CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #467
Hey! Thanks for stopping by my little happy spot. Take a look around and hope you enjoy.
We would love to see what card creation you can bring to life. Please consider, taking a minute to post your card creation in our challenge gallery at CAS Colours & Sketches.
Here it is, the final week of April! I can’t believe it! Our CAS Colours & Sketches team member and April Hostess, Bhavya has created this sketch challenge for us. As always, please post your card creation to the challenge gallery, we love to see what the sketches inspire you to get out on paper.
Simple and straight forward – I was in need of a Birthday card – so here it is. I used Rainbow glimmer paper and the Art Gallery Stamp set sentiment. Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the Tuxedo Black inside sentiment several times to be sure it was as dark and crisp as could be. I was surprised it actually worked! It dried quickly, didn’t smear – I had to make a mental note to self! A little bit of bling, some color a basic black card base – perfection. Each sentiment is cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies, then attached with black dimensionals for a bit of lift. Inside is lined with a piece of Basic White card, and adorned with a butterfly that I think was left over from a Paper Pumpkin kit. The color and butterfly image worked nicely, so now there is one less piece of something on my desk! Win all around.
Note: I have no idea why the sentiment strips look so wonky in these pictures! I used a t-square to keep everything straight and aligned. The only thing I can come up with, and only because I can see the card rolling – as if it was damp- is that it was a rainy day when I created and photographed this card. I am so sorry – but it didn’t appear to be so badly distorted!
