Card Challenges

CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #456

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.

Well here it is Tuesday again….this Tuesday, our hostess Yoon Young at CAS Colours & Sketches, inspires us with a Sketch Challenge. I don’t know about you, but a good bit of the time, it is the simplest ideas that stump me the most. Yes, I tend to over think, making anything far more difficult than it probably needs to be. That said, does this happen to you or are you the sort that can take it and come out with something in an instant (I’m very jealous, if this is you!). I can’t wait to see what everyone is able to create with this seemingly simple sketch! If you would like, please post a photo of your project to our challenge gallery.

This card, once I got over my though process hump, became a one bundle wonder! The Ladybug started screaming at me…very persistently. She left me no choice but to pull her out and have a go. In my neck of the woods we have Yellow Lady bugs, just about as common as the typical red ladybug. Apparently they are technically beetles – this variety is called the 22 spotted Ladybird Beetle! Who Knew…right? What’s more….there are 17 different varieties of this same species, these guys eat Mildew – some eat aphids and other unfriendly to plants insects. So some varieties are a god send for the garden.

A couple of colors – Granny Apple Green, Polished Pink an Daffodil Delight, a few images, a couple of dies and a punch. I think this card turned out really cute, something about the pink flower and the ladybug make me smile. The sentiment is from the Hello Ladybug stamp Set and was the perfect thought for that moment.
