Sketch challenge

-

Hi everyone - happy weekend.

The challenge this time has been set by Freshly Made Sketches & it is their sketch #522 by Kim. FMS also like their challenge results to be in the CAS style.  

In case anyone is not aware what CAS means - it is - Clean & Simple.

Here is the sketch

and here is my card


I used some white hammered card & rounded the outer corners to soften the look. The focal image is on a square of white card that I have lightly coloured with a pale blue ink, which is also coloured the circle card for the greeting. The strip behind the focal image was also plain white & coloured this time with the next darkest blue ink. The flowers on the topper were coloured in green & blue shades to keep the colour scheme fresh.

What not pop over to the blog & see what others have done with this sketch.  In fact, why not take part yourself. 

I off now back into my craft room to create another blog challenge.  So, see you back here again soon.

    Such a sweet bouquet! I love the soft look of that cardstock behind it - and you are so right about the rounded edges. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

Another tangle

Good heavens! I can't believe it has been 2 weeks since I last wrote a post.  Will have to make up for that over next few days. Today I sat & worked on another tangle tile from Sanntangle designs. This needs a steady had which, unfortunately, I didn't have today. But I persevered & the result is not too horrendous.  The centre square is divided into 4 squares, but I didn't get them even, although I don't think it notices too much, thankfully. I am going to try it again when, hopefully, my hand is steadier & I might even add some colour. I also made a Christmas card a couple of days ago that used various embossing  techniques.  Will blog about that tomorrow.

Blog challenge times two

Hi everyone.  Today I decided to enter another blog challenge - which I haven't done for a little while. Whilst looking to see which one I would try I noticed that I could probably do two with one design. It meant pretending something wasn't what you would think it was but I thought I would give it a try.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say. The two blogs are Perfectly CAS and Addicted to CAS The challenge at Perfectly CAS was a card with Flowers, & the challenge at Addicted to CAS was a card with Hearts. The thought that came into my mind was that flower petals can be heart shaped - so there it was - my idea for these challenges. Here is the card; Each flower is made from 5 small hearts cut from pale pink paper. I added extra shading with some pink ink that was a little darker, plus I over-stamped the completed flowers with a "dotty" stamp for texture. The leaves were the same heart die, shaded with a slightly darker green ink.  The Happy Birthday is a

A club challenge card

Hello everyone - isn't it hard to believe we are now into September?  My! this year is rushing by. Today I have a photo of a card I made last week for a challenge at one of my clubs.  The theme was the "Passing of Summer".  Quite a challenge! To help me when I was thinking of the design, we had a beautiful late summer sunset one evening - so that gave me the colours.  Then I turned to Google, as you do, & searched for images & quotes to do with the ending of summer.  The images gave me an idea of the stamps to use, but I also found a really lovely quote.  So, here is the card; I am not the best at colouring & creating things like sky, but I am quite pleased with this. I used Distress Inks diluted with water & then brushed gently across the card. The trees, which are one stamp,  were basically for an autumn image so had bare branches. The set that they came from also had a cluster of leaves stamp, so I used that in 2 shades of green across the branches.  Th
