CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #596 colours

hello stampers!

The talented Suzy is your host at CAS Colours & Sketches this month and she has chosen a colour combo perfect for Autumn! 

Typically though, I went off on a tangent! I found this sentiment and felt like it was perfect for ducks  :)  Ducks and grassy hills were die cut and adhered with a simple stamped background. Sentiment sticker was mounted on more of the same card.

Thanks so much for stopping by - we'd love to see your card in our gallery.

 

dies: Gummiapan ducks, ducklings, MFT infinity rectangles

stamps: Altenew wildflower doodles

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #595 sketch

hello crafters!

I'm so happy to be the host for this sketch challenge at CAS colours and sketches and I've designed a simple sketch for you. The circles can be any shape you choose!

I decided I was in need of more christmas cards so this one uses christmas elements. The angel was die cut from ink smooshed card and the halo was heat embossed in gold. The tree was also die cut from ink smooshed card. The sentiment was stamped and gold heat embossed, die cut into a circle and popped up on foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the gallery!

• dies: Gummiapan angel, Alexandra Renke tree, MFT infinity circles, infinity rectangles
• stamps: Altenew warm blessings
• inks: pumice stone, tumbled glass, rustic wilderness distress oxides

the bees knees

 hello stampers!

I'm joining in today with the challenge at The Paper Players where Christy has set the CAS theme of 'bears'. While I don't have a lot of bear crafty things, I do have a favourite MFT set 'Cool Day' with the most adorable bears. I always seem to paper piece these characters and today was no exception.

I thought it would be perfect to give the bear wings. Then I thought well bears like bees (well, honey), so I'll make his jumper and beanie bee-coloured. And to top it off I found a bee-themed sentiment and made a bee-themed mug. So...is he a bear? or a bee? or just having an identity crisis. You be the judge! lol

Thanks for stopping by today :)

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #594 colours

hello stampers!

I'm delighted to be your host at CAS Colours & Sketches this month and I have chosen a pretty colour combo! We're into spring here in Melbourne, so these colours were perfect for some fresh flowers.

All the components were die cut then watercoloured in the chosen colour combo. Frog was inked lightly in the same green colour. The sentiment was stamped and die cut. I used hammered card for this one to add a little texture and interest too!

Thanks so much for stopping by - we'd love to see your card in our gallery.

 

dies: Gummiapan snowdrops, frog, grass, sentiment border, Tonic Studios floral square frames

stamps: Gummiapan sentiment

inks: rustic wilderness, wilted violet, spun sugar distress oxides

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #593 sketch

 hello crafters!

The sketch challenge at CAS colours and sketches this month was designed by Amanda. An interesting sketch which features a recurring shape with lots of possibilities!

The background rectangles were die cut from ink smooshed card then mounted on foam squares to make a shadow effect. The irreverent bunny was given magic and produced a carrot! haha Sentiment is a Tim Holtz sticker.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. We'd love to see your card in the gallery!

• dies: Gummiapan bunny, carrot, hat, MFT infinity circles, Paper Rose stitched rectangles
• inks: chipped sapphire, carved pumpkin, picked raspberry distress oxides
