CAS Blog Hop at Just Inklined

Good morning, good morning!  Hopefully you are all having a fine day, and now to top it off, it's our monthly Blog Hop at Just Inklined.  This time it's a clean and simple theme, and of course that's always open to different interpretations. (lol!).  If you have arrived here from Heidy's blog, you're doing good!  Otherwise you may want to start back at the beginning at Jak's blog.  You really don't want to miss any of the DT's gorgeous projects....plus....there are 5 hidden spot prizes for those that leave comments!


 I've made two cards for today, to show you a CAS card that you can make again and again.  This background paper is a freebie from Jak that you can find here on her blog.  Before printing it out, I played with it in Photo Shop, adding the Rose image (or A4 Digi Sheet).  By removing the white background from the image, but leaving the rose white, it allows you to colour the image with your choice of medium after you print it out.  I've used Promarkers and then Prisma pencils for the shading.  It goes without saying, this lets you make any number of cards in a variety of different colours.

You might even want to add some bling!  But hats off to anyone who uses these swirls...I found them very tricky to apply.  There's a first time for everything, but sometimes there's a last! (lol)

So now you need to go have a look see what gorgeous eye-candy Jeni has to show you.  I hope you've enjoyed the hop, and found a few new fun ideas to inspire you.  Happy crafting!

    Hi Joyce. This is a lovely card. I like the way you've combined the backing paper and the digi image. Thanks for posting photos of both cards to show how they can be different.

    Oh wow! TWO cards to goggle at! And what a treat they both are too! :0)
    Those swirls are lovely and well worth the effort. Did you use the plastic templates for them? If so my trick is to mark them off with light pencil dots, then stick my gems or glitter glue over the top afterwards.
    Makes the job so much easier! :0)

    Great cards, both of them! I can totally empathise with you regarding "first time for everything, sometimes a last!" - that made me chuckle. I often feel like that. Thanks for sharing.

    Wonderful card, I thought I was the only one who had trouble with the bling. It was well worth the trouble it caused you, the card is great.
