A Blooming Birthday!

Good morning!
Ooops I'm a tiny bit late with my post for this week's CAS-Colours and Sketches challenge...I forgot today was Thursday!

Anyway, here I am and here is our challenge for this week...

This is not a colour combo I would normally think of, but once I used it I rather liked it! 

I have used the lovely Flower Patch photopolymer stamps for all of this card...as they are clear as opposed to red rubber I get perfect placement all the time as I can see where I'm stamping!

The sentiment was coloured using two Stampin' Write Markers before stamping, and the flower was cut using the matching Flower Fair Framelits. I really love how the matching dies make crafting so much easier! 

I finished with a Basic Rhinestone Jewel which I coloured using my Bronze pen from the Skin Tone set of Blendabilities. Oh yes, and I doodled a border too :)

I shall be back tomorrow with a card made using yet another sneak peek product from the Autumn/Winter catalogue! :)

I am now off to take Keiran to a gymnastic camp for him to have a go....he's so good at throwing himself around aimlessly that I think he'll quite enjoy doing it with some guidance!

Have a great Thursday and see you tomorrow :)

It's a Double!

Hello everyone!

Today is our new challenge at CAS-Colours and Sketches, and this week it's the double!

We would like to see you use both the colours and the sketch in your card this week. 

So here is what I came up with...

I have used the lovely new Photopolymer stamps Flower Patch for my card. I stamped the flower 3 times in Crushed Curry, then die cut the bottom layer using the fab matching Flower Fair Framelits. The other two layers were hand cut and popped up on Dimensionals. 

Here is a close up of the flower...

I stamped the sentiment from Lots of Thanks in Smoky Slate and punched out using the Large Oval Punch. I finished with a matching Candy Dot.

I love how the oval sentiment compliments the oval petals of the flower don't you?

I am entering this into the challenge at Less Is More this week which is anything goes...it's been ages since I entered a challenge!

Happy birthday to Chrissie, the owner of LIM!!

What are you going to make for our challenge...can't wait to see!

Have a lovely Thursday!
