Card Challenges

Golden Daisy Thank You

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.

This week I would like to challenge you with a sketch challenge this week for CAS Colours & Sketches Sketch Challenge #370. Come play along with us this week. Create a card following this sketch then post it on the CAS Colours & Sketches Blog. Challenge winners will be announced on Fridays at 3:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time. Come play along with us!

Here is what I have created, hope it inspires you to hop on over and join us!

I looked at this challenge at first and was absolutely at a loss. Isn’t that the way, we tend to overthink the simplest of problems and make mountains out of mole hills….at least I am really good at that. So, that is exactly what I did, then thankfully, finally, something clicked. While building my mountain, I came across the Daisy Lane stamp set, then the retired Golden Honey Specialty DSP popped into my mind….Eureka! Truly that is all that is involved. The Daisy Lane Stamp set, the Medium Daisy Punch, the Leaf Punch is sold out and retiring 3 June, the Starburst Punch – retiring as of 3 June – , a little bit of Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper, Garden Green cardstock, Daffodil Delight Cardstock, Whisper White and Black cardstock. I like to have marathon sessions of punching, die cutting, creating the images I know I will use frequent and often in the colors I’m pretty sure I will also use frequent and often. I had several daisies already stamped and punch, and the honey comb die cut image from the Detailed Bee Dies that was included with the Honey Bee Stamp Set Bundle. I adore this set, unfortunately the Honey Bee bundle and its coordinating DSP has sold out and left us forever.

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.
