Through the rest of this month, the team has decided to showcase CAS cards. CAS stands for Clean and Simple. This means a card with lots of empty space, minimal layers or embellishments, in other words uncluttered.
CAS is definitely out of my comfort zone, but once I started, found it hard to stop. Today, I'm sharing three cards from the lot I made, hopefully managed to find a balance between CAS design and my love for mixed media art.
For all my cards, the background was created by using gesso + white sand texture through a stencil. Gesso ensures that the texture paste gets a bright white color on drying to match the white card stock.
On this one, as there is a contrast already between the texture paste and kraft card stock, no paints were needed, just some embellishments.
On this card, the tiniest amount of watercolors were used through a waterbrush to infuse some color before embellishing with gold stars, title and vellum snowflakes.
I usually make a few card bases together and experiment with different techniques and color combinations. One such piece of card stock was used to cut the three Christmas trees and another such piece was used to mat the card on.The words have been heat embossed with gold embossing powder after stamping with versamark watermark stamp pad.
Thank you for visiting us today.
Don't forget to check back in a couple of days for more CAS card creations from the rest of the team.
Cheers,
Kripa
