Card Making | CAS Colours and Sketches 532

I'm back again with my favourite type of challenge - a three colour swatch.

This was an absolute pleasure to play with. I made a 7x5 card featuring paper pieced shapes.

I'm not sure what to call this shape... it is a die from an old Pinkfresh Studio set of snowflakes... clearly not your average snowflake! I cut it from each of my selected patterned papers and mixed them up piecing back into white outlines so each of the three shapes had all of the colours.

I added them to a panel with a touch of subtle inking around the edge and placed them on my card base. I die cut the sentiment from matching patterned paper and added that below.

A quick note on the 'patterned paper' - the bright blue piece is actually a piece I stamped and ink blended using a Concord and 9th Turnabout stamp. I was following a Jennifer McGuire video tutorial on the iron off embossing technique. The piece has sat in my stash unused for a few years now. I may have used less than an inch and a half square but I feel good that I've used at least some of it!

We'd love to have you join us at CC&S for this colour challenge

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... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia . Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle. It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. 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. ...
