I stamped and heat embossed with Gold EP and added a PaperArtsy sentiment. I've coloured the main flower with Shaded Lilac Oxide ink and some Seedless Preserve on the other, along with Twisted Citron.
Now I just need to master the CAS style on white card as I always seem to get inky finger marks everywhere!
I am entering this at Allsorts where the theme this week is Sentiment in Focus
Thanks for calling in,

ReplyDeleteBeautifully CAS. I love the pop of colour on the black cardstock too. Have a lovely weekend xx
ReplyDeleteLove this one Avril, so effective with that oxide coloured flower - a lovely style for this creation xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh Avril - your creation is so beautiful. I have never tried this technique but I think I am going to have to give it a go.
ReplyDeleteI have ruined some cards with inky finger prints, now I keep a wet wipe next to me where I can clean my hands. I also wash my hands several times. I love painting with my various inks and watercolors.
Once again, your card is gorgeous!

Wow - what a beautiful and elegant card!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite Carabelle stamps and I absolutely love how you created this card! I know exactly what you mean about the inky finger marks - any CAS card I make usually ends up being at least my second attempt!! Hugs,Chrisx
