panel using an SSS stitched rectangle die. I also covered the dove and the sentiment with some sparkle using my Wink of Stella and Sakura glitter gel pen. Here is how sparkly this looks.

I love the way it turned out. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will let me know what you think!

Happy Stamping,

Meg

Hello Everyone,

I am super-excited and honoured to be guest designer at CAS(e) this Sketch this week. Here is my card:

I got the candle die from Memory Box recently and went nuts foiling with my new Minc Mini. I love the results. Here is a close-up

I hope you will play along with the sketch challenge. Be sure to check out the CAS(e) this Sketch blog.

CASology Cue Card: Candle

Hello Everyone,

For a long time I have been mourning the loss of my favourite local craft store: Heather's Stamping Haven. I was not only an enthusiastic customer, but I also taught classes there too. When Heather decided to retire, she was not able to find a buyer for the store:( Recently I discovered another store in the Ottawa area. It is a little far for me - it is in the very east end of the city and I now live 40 minutes west of the city - but, let me tell you it is worth the drive. So, what does all this have to do with CASology's cue card: Candle? Well, when I went to check this store out, I bought a most beautiful Memory Box Candle die. How perfect is that. Here is the card I made.

I die cut several candles and layered them for dimension. I love the white on white look, but I wanted just a pop of colour - hence the red sentiment from Paper Smooches. I also went over the die cut with my glitter gel pen for just that added touch of sparkle. I love the way it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by. I love to hear your feedback, so feel free to leave a comment.

Happy Stamping,

Meg
