wonderful

Hello crafty friends!!

I am very excited to be back as a guest designer for the next AAA Cards challenge!!

The current challenge is a sketch challenge - AAA Cards Challenge 264

And here is my card.....

I have really enjoyed challenging myself with CAS cards! I tend to gravitate toward lots of layers and very little white space as my norm, so I am very grateful for AAA Cards challenges which encourage me to try something new!

For this card, I used The Greetery's jumbo curiosity nest die as my focal point. I die cut it from white cardstock and then went to town with distress oxide inks (another relatively new to me technique).

I was inspired by the sketch to add a swatch of watercolor to the card panel before adhering the nest. A bit of ink splatter in the same color added a subtle bit of extra interest.

Be sure to check out the rest of the designers' cards on the AAA Cards Challenge blog, hope you will be inspired to play along!!

Thank you so much AAA Cards Challenge for extending the opportunity to guest design, I greatly enjoyed the challenges and look forward to playing along with many additional challenges in the future!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

xoxo ~ Rae
