Baby card for geeks and nerds

If you are of the science geek and/or nerd persuasion, this should take you, oh, about 20 seconds, tops.  If you are not, then scroll down.

 For the non-geek/nerds visiting today, the chemical symbols for the elements listed are:

Foiling a stamped image: Addicted to CAS

Hello! I'm excited today because I have been invited to be a guest designer at Addicted to CAS - the theme this week is "Wish". I also have a fun technique to share with you!

I started by making an ink pad using Ranger Cut and Dry, and inked it up with Heidi Swapp Minc Reactive Paint. I then used the "Make a wish" stamp set from Create a Smile, and inked up the word "wish" with my home made ink pad. I waited for the paint to dry, then ran it through my Minc Mini machine with some blue reactive foil. It worked a charm!
I then took out the "Lots of Stars" stencil from Create a Smile, and used some Caribbean Sky and Persian Blue inks from Altenew to blend ink over the card. Then, leaving the first stencil in place, I put the Winnie and Walter "Big Bang Sci-Fi Star" Creative Screenings stencil over the top, and inked in some of those little stars over the top. I then added in some more little stars with my Wink of Stella clear shimmer pen.  I added the "upon a star" bit of the sentiment with Sapphire ink, and then I added some Sparkling Clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Addicted to CAS - Codeword: Cuddly

Yes the codeword is "Cuddly".  My Mum chose it, because I couldn't decide between a shortlist of 4 words!!

This teddy bear stamp, believe it or not, is the very first stamp I ever bought (in 1998).  The rubber has gone a bit yukky and hard, so I was amazed that it stamped so well!

Addicted to CAS - Codeword: Oriental

This week's ATCAS codeword is "Oriental" , so I knew exactly where to start.  A couple of years ago, by bestie, Sharyne, bought me some beautiful handmade Japanese paper when she went to a trip to Japan.  It is just the most beautiful paper, I've been hoarding it!!
