CAS Day 8 - Mirror Images


Day 8 at CAS class is about stamping mirror images. I have tried it in the past but never got it right. When I saw Jennifer's video, I was determined to practice and get it right. I did get it, finally!

HB2U

In my previous post I said I am reading a book about how to design cool stuff. So in the book one of the basics is about colours. I wanted to try the colour wheel and make a card. In this card I have tried to use Split Complement colour scheme. Here is the pictorial despcription of split complement colour scheme.

Here is how I used the scheme on my card in a clean and simple way.

HB2U card

Lots of white space, focal image above the eye level and because the focal image is bright and catches the eye, the senitment is short and simple.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Stampser's Select White cardstock from Papertrey Ink
Pattern Paper: from my stash
Stamp sets: Boy Basics Game on and Fly away from Papertrey Ink
Ink: Stazon Black Ink
Accessories: Three different sizes of circle punches and Corner Chomper.

Light Pink, Yellow and Neutral!!!


I have a quick post today. I made a card using CR84FN46 colour challenge
Here is the challenge for you
 

Very pretty colours. Love them. Here is my take on the challenge.



I choose my neutral as Sand Sahara from SU. Looks like Kraft on the photo!!!
 
I have been reading a book called Before & After -  How to design. Great book! I have finished the first chapter about layout, colours and typeface. So decided to use a few fundamentals on this card like framing, focal image @ or above eye level and to get typeface that matches the focal image...
My dear hubby downloaded this book on iPad and gave it to me to read. Sweet huh!  I did a course on interior designing long time ago. So all info on colours are coming back to me now. Anyway, cannot wait to read the second chapter.
 
Supplies:
Cardstock: Stamper's Select white and Lemon Tart from Papertrey Ink, Sand Sahara from SU.
Stamp sets: YOF- Mums from Papaertrey Ink and Spring POst from Wplus9
Inks: Colourbox Frost White Ink and Stazon Black Ink
Accessories: White embossing powder, heat gun, Pearls and Book Print Impression Plate from Papertrey Ink

 I really need to go to Woolworths to buy veggies and groceries!
