CAS card with modified sentiment for WSC483

Hello! It’s time for a new Weekly Sketch Challenge at the MFT Blog (WSC483). I made a CAS card with a modified sentiment using a bunch of “older” favorites of mine.

This week’s sketch is so perfect, that I followed it almost to a T. The only thing I did, was to flip it, so that the fishtail of the banner, points the other way. I used the tag from the Gift Tag Die-namics, to cut a window in my A2 panel and then I did some ink blending directly on the cardbase.

I used Premium Dye Inks in the following colors, for this: Blu Raspberry, Cornflower and Lavender Fields. After a soft first layer, I grabbed the Ray of Light Stencil to apply a second, and after moving it slightly, a third layer of ink. I can’t remember where I learned this technique… maybe from Sandy Allnock.

After that, I stamped the fish from the Gill Friends set, on some Copic friendly paper and colored them with the following markers; Y17, Y15, Y13, B06, B02, B01, B00, G14, G43, G40, Yr27, Yr68, Yr65, W3, W1 and W00.

And what about the modified sentiment? I simply:

Masked the stamp from the Bitty Thanks and Gratitude set with some washitape before applying Versamark ink to it.
Partially stamped it.
Moved the piece of Blu Raspberry Card Stock slightly and carefully covered the already stamped text with scratch paper, to protect it.
Stamped the rest of it, leaving out the “h” and heat embossed the modified sentiment in white.

I added a piece of acetate to the back of the panel, because I was going to create a shaker, but later changed my mind. It still fits the fishtank theme perfectly. As a last touch, I added some clear enamel dots.

I hope you enjoyed my simple card today. HERE’s a recent one where I modified one of the cute girls from the BB Unicorns and Glitter stamp set. As always, I now invite you to head on to the MFT Blog to check out what my DT teammates created for this challenge. Join us for a chance to win a $50 gift voucher to the MFT Boutique!
