AAA Cards | CAS Game #111 - Use Only One Third

Happy Sunday lovelies!

It's Shay here joining in on a very fun challenge over at AAA Cards we are sponsoring called CAS Game #111 - Use Only One Third.

 

So as the image shows, your challenge is to create a clean and simple card using only a third of the real estate on your card.  I loved this challenge and tried it myself!

Here is the card I came up with:

I think this challenge was a perfect one to use my thick stash of backgrounds (a productive and happy crafting weekend produced nearly 50 backgrounds!) I recently created.  I had used white embossing paste with the Scenery: Spotty Creative Screenings and then blended inks over it using my handing ink blending tool to create a rainbow look.  I decided to cut off about a third of the A2 panel for this card like so:

Which still leaves me quite a bit for another project (or 2!).  I then adhered the strip with really thick dimensional foam adhesive to an A2 white card base.  Next I cut out In a Word: Celebrate Cutaway 3 times from white cardstock and glued them all together and adhered them to the strip.  I go for "celebrate" a lot because I like that you don't really need a supporting sentiment with it.

Last, I added enamel dots in colors that corresponded with the strip.

Easy peasy!  Now it is your turn to try just using only a third to create a card (GO HERE to find how to play along with the challenge).  Can't wait to see what marvels you make.

Happy creating,
Shay.
