A Splash of Love

I've been stamping up a storm the past couple of days - but not posting (!)  so today I have a few cards to share. I've been having fun checking out all of the CAS challenges out here in Blog Land!

 First I have a card that I made for the Cas-ual Friday's Challenge - Make your Mark - to use markers in some way.

I used Ranger Distress Markers, a piece of acetate and a Mini Mister with water to create these backgrounds.  I learned the technique over at Split Coast Stampers -  and it's called Smackin' Acetate!

First, you take a piece of acetate about the size of the front of your card.  Color onto the acetate with your markers.  Spritz the acetate with a Mini Mister filled with water.  Then quickly place the acetate over your card front - colors down - and rub over the back of the acetate.  Remove the acetate and VOILA - you have a cool background!  I used a different number of 'spritz's' on each card -  the less water you use - the more defined the marker strokes are.  I used the most water on the card below. My sentiment is from MFT.

I made this card using the sketch from Less is More and I used the Cherish Border from Memory box to qualify for the Addicted to CAS challenge - Code Word: Heart

In case you can't read my little sentiment - it says "love is in the air".  It's from Tiny Treats: Valentine by PTI.

Well,  thanks for stopping by today - tomorrow I'll be posting a card using home made Washi Tape -  you can check it out on Claire's WMS blog here.
