Pammie's Inky Pinkies with CAS_ual Fridays

Hello Again!  Today begins a new challenge week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies and the sponsor this round is the generous CAS_ual Fridays Stamps.

For my design team project, I created a traditional sized slimline card using the "Floating" Stamp Set which is now retired.  The card measures 8.5" x 3.5".

To start, I stamped and heat embossed the Balloon image for an ink resist technique.  I blended Catherine Pooler Inks in the colors of Party Dress, Tiki Torch, Bellini and Limoncello.  Once dried, I rubbed the excess ink sitting on the heat embossing with a Microfiber towel.  

The sentiment is from the same set and stamped with Versafine Onyx Black Ink.  I mounted the sentiment strip on craft foam, matted the focal panel with black card and adhered to a card base of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 lb. cardstock.  Lastly, I added enamel sparkle dots in the same shades as the inks.

Please join us this week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies!  Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - CAS_ual Fridays

Hello and Happy Monday!  I hope your weekend was wonderful and you found some crafty time.  Wow, the 1st day of March and that means a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies.  The theme is Anything Goes with CAS_ual Fridays sponsoring this week.

For my design team project, I used the Floating Stamp Set by CAS_ual Fridays; which happens to be On Sale at the time of this post.

I started by creating a background using the Smooshing Technique with Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers Distress Inks mixed with spritzes of water.  I stamped and heat embossed the Hot Air Balloon and Sentiment, added Gold Stickles to some of the flower centers on the Balloon and Glossy Accents on the Basket and Rope Hearts.  For the final touch, Pink Gems for additional interest.

This is a lovely stamp set with a few more great sentiments.  I love the color combination the Distress Inks create when used together.  Please stop by Pammie's Inky Pinkies this week and enter for your chance to win a Gift Card for CAS_ual Fridays.  

Until Next time, Happy Crafting!
