When I saw that the theme at Allsorts this week is CAS, I thought that I must take part, so knowing I didn't have time to make a new card I had a look in my folder of finished but un posted cards and found this:
My go to stamp for making age cards is this Concord & 9th turnabout stamp. I just love it and love how the number looks when cut from the centre of the circle. When it is a big number it is quite good to camouflage it a little, I think. I generally also use Catherine Pooler inks as the colours are so lovely and vibrant. You can see other examples made with this stamp here and here.
This time I decided to use the circle off the edge and used another turnabout for the splatters that I heat embossed in gold and silver. the sentiment was also heat embossed in white. I used the splatter turnabout and the negatives from the numbers to decorate the insert. I decided to use the dark brown for the panel base because the card was for a man and I thought it added drama. What do you think?
The numbers are mounted on craft foam just to add a little dimension.

Amazing male CAS, love the brown choice and the lovely vibrant colours of the turnabout!The 70th detail looks great!! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHilary, what a fun bright and festive card. I love that you have used the camouflage method for the years. All in all a super card.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any turnabout stamps, Love the effect and the die cutting of the numbers. Awesome card ♥
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! I love the colors you've used for those fall foliage, and the number looks fantastic as well. Great card!
ReplyDeleteI expected no less Hilary given your my Queen of CAS! It's a delightful design and so striking on the brown card stock.

It's perfect for a man, Hilary. Nice autumn colors, a design that's got some interesting things going on, yet with an overall CAS look to it. I also like how you reversed the numbers on the piece behind it, which I'm guessing is the envelope. Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteI love this off the edge circle with it's pretty colors that play so well with the contrast of the black! I agree that camouflaging the number is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove your color choices & having the circle off the edge--great BD card, Hilary!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great number card! I love how that stamping just pops!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab card and I love how you "hid" the age - I must try to remember that trick.
ReplyDeletethanks also for sharing at Allsorts challenge.
Great masculine card and had a little chuckle with the large number being 'hidden'. The stamping looks fabulous Hilary x.
ReplyDeleteSorry to be late commenting but I was away visiting family, after nearly two years and it felt so good! x.
