It's also something I've not been able to recreate. <div><br /></div><div>The magic happened one day when I decided to heat emboss some pattern paper squares to add some interest. In doing so, the reverse side of the paper was bleeding through, and I thought, "Oh, this is a disaster." But the more I gazed at the squares, I fell in love with them. I made a card or two, and then tucked the bag aside. I pulled it out for the challenge. </div><div><br /></div><div>I call this Clean and Layered. I was once told that I was "so linear", and while I don't mind being linear, it wasn't said in the best tone. I'm not sure if that was a compliment. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioBZyEchFbeFUNOHqRUGz8c-IFvegDd6l4vQ1zlt3LWl9uI0hxdLPY8i1-3oiaWo7DQeuDxvKYUrk17BVurAQxWaeqPTKUxWNPoUrG8KH2_Lkq1jFV6EtfMBMtaEtYOgOs-eDf59rHZNwkjL2Pgewd1HoymkR90TPKCYr1Yi8nqzb4gfufjtgkmYGgDXIm/s1382/2023-12-10_20-03-01.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1382" data-original-width="1108" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioBZyEchFbeFUNOHqRUGz8c-IFvegDd6l4vQ1zlt3LWl9uI0hxdLPY8i1-3oiaWo7DQeuDxvKYUrk17BVurAQxWaeqPTKUxWNPoUrG8KH2_Lkq1jFV6EtfMBMtaEtYOgOs-eDf59rHZNwkjL2Pgewd1HoymkR90TPKCYr1Yi8nqzb4gfufjtgkmYGgDXIm/w514-h640/2023-12-10_20-03-01.png" width="514" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>One coat of embossing ink and clear powder was splotchy.

other, but I decided to play out a creation of positive and negative
pieces. I love the outcome on this one. Nothing like a rainbow of
color. </p><p>So which came first? My card for <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Just Us Girls</a> or <a href="http://cleanandsimpleonsunday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">CAS on Friday</a>? <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Just Us Girls</a> had a word prompt of "Rainbow". <a href="http://cleanandsimpleonsunday.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">CAS on Friday</a>
had the prompt of "Friendship". So it started with a rainbow of colors
and a "Friend" die. And I went first to create my card for <a href="http://justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Just Us Girls</a>, taking that rainbow prompt rather seriously. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6D6UqHYUOAnul5EvUnk5FFOHtdS2HbupZ_83cfKiYw6IIKbrPdPxI1tVPlCYTgn6vHQHlqevD-looKgg7_qMKYf41ks5--RsBObL1A07Z5H8nb_31l6N-8nvlvWGawP0C14ncY23lPpXVocA-WTKUeVMF_BdKFMS6h4qmqqSDC2jP651NMnjLRA8adg/s850/JUG%2003-12-2023a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="850" data-original-width="675" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6D6UqHYUOAnul5EvUnk5FFOHtdS2HbupZ_83cfKiYw6IIKbrPdPxI1tVPlCYTgn6vHQHlqevD-looKgg7_qMKYf41ks5--RsBObL1A07Z5H8nb_31l6N-8nvlvWGawP0C14ncY23lPpXVocA-WTKUeVMF_BdKFMS6h4qmqqSDC2jP651NMnjLRA8adg/w508-h640/JUG%2003-12-2023a.jpg" width="508" /></a></div> <p></p><p>I
used temporary adhesive and put the "friend" letters down. I then did
some ink blending over the images to create my rainbow of colors. I
then removed the letters and put them aside for my second card. I
stamped my sentiment in black over the word friend, and then used my
color palette to stamp some stars around my sentiment. I used a blender
pen to color my images and match them to the ink blending. <br /></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN29meqYh3g7j0R-2rCX7mKZX5HEVKroEB7Lnf8Njak1s5-EYx1yORcfvLdgDNAQyiwGaNIG2J95UexQi5FmReT8htnsNVxDP2oMTl2WntOOxTqwVz7iaEirUZpAsQQCtQeAxmnkqOTUYUMmSqVgsQAMeBzsZ0eNEA6L4ylS8T053cHqzWwdKKdCBHhQ/s1254/JUG%2003-12-2023b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="834" data-original-width="1254" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN29meqYh3g7j0R-2rCX7mKZX5HEVKroEB7Lnf8Njak1s5-EYx1yORcfvLdgDNAQyiwGaNIG2J95UexQi5FmReT8htnsNVxDP2oMTl2WntOOxTqwVz7iaEirUZpAsQQCtQeAxmnkqOTUYUMmSqVgsQAMeBzsZ0eNEA6L4ylS8T053cHqzWwdKKdCBHhQ/w640-h426/JUG%2003-12-2023b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> A few sequins and I was done. <p></p><p>Moving to my CAS Card, I had cut the die earlier and was ready to piece my friend letters back into my white background. </p><p>I
suppose a shaker card isn't completely CAS, but I left a lot of white
space! I used some gray striped pattern paper, took the frame from my
original die and put it on my card base centered on the pattern paper. I
popped my colored letters back in, and then created a shaker window
from the frame which was part of the same die that cut the letters. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi70Z0Iy8JHZUanAq_6hudHJr2SrmKZlBDJUFJnV_XmgLeUNkrK2uEJYsjznqetaiVUeqTZ4jIRPg2jALGg1ahlk4G85FvAD4RLbhvmygftJ5lvx6-XakWpyEr8Gnwsje9pmqLL9c_Lf6Be8tHmPNs9qr8e6YjOMsh6xF3Qcw4E44XfOcx6Lx1k-v_abg/s1220/CASFri%203-12-2023a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="568" data-original-width="1220" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi70Z0Iy8JHZUanAq_6hudHJr2SrmKZlBDJUFJnV_XmgLeUNkrK2uEJYsjznqetaiVUeqTZ4jIRPg2jALGg1ahlk4G85FvAD4RLbhvmygftJ5lvx6-XakWpyEr8Gnwsje9pmqLL9c_Lf6Be8tHmPNs9qr8e6YjOMsh6xF3Qcw4E44XfOcx6Lx1k-v_abg/w640-h298/CASFri%203-12-2023a.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p><br />A little acetate, foam strips and clay pieces and done. <br /></p><p></p><p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZwj3XKZPKlzcvpOHKNVanuwpSNz9x7lnqCe_uwS_nj7VPfDcGnm9tjDkpFXO4hrjhJMBnQlIIBtR69jKDu0TWNrl8IQ-L2GulOW0zR6740zWnBUHBz2e-Ogt5PN3wy0JmCslDuJXsS8qFQt6f38YIUMe-G2siT6TXcwC4wYPswb5GBAk9kBc4kQDdow/s1253/CASFri%203-12-2023b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="872" data-original-width="1253" height="446" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZwj3XKZPKlzcvpOHKNVanuwpSNz9x7lnqCe_uwS_nj7VPfDcGnm9tjDkpFXO4hrjhJMBnQlIIBtR69jKDu0TWNrl8IQ-L2GulOW0zR6740zWnBUHBz2e-Ogt5PN3wy0JmCslDuJXsS8qFQt6f38YIUMe-G2siT6TXcwC4wYPswb5GBAk9kBc4kQDdow/w640-h446/CASFri%203-12-2023b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>I love that the letters have some darkness around their edges.

had an XOXO die on my table for a year, and when I saw this challenge I
knew I had to play along. But I had to find some images in the theme.
I dug into my bag of Lawn Fawn images and found this cute little skunk
who was near the top because I had just created a card with skunks a few
months ago. So I set out to color him and make him "real". <br /></p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGtRxi52fLspK514bqlNG_pfzenuzS6jOAz44mWgVIEiDiuoQqeS3Nj9L5_Ho6XiwjyzXegHiKlBkhrOIPVhEXoB4rzsdUzlvJK_AjQ6cyex4Bn0Pybq0J6Lyeo4RKJ594DjgNPcdm1LnBso-tmn8poOpFcSviCfZm5Ov0UO8W0yRBMv6CK1fLdp0B/s877/AC%2003-06-2023a.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="877" data-original-width="696" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGtRxi52fLspK514bqlNG_pfzenuzS6jOAz44mWgVIEiDiuoQqeS3Nj9L5_Ho6XiwjyzXegHiKlBkhrOIPVhEXoB4rzsdUzlvJK_AjQ6cyex4Bn0Pybq0J6Lyeo4RKJ594DjgNPcdm1LnBso-tmn8poOpFcSviCfZm5Ov0UO8W0yRBMv6CK1fLdp0B/w508-h640/AC%2003-06-2023a.jpg" width="508" /></a></div><br />I
ended up digging into my Lawn Fawn stencils to create my background. I
tried a sort of screen print watercolor technique that I like to use.
Essentially I pick up the water and color onto my stencil, and then flip
it to get the stenciled images to show. The water collected near the
heart openings, and I managed to get a few good impressions of some
hearts. I stamped some XOXO's into a few of them, and then set out to
create my scene. <p></p><p>Hardest part of this card was finding the
XOXO die, because while I had that nice pink sparkly one on my table for
a year, I felt my skunk deserved a shadow behind the XOXO to tie him
into the scene. </p><p>This was a fun one - especially that background. Inky fingers!</p><p>I hope you find some time to ink up those fingers. </p><p>Debbie</p><p>
