Hardwood and Backyard Basics

Hello everyone!

I can't believe another week has gone by already since our last challenge at CAS - Colours and Sketches! This week it's a sketch challenge... 

It's a simple sketch, perfect for CAS cards...remember that we are a CAS challenge, so please do keep your cards as CAS as possible!

Anyway, here is my card...

I stamped the new Hardwood Background stamp in Smoky Slate, and added a banner of embossed and sanded Daffodil Delight Core'Dinations card.

The Iris, from the Backyard Basics set, was stamped in black Stazon then coloured with Wisteria Wonder and Daffodil Delight, and blended using Aqua Painters. I die cut it out using the matching dies. I do love Irises...they have a real spring feel don't they?

Tulips from....

Erm, well Bolton actually! They were inspired by my recent trip to Holland though! That and the challenge over at Less Is More this week which is...

Use a Rubber Stamp

and watercolouring!

So I dug out my Watercolour Paper and Aqua Painters and got to work...not quite a Van Gogh!

I used the tulip from the Backyard Basics set, and cut it out with the matching die. They really do make life easy! The embossing folder is Stylish Stripes from the new seasonal catalogue. Can you see the paper pierced corners? I've seen it around quite a bit lately and thought it would work well here.

The sentiment is from the hostess set Express Yourself.

A Backyard Basics Sympathy Card

 Good morning all :)

I hope you are well? As I typed this last night, I had a really upset tummy, and bad tummy ache...I hope it's gone by the time this posts this morning :/

So this is a quick post of a card made using the lovely Backyard Basics stamp and framelits bundle.

I used the Woodgrain WF for the backgoround panel and the sentiment is from Morning Meadow Hostess Set.

I finished with a few pearls from my stash.

That's all from me today. Thanks for calling :)

A VERY bright Flower Garden!

Hello!

I have a very bright and cheerful card for you today, to match the weather of late and it somewhat looks like my garden at the moment...Lots of colour! :)

I have used my lovely new Flower Garden stamp for this card and I basically randomly stamped the flowers in Pretty In Pink, Real Red, Garden Green and Summer Starfruit, in that order I think.

The fabby sentiment that suit this card down to a T is from Happy Day, and the pretty butterfly is from Backyard Basics. I added a little paper piercing to the sentiment banner for a little added interest.
