CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #257 – The Double

Hello there!

Since it’s the fifth week in January, we are having the double challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches.

This week our hostess, Beverley, has chosen a previous CC&S sketch and some retired Stampin’ Up! colors to inspire us. (tap the figure below for the details at CC&S)

Here is how I’ve used the sketch and the color combo…

  1. Create a top-fold A2 card base.
  2. Die cut a Stitched Rectangle from Green Watercolor patterned paper, stamp the sentiment on the botton and adhere to the card base.
  3. Die cut a Stitched Heart from Roses All Over patterned paper.
  4. Die cut the solid and lace butterfly from white card stock. Color the solid butterfly with Copic markers. Layer the lace butterfly with foam tape on the solid one.
  5. Arrange and layer the heart and butterfly on A2 card base.

Thank you for spending some time with me.

I hope you can head on over to the CC&S blog to enter the challenge and to see more inspiration from the awesome Design Team.

Here is how I’ve created…

  1. The box was assembled with two pieces of white card stock.
  2. The background was stenciled with Distress Oxide inks. Stamp the Modern Trees and dot the snow with a white jelly pen on the background.
  3. The birch trees and snowdrifts were die cut from white paper.
  4. The deers were die cut from gold sparkle card stock.
  5. The tiny hearts were die cut from red card stock.
  6. All the pieces were layer up with double sided tapes.

It’s my first attempt to create a shadow box and it took me hours to finish it. Although it’s a little tricky, but I have an idea to create anothet one for the upcoming Chinese New Year!

HI-YA!

Hello there!

Today I am sharing a single layer card following the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch.

cts_256549741675.jpg

I tried to add movement by stamping the image several times in lighter shade and using masking technique.

I colored the images with Copic markers: 100, C7, C5, C3, C1; R29, R27, R24, R22, R20; E02, E01, E00, E000, E50.

I seldom created one layer card because I am not good at  fussy cutting. For joining the challenge at Less is More, I did try to create a single layer card few days ago. But I forgot the rules at LIM, the one I created will be disqualified. I think it is nice to tell a participant that I’ve broken the rules in the comment. Then I can fix my entry for the next time and make it better!

Thanks for spending some time with me and I hope you can revisit my blog again.
