CASology Week 156: Line




Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for a new cue word at CASology.  This week, our cue word is LINE.  So many different ways to go with this one--I wish I had more time.

I decided to pull out my fine line markers and draw some lines on my card.  Yes, that is with a pen and not with a stamp.  They are wonky on purpose, and I drew a frame around my focal point, which is a die cut flower from Ellen Hutson, cut out of Raspberry Fizz paper and embellished with a tiny rhinestone in the center.



While I've got you here, I will share another card that I made when my crafty friends, Kim, Cathy and Marybeth came over for a visit.  We did more talking and laughing than crafting, but we did all practice water coloring with my Ziggies using the same stamp.  Here is my version.


I am so very lucky to have made such wonderful crafty friends, and even luckier that I get to hang out with some of them in real life.  Even Sherlock the dog hung out with us most of the day.




Now, back to CASology and our cue word LINE.  How are you inspired by LINE?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

Head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.

  7. I love, love, LOVE that watercolor card with the triangles. It brings inner peace to my heart. Yeah, I'm a bit weird about triangles. The hand drawn frame card is great too. I used to do wonky frames and borders a lot, now I never think of it.

  11. What a creative frame for your flower Joyce, and I love your wonky doodle ( that reminds me of Yankee Doodle and now I'll have that tune in my head all day!). How fabulous that you were all able to get together for a crafty day, and you are pushing me towards 'needing' those zig pens.

  13. Joyce....love both of your cards, they are just as beautiful on the computer as they were in person. It was so impressive to see watch you draw those lines on your first card, you are so talented. And your second card using your ziggies is so fabulous, looks like a piece of stained glass. Thank you again for the amazing time at you house, it is always such a wonderful treat.

  15. WOW, what great cards, Joyce!!!! And did you really draw those lines by hand???? ...it looks fantastic framing your flower so beautifully!!! (no way I can try adding anything to a card by hand drawing of writing ...just not artistic enough to do that ...I will mess up my whole card!!! LOL!!!)
    And the second card is painted so perfectly in the lovely rainbow colours!!! Beautiful and so striking!!!!
    Love the photo of you and your friends - sounds as if you had a great time!!!
    Have a great day!!!
