CAS Colours & Sketches #401

 Welcome to my first post as an official Design Team member for CAS Colours & Sketches. I am so thrilled to be joining this talented team! 


This week is a colour challenge, hosted by Jeanne. It's such a pretty colour combo I couldn't wait to get started.

I stamped the butterfly with Zig Markers directly on the stamp, spritzing with water. I used a dark grey around the edges to add definition.    I then coloured in the image with Twinkling H2Os, which made it lovely and shimmery. The butterfly was then clear embossed and fussy cut. I die-cut the bottom corner of the card-front and then matted with the same card and a teal card-base. The sentiment was stamped on a strip of card-stock and added to card with dimensional tape.  A few rhinestones added a touch of bling.



I wonder what you think of when you see these colours? I hope you'll visit the CC&S Blog to see what the rest of the team have created and will be inspired to make your own CAS card using these colours.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)
