CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #551 colours

 hello crafters and welcome to a new year of CC&S challenges!

I'm hosting for January and we're starting with a colours challenge. These colours reminded me of falling leaves, so I did an autumn themed card.

The background was lightly ink blended. The leaf pile die was cut from kraft card, inked randomly then had some little leaf die cuts adhered over the top. I just love the little falling leaf dies with their curly travel - so sweet! 

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

• dies: Paper Rose birdie, all others Gummiapan dies
• stamps: Gummiapan
• inks: antique linen, peeled paint, carved pumpkin, ground espresso distress oxide inks

it's only Tuesday

 hello stampers

I'm kicking off the new year with a snarky card made especially for the sisters! The current challenge is N is for NBUS (never been used stuff). I used a brand new die from the Gummiapan advent calendar, day 5, as well as several stamps from Globleland that hadn't been used.

The background was stamped with several different stamps with an office theme in blues and browns. The border was edged with a micron marker. Sentiment from Tim Holtz backed with black card. The die was cut, stamped, backed with a black die cut, threaded with a ribbon, and popped up on foam tape.

I'm really hoping to join in with the snarky sisters more often than last year which was a bit of a crazy blur. I'm also posting this in Darnell's fabulous blog, NBUS. Hugs Darnell!
