Happy Little Stampers ~ May CAS Challenge

 It's time for a new challenge at Happy Little Stampers ~ CAS Challenge. This month, our challenge is

When I saw this month's challenge of "BLEND", I thought of using blending brushes and distress inks. Here's my card

In the past, I would use post-it tape to mask off a card panel. In this case, I used one of Simon Says STAMP's A2 masks - there are 4 different sizes in the package. I adhered it with some washi tape to keep it from shifting. I gently added some color with distress inks (spun sugar, shaded lilac, tumbled glass, cracked pistachio) applied with oval blending brushes. For the sentiment, I die cut using PinkFresh Studio's Scripted Greetings dies. I added some color to the word die cut using some of the leftover ink on the blending brushes. I adhered the shadow and word to the ink blended area. I felt that the card needed something more, so I added a few clean and colorless gems to the blended area. Here's a close-up.

I adhered the panel to a white A2 card base to complete my card.

We'd love to see how you're inspired by the word "BLEND" this month.
