CAS Colours & Sketches #300 - Sketch & Happy Birthday CC&S!

Hey!

Happy 6th Birthday CAS Colours & Sketches!

This month at CAS Colours & Sketches our hostess is Patricia, the challenge owner.  This week Patricia has created a sketch for the Birthday week seen HERE and below...

And here is how I used the sketch...

I thought most people would go with the obvious of balloons for a birthday card, so I thought I'd be a little different and opted for celebratory stars. I used Background Builders: Seeing Stars clear stamp set paired with a *new* sentiment from one of the upcoming December Release clear stamp sets! 

The solid stars on my white layer are stamped in Altenew inks, Coral Berry, Warm Sunshine & Aqualicious. I then stamped the star with the linear detail in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and coloured some of the sections using Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends and added glitter to the non coloured section. These are then fussy cut and adhered to the card using 1mm thick foam adhesive.

It wouldn't be a birthday celebration without a gift! 

Uniko is super proud to be the sponsor of this CAS Colours & Sketches Birthday Sketch Challenge!

As long as you meet the requirements of the challenge (see the challenge rules HERE). One lucky winner will receive an in stock stamp set (any value) of their choosing from the Uniko website HERE.

That's all from me today, I hope that I 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 #299 - Colours

Hey!

This month at CAS Colours & Sketches our hostess is Patricia, the challenge owner.  This week is colour week HERE and seen below...

And here is how I decided to use them...

I'm still 'trying' to build up my stash of Christmas cards! I know I need to be sending them out soon, especially to those across the pond and beyond! 

The layout of my card uses the current sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch! seen HERE and below and I love how my card turned out ;)

I used my current go to favourites of Winter Foliage and Simply Said Blocks Christmas. The sentiment is adhered using foam adhesive and I added some white dot detail using Nuvo Drops to the berries.

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.

CAS Colours & Sketches #298 - Sketch

Hey!

This month at CAS Colours & Sketches our hostess is Patricia, the challenge owner.  This week is sketch week HERE and seen below...

Such a super CAS sketch and this is how I decided to use it...

I recently purchased some white stencil embossing medium and wanted to try a white on white effect with the Uniko Stylised Floral Stencil. (Apologies for the poor photos, the light was terrible today).

I embellished the design with some large enamel dots and added a sentiment from So Much. I thought the white on white design would look more CAS than it does, but I didn't have time to create a new design.

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 #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!
