CASology Week 159: Aquatic





Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for another challenge at CASology.  Our cue word this week is AQUATIC.  I went with a straight forward interpretation and used the cute little sail boat from PTI Guiding Lights.  For the waves/water, I created a stencil out of the Lil Inker Leaf Pattern Cover Up die and then sponged a variety of Distress inks over the stencil.  



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

    That darling boat looks like it's having quite a sail over those stenciled "leaf" waves, Joyce. Great card!

    How clever are you with that leaf stencil?? I never would have guessed. It makes the best waves, and that little boat looks adorable perched upon the waves. Such a lovely card!

    Oh I LOVE this. You probably know by now how much I love all things ocean. I am picturing you and me in this sailboat going at quite a clip with the wind in our hair. Love the stencil and the way the color fades at the top, and the placement of the sentiment. Fabulous!

    What a great aquatic card Joyce and what a genius idea to use the leaf cover up die to make the sea part!
    Have a great weekend.

    The way you made the sea is very clever. It makes me think of how the sunlight reflects off the waves. Very nicely done! Happy sailin!

    Hey Joyce!! Great minds think alike. I love your die cut sailboat. It is so cute. I also love how you tilted it to make it appear to be riding the waves. Nicely done.
