CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #569 colours

 hello crafters!

We have a new colour challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and this time Nancy has chosen the colour palette for you to use.  The colours remind me of autumn going into winter, warm and cosy colours!

I decided to do a super simple card. I ink smooshed 2 of the colours onto card then die cut the leaves. The sentiment was die cut from the final colour, popped up on foam squares, and paired with a single strip as background.

**In other news, we are looking for some more talented crafters to join the CC&S Design Team. The full details are in the challenge post but you'll need to enter this challenge (colours) and the next challenge (sketch) so we can see your crafty cards. Just put "DT" after your name on your challenge entry if you're interested. Best of luck!

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

• dies: Gummiapan leaves, Honey Bee Stamps bitty buzzwords
• inks: vintage photo, black soot, chipped sapphire distress oxides

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #568 sketch

  hello stampers!

There's a new sketch challenge at CAS colours and sketches and this one was designed by Nancy. 

I used an ink smooshed background, made with watercolour card. The herbs were die cut from ink smooshed card, and ink blended with the same green as the watercolour. The sentiment was stamped right on the panel.

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #567 colours

 hello crafters!

We have a new colour challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and Deborah has put together a lovely subtle colour palette for you to use.

I decided to create a square card - I really like the central square within the square look. The background was stamped with the challenge colours, then the little dandelions were stamped and white heat embossed. A single dandelion was die cut and adhered. The sentiment was stamped and die cut.

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #566 sketch

 hello stampers!

This month's sketch challenge at CAS colours and sketches was proposed by Deborah. A throwback to a couple of years ago and such a clever CAS design!

I'm sure everyone has days like this, but this sentiment really rang true for me when I made this card! I think I got zero things properly done. Oh well!  The background was watercoloured then stamped with spritzed ink. The martini glass was die cut from silver card, stacked 3 times and adhered. Sentiment from Tim Holtz small talk stickers.

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

• dies: Paper Rose martini glass, Spellbinders mini blooms and sprigs
• inks: blueprint sketch, shaded lilac distress oxides

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #565 colours

 hello crafters!

For this month's colour challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches, Joanne has used one of the new in-colors - a gorgeous strawberry colour. What speaks to summer more than strawberries?

The background was stencilled in a neutral tone, then the ice cream was die cut and adhered with foam squares. The sentiment was stamped onto the panel.
