I am thrilled to be here today as Guest Designer at AAA Cards. This challenge was my very first Design Team gig back in 2015, and the start of a wonderful run of design teams for me over the course of time. It was here that I really developed an understanding of CAS which was not easy to grasp at the time because I started my "stamping career" with lots of layers. I grew to love the genre and to design for other CAS challenges including Less Is More.
For my card, I stamped this gorgeous leaf directly on the card base and added 3 sequins as a small embellishment in keeping with the sketch. I embossed the stamped image with clear embossing powder then colored it with DO Inks. I then used the mask that comes with the stamp and sprayed the aperture with clear shimmer spray to bring out the colors and shine. I love the way it turned out.
Thanks to the AAA team for having me as Guest Designer for this challenge. It was fun to be able to design for this challenge once again.
Please head over to the AAA Cards Challenge and see what the Design Team has created for your inspiration, then join us in the gallery. I can't wait to see how the sketch inspires you. Happy crafting!
