CAS Colours & Sketches #245

Hello!  It’s time for another color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches!  I think this week’s color combination is rather unique, so I’m looking forward to seeing what our challenge participants do with it.

It took me a while to figure out what to make.  Finally I settled on flowers.  One can never go wrong with flowers, right?  I stamped the stems in the lime green color.  Then I used a punch to create the blossoms and sponged a bit of the same color ink on them so they wouldn’t look so “flat”.  I used glue dots to adhere the blossoms to the background.  The glue dots give them a tiny bit of lift off the background so they have a little dimension.  Candy dots in the third color from the challenge combo worked perfectly for the centers of the flowers.  The “thanks” stamp is a freebie I received in an order from Lawn Fawn about five years ago.  I decided to offset the focal panel and have the mats go around just two edges of the card for a little extra visual interest as opposed to having the mats go around all four edges.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you’ll join us over at CAS Colours & Sketches with your own take on these colors!  You have until 6:00 p.m. Eastern time Monday, October 23 to link your card at the challenge website.  Also, we’re looking to add some new members to our design team, so if this is something you’re interested in, be sure to add the letters “DT” to your name when you link your card, and play along in next week’s sketch challenge, too!
