Colourful Vase of Blooms and a Sweet Friend

 Here's a card inspired by this month's Altenew Inspiration Challenge. I love the colours and very losely followed the sketch ( which in my mind I flipped 180 degrees). ...

 I made the background with Distress Oxides and an Altenew  stencil.

The flowers and foliage were coloured with the same inks and the vase was subtly shaded with Zig marker and Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Gloss Pen.  I then stamped the sentiment in white ink and heat embossed. 

Stamps: Altenew Versatile Vases, Perfectly Perfect

Stencil: Altenew Sketched Lines

I'm sharing my card at the following challenges:-

For a Lady

My next card is inspired by the Global Design Project Challenge. It's Case the Designer week, which is my fave. I hope you like my C.A.S.E. (Copy And Selectively Edit) card. 

I copied the yellow wash, using inks and Nuvo Shimmer Powder. I used a die cut like the original card,  but used a bee. I layered the black and white die-cuts to get more definition.  The diagonal stripes were stamped with a very old stamp. 

Stamps: Stampin Up Honey Bee, Mama Elephant Striped Border

Die: Stampin Up Honey Bee

CAS Colours & Sketches #425

It's time for a Sketch Challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. Shanon has created a fun CAS sketch for us. 

I just happened to have this Flora & Fauna stamp set on my desk, so I knew at once what I would make.

I mase the white panel with a Penny Black Die, but made it longer by partially die cutting.

I stamped and coloured the images with Altenew Inks and Karin Markers.

Stamps: Flora & Fauna Fa La Lama

Die: Penny Black Antique Frame; SSS Sentiment

I hope you'll check out the CC&S blog to see what the rest of the design team and our  Guest Designer have created.  We hope you'll be inspired to make your own card, which needs to be linked to  the challenge post by 6:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday.
