Hi everyone,
We have a new challenge over at AAA Cards – this week the theme is Masculine, and we have a $20 voucher to give away thanks to our sponsors, Stampendous. Also joining us this week is guest designer Joyce from Cards-By-The-Sea. Go check out her blog, she’s fabulous and a wonderful inspiration!
So, onto my card this week. I wanted to make something super CAS, but I also didn’t want it to be ‘white’ white space. I went for a very dark, almost navy blue cardstock by Papertrey ink and embossed it with the AWESOME We R Memory Keepers Next Level embossing folder. I then adhered it to a card base of the same color using double sided tape.
I then diecut the word birthday from some bright green glittery fun foam (adhesive on one side) using a die from PTI’s Birthday Trio. I also die cut a PTI speech bubble from Neenah Solar white 80lb card stock and inked the top half edge with Twisted Citron Distress ink. I embossed a Hello sentiment (which for the life of me I cannot remember which set it was from) using Zing embossing powder in Cricket.
To finish the card I adhered the speech bubble with 3M foam tape, adhered the Birthday die cut over the top and added foam tape behind the part of the word that did not overlap the speech bubble to make sure it lay level.
That’s it! I hope you enjoyed the card, and got inspired to go CAS without actually using white space. We do hope you’ll join in the fun this week!
Have a wonderful day,
Jenny
That is one spectacular embossed blue background! And I love how the sparkly foam birthday seems to be floating above it.
I do love that EF what a cool design it gives. Adore the green glitter. I just got some glitter fun foam and wow it is fab, much better than glueing dies like I used too xx
Love those embossing folders. They give such great interest to cards and yours is fabulous. I love the die cut fun foam with the glitter. Great card!
Such embossing looks perfect for a non-whte CAS-card!
Wow, I am going to have to have that EF as soon as I can get it! Looks fantastic with that blue background as does that bright green. Love the speech bubble, and the sparkles on "birthday". Fantastic card!!
This is gorgeous. I love the look of that embossing–adds so much dimension.
I am swooning to the moon and back over this card Jenny! Love the bold blue BG, next generation embossing is so cool (that folder has been on my wish list for so long … it's always out of stock) and the pop of lime green against the BG! WOW! Simply fabulous card for loads of occasions and perfect for the guys. Sarah x
LOVE, love, love this card! Fabulous CAS masculine card – and now I need that embossing folder! 🙂
Wonderful choice of colours, a really awesome card!
