Hi everyone,
Welcome to the start of the April CAS Christmas Challenge! This month is hosted by our talented Designer, Trina (Phamtastic Design), and she wants you to make a Rainbow-themed CAS Christmas card. How fun, right?
We have a wonderful Guest Designer this month, Izzy (Izzy Scrap). Welcome, Izzy!
Here's my card with rainbow colors:
[How I made the card]
1. Die-cut houses and trees from masking paper, and placed them in the center of a piece of watercolor paper.
2. Sprinkled Brusho around the die-cut houses and trees, and spritzed some water.
3. After the watercolor paper was completely dry, peeled off the masking paper.
4. Silver heat-embossed the sentiment.
5. Adhered the watercolor piece to the card case.
You have until April 24th to link up your card here. I hope you play along with us and build your stash of Christmas cards throughout the year.
Paper: Watercolor Paper (Artistico Extra White - Fabriano, 140 lbs), Basic White (Stampin' Up!)
Ink: VersaMark (Tsukineko)
Paint: Brusho (Crimson, Orange, Yellow, Sea Green, Cobalt Blue, Prussian Blue, Purple)
Hideko, what a awesome card with your brushos rainbow surrounding your houses.
ReplyDeletewonderful loose watercolour effect with the brusho, I love your rainbow background it's such a pretty effect :)
ReplyDeleteI always love to come here and see what interesting technique you have used on your cards Hideko! This is so lovely with the watery rainbow colors around the white houses - such a creative idea and beautiful effect! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique card, Hideko! I love how you chose to use the rainbow theme! The masked houses stayed perfectly white and the rainbow of brushos is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Hideko - I can't even imagine a more wonderful rainbow for Christmas! I spy my favorite little houses! Absolutely fabulous!

How clever of you, Hideko to die cut your village with masking tape and then add the Brushos over the masked village. It must have been fun removing the tape to see your sweet village with all the rainbow colored Brushos:-) Your card turned out awesome, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the effects of Brushos with your little houses, Hideko...Such a fun idea and your silver embossed sentiment is fabulous ~ xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card! Love your interpretation my friend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a creative way to incorporate the rainbow colours and the brusho's look artsy and fabulous. Fun idea to use the masking technique and wow does it look good Hideko x.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your design Hideko! Such a fun and artsy card with the splashes of rainbow colours and white embossed houses. LOVE IT! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat masking Hideko and I love the colourful rainbow bursts from the brushos, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteI never would have thought of using Brushos for a rainbow (mine would have been a muddy brown mess!), but yours turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL Hideko!! I love being able to see just the hint of your little village behind all that glorious color...lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYour rainbow brushos are gorgeous with the houses with the foreground. So clever to use it this way Hideko! And to have the colors remain true to their color!
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous and so clever, Hideko ! Love how the Brushos burst over the watercolour paper to make a stunning rainbow background for these little cottages. A fabulous technique of masking that I have to try ! Thanks so much for welcoming me as guest designer this month. x
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome control of the Brushos, Hideko! What a beautiful way to show off the sweet village! Wow!
ReplyDeleteSo impressed with your control and use of Brushos! This is so beautiful and creative! Looks like a magical display of fireworks above the village. Love it!
