CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #549 sketch

  hello crafters!

This month's sketch challenge at CAS colours and sketches was designed by Patricia.  This one is perfect for a CAS layout with all the elements at the top of the landscape panel. You can flip the design if you prefer, or make it vertical. So many possibilities! I chose to make it a square card.

I used black card as the base, and die cut lots of little stars from ink smooshed card. A strip of vellum was stamped with the sentiments, clear heat embossed and wrapped around the front panel, over the stars. The 21 was die cut, stacked and adhered. The star outlines worked really well to stick the vellum down so it didn't bulge. The front panel was adhered using foam squares. This one is for my son who turns 21 just after christmas. Eeek!

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

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #548 colours

   hello stampers!

It's our colours challenge for November at CAS colours and sketches, and Patricia has paired these very christmassy colours together.  In all the hubbub of christmas preparations, I think it's nice to have a calming touch of minimalism. Join us with a CAS card!

The larger square was ink blended and die cut.  The smaller square was die cut from coloured card. The sentiment was inked and clear heat embossed for shine. The pine sprig was die cut, ink blended then die cut again to fit into the smallest square shape.

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