CAS Mix Up Reminder: Rainbow with Stencil

Hello everyone!  It's time for our CAS Mix Up reminder:  Rainbow ink blending or colors, and a stencil must be used on your card.  I honestly never did much with rainbow colors until this challenge, but now...  somebody stop me!

My stylized scene has a blend of water and sky with a setting sun.  Rules out the window.  Imagination required in this fantasy world.  I hope my card imparts a sense of peace and happiness.



Clean and simple is a rule for this challenge.  My card's 3 1/2" width narrows down the available white space, but I would definitely call it CAS.


 


Our team and guest designer, Michele, have a whole new batch of inspiring samples today, and the CAS Mix Up gallery is looking mighty pretty and colorful with all the card submissions.  Have some fun and join us with your card, too!  Don't forget to use a stencil.

Sending happy wishes to all!


Stamps:  Hero Arts Moments sentiment  Paper:  Neenah Classic Crest Super Smooth Solar White 110 lb, SU Real Red, Brilliant Blue & Yoyo Yellow  Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black, SU Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Yoyo Yellow, Green Galore, Bashful Blue, Brilliant Blue, Orchid Opulence  Other:  Echo Park Sail Away Stencil, Memory Box Stitched Circle Layers, Impression Obsession Sailboats

Wow! That is an awesome design. I love the scene you created with the stencil and all those pretty colors. It sure looks like you were having lots of fun making this card too!

Margaret said...

I love it. The colors are so vibrant. What a fun time it inspires to be lazily drifting on the water's currents. It was always fun times to be out on the water in my dad's boat. It wasn't a sailboat, but still a boat on the water.

Your rainbow of colors is delightful! The cut out for the sun is brilliant, if you'll forgive the pun. Love this fanciful card, Leslie! It is perfectly clean and simple and I like the crisply stamped sentiment on the side.
