Together Forever : Chipboard CAS Card

~ Sathya ~ 9 Comments

Hi Bloggy pals,

It’s CAS card again this time. Though I ardently love making textures and layers, CAS amazes me equally with all those white spaces, which speaks tons of emotions. I admire a lot of CAS crafters, who aesthetically work on focal elements and brings in Minimalistic versions.
Yes, It’s yet another card using Brusho, my most favorite watercolors. Love to create visual textures with it.

  • Took a watercolor panel and played with Brusho crystal – Orange for an abstract look at one corner of the card.
  • Then took MUDRA chipzeb and sponged with MUDRA Mai jet black ink.
  • Stamped an appealing sentiment from MUDRA together forever stamp set with 2 hearts on the lower portion of the card.
  • Added the chipboard using liquid adhesive.
  • Mounted this panel to A2 sized black cardbase to finish off this card.
Hope you like it!
