CAS Colours & Sketches #416

  Hi there. It's time for another Colour themed challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge.

I was originally planning to use a white card, which looked ok, but I couldn't believe how much prettier the colours look on the black.

I coloured the die-cuts with Distress Oxide and Altenew Inks and then used a mix of embossing powders.

The butterfly was coloured with my trusty Zigs.

CAS Colours & Sketches #413 (Double Challenge)

 Hello there! We have 5 Tuesdays this month,  which means it’s time for a double challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches!  This week we’re asking our challenge participants to combine the given colours with the given sketch.

I had an old Kaisercraft stamp set sitting on my desk, so I decided to make a very simple and CAS

card for this combined theme challenge. 

I sponged some Altenew and Distress Inks on the cards and then stamped the flourish. 

The butterfly was coloured with Zig Markers. 

Next I embossed the lines and then stamped the sentiment.

Stamps: Kaisercraft (Butterfly and  flourish); SSS (sentiment)

CAS Colours & Sketches #407

 It's time for another colour challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches.  Julie is our host and she's given us a really gorgeous colour palette to play with! 

I made a few watercolour backgrounds, with Zig Markers and Distress Inks in each of the colours and then die-cut the flowers, foliage and rectangle.  The twine was died with the blue ink.  To finish I added a touch of bling:)

I  have left the card without a sentiment, because I like to add the appropriate sentiment when I use the card.
