Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology. This one is fun and easy, and I sure hope to see a full gallery. Our cue word is BIRTHDAY. How fun is that?
To make my clean and simple birthday card, I used one of my favorite birthday sentiment stamps--from Mama Elephant Make a Wish. I inked up my stamp in Versamark and then with a very unique ink pad called Kaleidacolor. It's got 5 different colors of ink all lined up together, and is great for stamping with multiple ink colors. I clear embossed the sentiment, just to add a little more emphasis to those colors.
Will you play along this week? I sure hope so. What do you think of when you see the word BIRTHDAY? Wouldn't it be great to add some birthday cards to your stash? Check out the beautiful designs from the CASology Design Team members and see how they were inspired by BIRTHDAY. Don't forget to keep your card Clean and Simple.
Thanks for Visiting
Hey Joyce!! I love that multicolor sentiment you created. I have to check that ink pad out. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, bravo! This is a perfect sentiment to ink up with one of those multi-color ink pads! Love the colors, love the stars, and the clear embossing is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOooh what a fab effect, perfect for a sentiment only card, adds just the right amount of interest
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card. I love the multi-colored sentiment.
ReplyDeleteYup Kaleidacolor in the cart. Love this fantastic CAS design Joyce. That sentiment is always so fun--glad I already have it or it would be in the cart too!
ReplyDeleteLove my Kaleidecolor pads - they're a great way to add interest to a single stamp! I also love how you used Versamark so you could emboss it for some shine!
ReplyDeleteLove the multi-colors for your bold sentiment!
ReplyDeleteWow is this ever pretty! Love the colorful ink too. Terrific card Joyce!
ReplyDeleteI love your multi-colored sentiment, Joyce! The colors are so pretty and the effect is really striking!
ReplyDeleteThose colors are awesome!!! Thanks so much for the tip of inking with Versamark first and then the Kaleidacolor thus making it embossible!! What a great thing for me to try out very soon - possibly on my next CAS*ology card!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI just got this stamp. No Kaleidacolor but I'll do something else great with it. Thanks for the inspiration.

ReplyDeleteI like how you did that sentiment and got it embossed. Wonderful card. I'd totally forgotten that Kaleidacolor pads existed.
ReplyDeleteJoyce...you HAVE to STOP using NBUS! Every time I see you use something new I have to have it and this ink is no exception. Just so beautiful the way your sweet birthday sentiment is stamped. I love it and now I need to go shopping, meet me in 30 minutes at the corner!
ReplyDeleteHey, this is awesome! I love how you can get such dramatic impact just by using colour on a sentiment. I need to get some big sentiment stamps Joyce, because this is a stunner technique. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove how fabulous large stamped sentiments can be! And the Kaleidacolor colors make it even more awesome!
ReplyDeleteOhh, what a way to spice up a sentiment that deserves to stand on its own! Really gorgeous card, Joyce!!
