A challenge for me with CAS card design is keeping it one layered and not adding a bunch of embellishments. A CAS card to me is not that simple to design, it requires some thought. For this card I wanted to create movement, to make the Ninja look like he is doing a powerful kick. I stamped the Ninja on the cardstock and masking paper. I masked the ninja off and used post it notes to mask of the area for the rays.
I used stencil brushes to add red, yellow, green and blue distress ink. The sentiment is heat embossed in my favorite way for black (stamp in black pigment ink and emboss in clear). I used Copic markers to quickly color the stamped images and added some clear Nuvo drops to the throwing star. I worked on a piece of cardstock sized 4.25"x5.5", the same size as a card front. I find this easier than working on a card front, when it is adhered to a card it still looks one layered. I remembered to keep my fingers clean as I wasn't going to be easily able to camoflage any smudges on this card. My red Copic marker is really juicy and a dot of ink did land in the white space, I used a white gel pen to cover it up.
stamps used: Ninja-mazing
Stencil Used: Radiating Rays
I am sharing this card at the MFT 2018 Card Design Superstar Challenge.
