This post is a mid checkpoint to remind you all that we have an awesome challenge going on at ICR. We DTs are bringing you second set of inspirations to motivate you all to join in and play if you have not done it already.

About the challenge:
It's all about CAS cards! But as usual we have a twist. the twist is to use something new. Anything you never used before or any technique you wanted to try for long. This is your chance now. Come and play along!

Now the fun part! Prizes!!!
Our sponsor for this time is Craftshop.in and Rs 500 worth goodies as Prize!

We're also announcing a special giveaway for participants who will play our challenges every month consecutively from January to April 2016. It has 2 Paper smooches stamp set, 1 Penny Black stamp set, 2 My Mind's eye paper pads and 4 Simon says stamp min ink pads. If there are more than one, we will do a lucky draw!

Here is my inspiration!

If you know me by now, I have developed a habit.. don't know if it's good or bad, I cannot stop myself at one card.. I made 5 of these! Have a look below!

I used MFT Paisley stencil and distress inks to create the background. Since the stencil is larger than the card size and I wanted a border, I used washi tape to mask the edges. I then stamped the sentiment using PTI wet paint stamp set. Both stencil and sentiment stamp is new from my stash. 

I hope you are inspired a little to try CAS cards.. To see complete details regarding this challenge and to check out what my fellow DT has created, please login to ICR.

I would like to enter into following challenges :

1. A Blog Named Hero - One Layer card
2. Paru's cardmaking challenges - "New" - MFT Paisley stencil and PTI Wet paint stampset is new for my stash

Have a great weekend!

AlteNew one layer CAS cards

Hi All,

Quickly sharing a set of cards I made. I love making multiple cards as supplies are already out and if design cane be mass produced nothing like it. I wanted to use AlteNew Painted flowers stamp set and also wanted to try stamping on colored cardstock. So I made 11 one layer cards at once. Misti reduced the time I needed to try multiple color combinations by many folds. I totally love my Misti tool. Even to stamp a little sentiment, I use Misti.. :P

I first selected my colors for the cardstock. I love the PTI cardstock as it's thick and comes in lovely colors. Then I selected by inks. Basically I used 3 sets of inks; reds, blue and yellows...  and decided which cardstock will go with which family of inks..

Since it's colored cardstock, I first stamped the base flower stamp with white ink. It helps in bringing out the true color of inks. I used Misti to prepare the design and stamped the base flowers on the cardstocks.. Then I went ahead to stamp rest of the layers..

Since there is nothing much do to on one layer cards, I added a border by using MFT basic stitched lines. I love this die set too.. It comes as a set of 6 with different designs. I hope you liked the cards.

I want to play along with following challenges :

1. Simon Says Stamp - Something New - Used my new Painted Blooms stamp set from AlteNew

2. A blog named hero - One Layer

3. CASology - Simple

4. Seize The Birthday - Anything Goes (All are birthday cards. You will never have enough :) )

5. Paru's Card making challenges - Keyword "NEW"

Thank you and have a great day!
