CAS(E) this Sketch #97

Good Afternoon!
My entry to the CAS(E) this Sketch #97.

 This week's sketch at the CAS(E) this Sketch #97 is wonderful but I just couldn't get an idea what to make out of it. And more importantly I wanted to create something that is special since my dear blog friend Hannelie is guest designing at the CTS this week. Hannalie's blog Desert Diva - on a creative journey is one my favorite place to visit in blogland - she is so creative and talented! Congrats Hannelie! 

 Anyhow, this card was inspired by the sketch but also inspired by Therese Calvird's technique: altering your dies. Her blog is also one of my other favourite blog's to visit to get inspiration; her colouring skills are also amazing! 

 I watercolored the magnolias from Altenew with Victorian Velvet and Spun Sugar Distress Inks. The honeycomb die and the branch die are from Marianne Design. I embossed the background with Clear Matt Dull Embossing Powder by WOW and inked Memento Sand Ink to give it some contrast. The sentiment is also from Altenew.

 Here is the sketch from this week's challenge:

Thank you for stopping by today! I am always pleased to hear what you think! Have a Wonderful Day!

    Onpa upea kortti taaasen... Mietin tässä että millä leimaat nuo kukat ennen värittämistä -sillä spun sugarilla ehkä? Kun näyttävät niin "äärivivattomilta". :) Aivan ihana on!

      Vähän vaihtelee, mutta jollakin hyvin haalealla värillä ja vesiohenteisella. Nämä kukat oon värittänyt niin kauan aikaa sitten, että menee arvauksen puolelle, mutta luulen, että se oli Spung Sugar tai Antique Linen, joka tapauksessa joku vesiohenteinen muste, jolloin se liukenee värittäessä ja blendaa muuhun. Siinä "poppy" kortissa, mikä on Inkspirationalissa taisin leimata ääriviivat taas Memento Sand- tai Lulu Lavender musteella, jolloin ne jäi haaleasti näkyviin sen vesivärin takaa.

      Jotain tämän suuntaista arvelinin! Kiitos! Olen joskus värittänyt Copiceilla haalealla leimatun päälle (ei siis ääriviivaleima vaan ns. solid, apua kun ei tiedä mitä nää termit on suomeksi!) ja sillä ttekniikalla tulee kiva tulos, tätäkin pitää kokeilla. Saa nähdä uskallanko ottaa vesivärit vai pitäydynkö tusseissa. :) Viikonloppuja!
