CAS COLOURS & SKETCHES # 448 DOUBLE CHALLENGE

 Hello crafty friends! It's the fifth Tuesday of November so you know what that means: a Timeless Tuesday Double Challenge at CC&S! Joanne, our Host, has prepared a new colour combo using some of her favourite retired Stampin' Up colours and a sketch from one of our previous challenges. 

I began by embossing the 'waves' with a die from MFT. Then I added a strip of patterned paper from Kaisercraft. I love the words on this paper, so I didn't add a sentiment. 

Then I stamped, coloured and die-cut the lighthouse. To finish I stamped the seagulls and mounted the lighthouse with dimensional tape. 

Stamps: Pretty Posh Pink Ahoy Matey

Die: MFT wave

CAS COLOURS & SKETCHES #443 SKETCH CHALLENGE

 Hi there Crafty Friends! It's time for another challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and we have Vicky as our host this month. She has given us another fun sketch to play with this week. 

I stamped the leaves using the second generation method with Antique Linen spritzed with water. When dry, I stamped again, repositioning the stamp and this time using Zig Markers and Distress Oxide Inks. 

I inked the edges and splattered with gold ink. The sentiment was originally stamped in gold, but then I went over it in red to get more depth. 

Stamps: Penny Black Nature's Gifts; SU sentiment

Die Spellbinders frame

Once again I turned to a Penny Black stamp to create with these gorgeous colours.

CAS COLOURS & SKETCHES #441 SKETCH

  Hi there Crafty Friends. It's time for a new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and it's a sketch challenge this week. Vicky has designed a unique and fun sketch for us. 

I had a sudden urge to use patterned paper, but made sure to use a very subtle pattern so the card would still be CAS.

I don't buy much patterned paper, the exception being at Kaisercraft sales when I can get 6" x 6" 

pads for 1/2 price. I inked the edges of the paper with Antique Linen, to get a vintage feel.  Then I matted it on my fave textured card-stock and used it for the sentiment as well.

Oh dear, no stamping or colouring on my card - it feels like I'm cheating😉.

CAS COLOURS & SKETCHES #440

 Hi there Crafty Friends. It's time for a new challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches and Vicky is hosting this month. She's created a colour combo that I think is gorgeous - I hope you agree and will play along with us. 

The colours made me think of Christmas and I'd just acquired a new Penny Black stamp set I thought would be perfect for this challenge...

I'm no expert at colouring, but I love trying out different mediums. I very rarely use colour pencils, but recently decided to make them more accessible, by taking them out of the tin and putting them on top of my trolley in a glass vase.  So now I use them more often and that's what I used on this card.

I stamped the deer on scrap paper, coloured with Prismacolor pencils, blending with Gamsol, then fussy-cut, leaving off the antlers. Then I stamped again and adhered with dimensional tape. I went over parts of the deer with Nuvo Glitter Gloss pen for some shimmer and added some rhinestones. 

Stamps: Penny Black My Deer.
