CASology Week157: Wings





Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for a new cue word at CASology.  This week, our cue word is WINGS.  It was hard to choose what sorts of wings to feature, but I decided to use Clearly Besotted Flight of Fancy.

I have seen this partial coloring technique quite a bit lately and wanted to give it a try.  I stamped my butterflies on a card front, after lightly outlining the size of the rectangle I knew I would cut after stamping.  I wanted to make sure that each butterfly would have a section on the raised rectangle as well as a section outside that rectangle.

After stamping my butterflies, I used a Memory Box Cross Stitched rectangle to cut out the center section.  I used my Ziggies without water to color in the butterfly wings on the rectangle.  Then, I replaced that rectangle, popping it up with a piece of fun foam.  Everything colored got a big coating of WOS.


I am also entering this card over at Just Add Ink #272 where their challenge is Butterflies.



Now, it's your turn.  How are you inspired by WINGS?  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.

    Definitely a bold, fresh & fun card, Joyce. Your beautifully coloured butterflies really pop off the page. The script 'wishes' sentiment works so well with the curvy butterfly images too. Thanks for playing at Just Add Ink this week.

    Great design, Joyce, with only one half of each butterfly colored and the rectangle layer matched up perfectly. I need to try this technique one of these days. The Summer is flying by, and I've found little time to stamp. My lust of needed cards keeps growing and growing.

    This technique is so pretty! Perfect choice for butterfly wings! Thank you for your explanation too, because I am definitely going to give it a try now. I love how you have used the same colours across all three butterflies, but swapped out the colours for the middle one. Stunning Joyce!!

    I love the spotlight coloring of your magnificent butterflies, Joyce. I'm just getting here to comment but I've also seen Michele's and Barb's CASE of this card. They did you proud.
