Card Making | CAS Colours and Sketches 530

It's time for another colour challenge at CAS Colours and Sketches...

We've got these three bright beauties to play with. Just match to the swatch as close as you can!

I've gone for stripes of the three colours, building a panel that I then die cut out of.

I die cut a skinny frame, some stars, a 'birthday' and then filled the rest of the space with other dies to get as much as I could from the panel. The other pieces will show up on cards and layouts soon!

I stacked up my frame and word on a few layers of black cardstock to add some dimension and a little flash of contrast from the white card base.

I stamped a happy in coordinating ink to complete the sentiment. This is where ink swatches come into their own - it was easy to flip through and colour match to my patterned paper.

Dies and Papers

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. ...
