Hello there! After taking a little break last week, my creativity is back in the saddle again for this week’s challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. We have a sketch to follow this week.
I originally planned to make another Easter card that I could donate to Send a Smile 4 Kids, but none of my Easter stamps seemed to fit the sketch very well. As I was browsing through my stamps I rediscovered a set of fruit and vegetable stamps I hadn’t used in a long time. The beet seemed like it would work with the sketch, if I flipped the sketch mirror-image. So I decided to roll with that idea. For the circular element, I thought about using a different color, or even a patterned paper, but in the end I went a much more CAS route by piercing the circular shape on the card panel. Then I stamped the beet and the sentiment, and I colored the sentiment with colored pencils blended with odorless mineral spirits. I attached the panel to a card base that matches the colored pencil better in real life than the photo makes it look.
I’m going to enter this into the current AAA Cards challenge. I concede that the corner idea might be a bit of a stretch, but since the last time I used this stamp set was 2015 I think I’ve gotten the twist of using older supplies.
What will you do with this sketch? There are so many possibilities! Be sure to go see what the rest of the Design Team has made. I hope you’ll try out something and share what you create with us!
