CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #531 – Sketch Challenge

Hey! Thanks for stopping by my little happy spot. Take a look around and hope you enjoy.

Welcome to the 2nd challenge for February, Michal has put together a sketch challenge for us.

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.

Why is it that the “simple” sketches seem to be way more difficult than other seemingly “simple” sketches. Am I the only one with this stumbling block? Once I got my head wrapped around the possibilities, this card came together pretty quickly. I ran a Basic White piece of card stock through the machine with the Zinnia 3D embossing folder – then with a sponge blender I ran Berry Burst, Mossy Meadow and Highland Heather over the embossed texture to add some color. Cut off (3) 3/8″ strips, attached two of the strips to the front of a Basic White Cardstock standard A4 card base. I attached the third strip inside the card to ground the stamped Zinnia Flower image from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. The sentiment “Today is all about you, Happy Birthday” is stamped in Highland Heather and comes from the Notes of Nature Stamp set.

Thanks again for stopping by and spending a bit of your time with me. I hope you enjoyed learning about how this card came together. Hopefully you were even inspired just a bit.
