CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #38

It's a colour challenge this week over on CAS Colours & Sketches blog - I like these because it makes me try new colour combo's.

Bashful Blue has retired but I did find an old pad and a scrap of cardstock so I could be true to the challenge.  It's perfectly fine to substitute similar colours though if you have already passed yours on.

I don't make many baby cards and I absolutely love this so someone will have to have a baby soon that I can give it to!

Lovin' the banners?  These are a stamp & framelit from Hearts a Flutter.  The sentiment is from Bitty Banners & also has a framelit.

These tiny bows were easy to tie, you start bigger and keep adjusting till they're tiny.  Attach them with glue dots.

I hope you like it too!  Leave me a comment if you do!
Cheers

Clean & Simple Pretty Petites

This is a versatile stamp set, and because it's got a co-ordinating punch, both of which you can get for FREE during our Sale-a-Bration promotion (be quick, it ends on 22 March), you can make some clean and simple cards in a flash.

I used the colour coach for the colour combo in this card.  Way out of my comfort zone, but I think it'd be great for a young person's birthday, male or female.

The Chevron embossing folder was used on the Tempting Turquoise layer and the rest is self explanatory.  All the layers were in my scrap box.  Love that!  I think the whole card took around 5 minutes.  Not bad eh?

Happy Tuesday
Cheers

Mojo Monday 239

This week's Mojo sketch could be round or square. I chose square because for some reason I always think it's easier.

This is a very simple card.  The watercolouring took the longest and that was only a minute or so!   I've used Melon Mambo & Old Olive with an aqua painter.

This is the same card with a vellum overlay on the watercolouring.  Doesn't it soften the Melon Mambo?  It's almost Pink Pirouette.   The reason I wanted to put vellum over the top was to disguise the watercolour paper.   I didn't like the way it looked so creamy against the white of the organza ribbon.  It's a bit hard to tell through the camera, so you'll just have to trust me!

Supplies used:  Stamp Set:  Bordering on Romance & Fresh Cuts (R) (greeting only)

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Watercolour paper & Vellum

Ink:  Staz On, Melon Mambo, Old Olive & Daffodil Delight

White Organza Ribbon,

Designer Label Punch, Corner Rounder Punch

Vellum Tape

Did you use your mojo today?

Simple Thank You Cards

It's getting harder and harder to make a card without the Big Shot!!  Who knew?!
These cards are really simple and use the Top Note & the Tulips Embossing Folder.
I'm loving that Mocha Morning Specialty paper - this one is flocked in black.  It goes so nicely with everything! 

The ribbon is the new ruffled one in Lucky Limeade. 

The cardstock colours are Calypso Coral, Island Indigo & Wisteria Wonder.    I printed the message on Whisper White cardstock then ran it through the Big Shot with the Top Note.



Have a lovely day.

Dress for Success PPA106

Here's a card I made tonight for a Pals Paper Arts challenge where the brief was to use one piece of DSP, one punch and one sentiment.    I think my card would also satisfy a CAS (clean and simple) criteria!

The DSP is from the patterns pack in Basic Black.  I've used the sentiment from Perfect Punches and the punch is the Wide Oval.   The ribbon is from last Christmas so it's retired, but I loved the spots with the stripes.  I like it because it's a great manly card....no not the footy team!  I know nothing about football. 

Anyway, I'm off to tidy up my craft space....again.....before I call it a night.

See ya!
