CAS2 Homework - Day 8

I know, I know, I've skipped a few days of posting, but it's not for lack of stamping. Actually, I've stamped a lot, and it's all pretty trash. I have failed miserably at the homework for both Monday and Tuesday's sessions. However, tonight's is not too bad, so you'll get to see it.

I didn't manage one-layer, but I did use a new technique ... I created a plaid design! Lookie:

There are way more layers here than you think, mostly because I don't take my time when I stamp after work, and I made messes. That white layer started out as a card front that had to be salvaged when I managed to get ink on the back of it. Then I thought I was being smart when inking the edges of the new card front and I managed to get ink on the inside of that card. Finally I cut off the front and put it onto a third card base.

The heart is one-layer, though. I masked and stamped and cleaned and stamped until I had that handsome plaid. I kinda like it, right down to its weird edges. I was going to layer it onto blue when I decided to try for fewer layers by inking the edges. You already know how that turned out, but at least the blue edges match the blue in the plaid.

I colored the pearls with Copic BG18 which I declared the same color as Distress Evergreen Bough, or maybe Peacock Feathers. Either way, I think they work.

In other news, this has been the longest. week. ever. Has it been for you, too? I woke up thinking it was Friday, but it was only Wednesday. If you are on vacation, this is a good thing, but I'm not. This might explain my mojo-less Monday and Tuesday, which should have been at least Wednesday and Thursday. But this also means there are two more days of class, so in the end, I win. :)

Thanks for stopping by!
