CAS Colours & Sketches #175

Hey!

I'm here today with my Design Team card for the new CAS Colours & Sketches challenge seen HERE and below. This week our hostess Caro has challenged us with a sketch...




Caro would like to see the 5 elements of differing sizes in the diagonal on your cards. Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch as desired. This is what I came up with...




This sketch certainly stumped me for a while, I wanted to do something a little different at first but it didn't work out. So as you can see I reached for a collection of Uniko heart stamps for my card. The flower heart and largest outline flower are from Always & Forever with the smaller trio from Flower Power #3.




I decided I needed a little extra help with my creativity and turned to Color Throwdown for my colours seen HERE and below.



That's all from me today, be sure to check out the rest of the CC&S DT samples over HERE and also to join in on the challenge. I hope to see you in the gallery and look forward to being inspired by you all :)

Fresh for Friday!

Hey!

I love Fridays! Firstly I love today as it's the start of the weekend & I get to spend time with my husband :) and secondly because it's the 1st August which means that in 10 days time it'll be release day - whoop whoop! To make it even better, only 4 days until the Sneak Peeks start, which makes counting down to release day even more fun!

Anyway, I've a fresh CAS card to share with you today...




I love the new sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches seen HERE and below, it has SO many options and ways you could go with it. 




I decided to unitise some of the smaller stamps in the Uniko Studio product line up. The little hearts contained in Flower Power #3.




I've not much planned for the weekend, will just see how it rolls! I don't think the weather forecast is great, rain on its way, perfect for staying in & crafting! 

I'll be back tomorrow with a long over due The Saturday Show, so until then, thank you for stopping by today :)

Countdown to Christmas Day 4

Hey!

I'm back this afternoon with day 4 of my Countdown to Christmas, this mornings post HERE was by Gillian our December Guest Designer who won the last Uniko Studio Challenge. Be sure to check out Gillian's beautiful & festive card as a challenge reminder. There is still 10 days to get your entires linked up.

Ok, back to my project for today...




The inspiration for this card came from the current CASology challenge HERE which is ribbon. I had all the usual ideas of using ribbon on cards, tags & gifts floating around my mind. Then all of a sudden it came to me - a gift card, but not in the usual sense of creating a gift card holder but merely a card disguised as a gift. 




Yes, it's not an original idea but it's what came to me and sometimes you just have to go with the flow! I've used minimal supplies on the card and any colour ribbon can be used. You could even match the colours to your actually gift wrapping for the year if you are a colour coordinating theme person. 




I decided to add a small die cut heart tag stamped with a 'With Love' sentiment from Flower Power #3, but it would still look pretty & festive even without the tag. Thinking about this card now as I type it doesn't even have to be a card for Christmas, it would suit any occasion. 

That's all from me today & I hope I've inspired you a little bit to use some of that ribbon I know you're hoarding like me! I'll be back tomorrow at the usual time of 9am GMT with Day 5 of the countdown, with something a little different! Until then, thank you for stopping by today :)

'Lovey Dovey'

Hey!

It's a bit 'Lovey Dovey' on the blog today with a little non-holiday card...




I've had this little idea stuck in my head since I designed the Peace On Earth set and had to put it into reality, so I did. The heart from Flower Power #3 and the sentiment are perfect for pairing with the Doves from Peace On Earth to create a love themed card. 




I kept it super simple & added lots of my favourite glitter to embellish the card & add that special touch for the recipient. Short & Sweet from me today as I spend some quality time with my husband!

Thanks for stopping by today & hope you all have a wonderful love filled day :)
