It is time for a new CASology challenge. Check out the latest challenge – GLASS!
Here is my take:
This week’s challenge is glass. Lots of ideas, but the chemistry stamp set is what held my eye. The sentiment lead to the stamping composition.
The heart is done with chalk to give it the soft foggy look of steam.
I originally was going to make this a one layer card with the stamping smack dab in the middle, but for some reason the paper I chose (which is heavier than my normal fare) bled the outline ink and it didn’t look right. So instead I pulled out my trusty Papertrey white and figured I’d have to die cut it somehow (because PTI paper can’t handle Copics without bleeding). Once I had the image colored, I had to decide the layout of the card. I don’t normally do circles because I find them hard to work with. I wanted to challenge myself, so that is what I used to die cut the scene. I did die cut it a little off center so I could have it off the card edge. I used a pink cardstock panel to help draw the eye to the image (the edge of the pink panel is centered behind the heart/images/sentiment).
Happy with this card, but: (1) wish I could have blended the right-hand beaker contents better (the left one seems so seemless); (2) I think I should have embossed the pink panel with texture (things you see behind the camera after you’re done, sigh).

Super cute. Love the different colors in the beakers. Great work.
I love when things go wrong and it leads to another brilliant idea. This layout is so fun and I don’t think the pink panel needs embossing at all. I love how you colored in the beakers. I have this set somewhere and you’ve inspired me to go dig it out and give it some love!
