SYS2 Day 7&8 and CTS89 - Just a note

Another post from me today, yay! In my hurry to get this card posted, the HA Pale tomato and Orange soda inks are still a bit blotchy (the Memento Dandelion ink gave full coverage at once), but I'm trusting the ink will even out. Day 7&8 of the SYS2 online card class were about using graphic stamps. As it turns out, I don't have many of those, but I assumed the backside of one of the tag stamps of the Tiny tags stamp set by Simon Says Stamp would also work. And it did...


I was inspired by the new sketch of CAS(E) this sketch but am now wondering if I followed it too loosely, but hey, there's a panel and a sentiment banner across LOL. The sentiment is from the Everyday Sayings set by Hero Arts. I heat embossed it in white (Artemio) onto a strip of black Simon Says Stamp cardstock. I finished the card off with some gold sequins from Darice.


I'm also entering this card into the following challenge:
A Blog Named Hero - 50 Ombre
Addicted to CAS - 45 Geometric

  1. You know something: it would be quite an effect as well if the ink remained blotchy! Such a nice card!

  2. Thank you for the sweet comment you posted on my SAF card ;) I just came here to take a look at your blog and now I realize that we both participated in SYS2 as well. Fun! I love this card and I think I'll have to give it a go using the Avery Elle Rounded Diamonds since I bought that set for the SYS2 class.
