CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #555 colours

 hello crafters!

Nancy is our host for this month at CAS Colours & Sketches and she has chosen some gorgeous colours for us as inspiration. I thought they reminded me of the first flowers of spring - perfect!


The background was stamped with a random lines stamp and also with tiny dots. The flowers were die cut from ink smooshed card in pink and in green card for the outline, then the flower outline was roughly laid over some of the inserts. The sentiment was stamped, clear heat embossed and die cut, then mounted on foam squares.

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

  • dies: Alexandra Renke artist flower set 06, Gummiapan tickets
  • stamps: Lavinia mini dots, Penny Black grown with love
  • inks: candied apple, seedless preserves, crushed olive, squeezed lemonade distress oxides

    Oh I love those stylised flowers Rachel - how fabulous! The diecuts are so delicate and add a layer without bulk. Great use of the splatter-type stamps too - they add just the right amount of detail. A gorgeous card!
