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.

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

• dies: Gummiapan dandelion, MFT itty bitty strips, Hero Arts infinity squares
• inks: victorian velvet, salvaged patina, evergreen bough distress oxides
• stamps: Lavinia stamps mini seed head, Gummiapan sentiment

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.

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

• dies: Gummiapan ice cream, Hero Arts infinity rectangles

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #564 sketch

hello stampers!

This month's sketch challenge at CAS colours and sketches was designed by Joanne. Doesn't it capture the essence of CAS perfectly? 

I wanted to do the leaf as a trio of die cuts from ink smooshed card. To create some layering I die cut out one leaf inserting it into the front panel, adhered another leaf, then stacked 2 of the third leaf and adhered it. The sentiment was stamped and die cut then mounted on foam squares.

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

• dies: Gummiapan happy tag, eucalyptus, tickets, Hero Arts infinity rectangles
• inks: tumbled glass, shaded lilac, carved pumpkin distress oxides

CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #563 colours

hello stampers!

For this challenge Shannon has put together some beautiful soft colours for our next challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. Such summery colours suggest some fun!

I created a simple card using sweet milkshake dies. Perfect for a summer birthday! The coloured milkshakes were inserted into die cut squares, then mounted on foam tape. Sentiment was die cut and adhered.
