Another card today! This time I was looking through my index for another challenge when this one came to me; for the CASology: Hero challenge and the latest CAS(e) this Sketch.

      

Here is my card:

When I first saw the “hero” cue card, I figured I wouldn’t be participating because I don’t have any of the comic book type stamps (mostly because I haven’t found a set that has what I want). I went on to stamp for another challenge, but as I was looking through my index, I saw the Paper Smooches Chemistry set and realized that scientists are heroes. I didn’t have a sentiment that I wanted, so I looked up the Smarty Pants set and it all came together. And with the light bulb going on – this card can be for any thinker: scientists, teachers, and philosophers. (Oooh, Astronauts could be another card. I really need 4 day weekends!!)

I’m playing along in the Less is More challenge (check out their new blog design & logo!!).

When I first saw this challenge, I wanted to do blues & purples. Not sure what changed my mind (besides the fact that I love autumn leaves).

To ink the images, I started with my lightest color, partially inked with the next color and used a sponge to soften the lines. After I stamped that, I went back and partially inked the stamp with the darkest color, again using a sponge to soften the edge – and over stamped the original impression. I added a few sequins in the same colors as the ink (or well, as close as I could get).

Thanks for taking a peek!

Today’s card is for the Addicted to CAS challenge whose code word is Pet.

Here is my card:

I’ve had this robot set for a while now, but haven’t used it. When I was checking my index for a pet, I saw this little robot dog and wanted to use it.

Since the robots are grey, I added my color with the accents.

The sentiment is created on a computer and printed onto the cardstock.

Thanks for taking a peek!
