Card Making | CAS Colours and Sketches 528

I'm excited to have joined the team at CAS Colours and Sketches. This is my first make for them and it is a colour challenge.

I struggled to find an exact match for the berry burst shade but Pinkfresh's Regal Kiss was a good enough match. I also went with Hydrangea, Spruce Tips and Lush Forest, all from Pinkfresh's ink line. If green is in a colour swatch I immediately go to leaves and I fancied pulling out my Alex Syberia florals so that was an easy decision.

Keeping it CAS I stamped off the edge of the card base and embossed in white for a subtle look. I then used the coordinating stencils to ink blend. As I was blending rather than stamping my colours are a touch on the softer side.

Then I decided my greeting would go smack bang across the middle of my image. Perhaps controversial? Why place it over the prettiness? I don't know really, I just like the closeness of everything design-wise.

Come over and join us at CAS Colours and Sketches!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday ! As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off. Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made...

And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead. They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread. (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.) Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!! :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop . If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is Easter bunting! I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart. Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them. I embellished each flag with some beads... I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants. My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread. ...
