CAS Colours & Sketches #297 - Colours

Hello November!

This month at CAS Colours & Sketches our hostess is Patricia, the challenge owner.  As usual we are starting the month off with a colour challenge and HERE are this weeks colours...

Another beautiful colour combo and it made me think of pretty Cosmos flowers, so this is what I made...

I've kept this card really simple. The flowers from Pure Florals: Cosmos are stamped in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then I used Stampin' Up! markers to colour my Cosmos flowers. I substituted Balmy Blue for Soft Sky because it was the closest blue I had. I've not purchased the new colour markers yet :( 

I adhered this stamped and coloured panel to a piece of So Saffron card, wrapped some white bakers twine around and tied in a bow. This is adhered to the card base using foam adhesive.

That's all from me today, I hope thatI have inspired you to join in on the challenge?! If you need a little more inspiration, pop on over HERE to see what the CC&S Design Team have created.

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS Colours & Sketches #296 - The Double!

* CLICK HERE for the Uniko October Reveal, DT Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY post *

Hey!

This week over at CAS Colour & Sketches is Timeless Tuesday, AKA The Double! It is a multiple hostess for October and Karen and Patricia came up with this sketch and colour combo seen HERE and below, to inspire your card making...

And this is how I have combined the two...

Still trying to get a stash of Christmas cards made, I opted to use Winter Foliage. This is one of my 'go to' clear stamp sets for Holiday and Winter themed cards. The Gumball Green and Raspberry Ripple colours seemed appropriate for the foliage and berries too. 

I then just needed to incorporate the Midnight Muse into my design and did this by using it as my focal panel mat. I added some plain white bakers twine and a sentiment from Simply Said II.

Anyway, the CC&S Design Team have created more awesome inspiration to share with you, so hop on over HERE to see and also find all the challenge details & link up!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Introducing... BIG & BOLD Merry and Background Builders: Christmas 2018

Hey!

Welcome back to day 4 of the October 2018 Release product introductions.

This is the fun part, you now get to see all the sneak peeks in action. The Design Team have worked their socks off and created an abundance of inspiration to share with you over the coming days :)

Thank you for all the comment love yesterday here and on social media. If you missed the first 3 days of introductions, you can catch up HERE, HERE and HERE.

Today we are introducing the final two clear stamp sets, BIG & BOLD Merry and Background Builders: Christmas 2018. I think I have saved my current two favourites till last too ;)

For my card here today I have combined both BIG & BOLD Merry and Background Builders: Christmas 2018. I've wanted to design a Christmas fairy lights stamp for ages and this year it was the year it happened! 

The string comes as one stamp, with 3 separate fairy bulb designs. I have created a tangled light background by stamping the string at various angles and then going back in and stamping 2 of the bulb designs.

 I've used Stampin' Up! Markers in bright colours for the bulbs and added Clear Wink of Stella for some sparkle too.

The large 'Merry' from Big & Bold Merry is stamped in Stampin' Up! Real Red ink and then once dry I overstepped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Stardust EP. I've then fussy cut this out and adhered it to the card using foam adhesive.

That's all I have to share here today, but be sure to hop along with my AWESOME Design Team to see what they have created. Don't forget to comment along the way. You never know, I might just pick some random comments to WIN some prizes this release ;)
