LIM #463 and ATCAS #218

My Dad would often say of supper "Not bad for a quickly thrown together meal".  Now I'm saying "Not bad for a quickly thrown together card".  I went looking for a challenge and ran across two that had the same prompt - One Layer Card. The deadline for Addicted to CAS is today so I had to find something in a hurry.  In a quest to use my older stamps, I went with the Lotus from Altenew.

I did the layered stamping but enhanced the images with PolyChromos pencils.  The sentiment is from PTI.  It looks crooked in the photo but it's actually the card that's crooked.  I can't seem to take a straight picture to save my soul.  Less Is More wants their image off center, hence the placement of the lotus.

Thanks for dropping by.  How quickly can you make a card?

CAS(E) This Sketch #288

My card for CAS(E) This Sketch came to me when I couldn't sleep.  I guess if you have to be awake you might as well be productive.  I ended up getting out of bed and making this card and others in the wee hours of the morning.

The background is an acrylic block print with Distress Ink on mixed media paper.  The lotus are from Altenew, stamped in Pink Diamond and shaded with PolyChromos pencils.  In order for this to work I had to turn the sketch on its side.

I have two brothers who live in North Carolina so my thoughts are with them and their families as Hurricane Florence heads in their direction.  They are about 30 miles inland but my one brother has a vacation house on the Neuse River that will be affected by the swells as they push water up the river.  He lost his previous house to an earlier hurricane but this one is on stilts so I'm hoping that it will be spared.  My prayers go out to all who live in the area and hope that they are taking safety precautions.
