Hello there! It’s sketch challenge time at CAS Colours & Sketches. This is a fun little sketch that can allow you to use up a few scraps – because goodness knows we all have scraps of cardstock and designer papers!

I shopped around a few other challenge blogs to help give me ideas for today’s card. AAA Cards is celebrating their 10th birthday – congratulations, y’all! – with a theme of, of course, birthdays. The Paper Players is looking for cards that are clean and simple and that are humorous or punny. Those led me to revisiting this cute otter image and related punny sentiment. I stamped the otter on a scrap of white cardstock and colored him with Copics. I wasn’t in the mood to fussy cut around his whiskers, so I planned to draw them extending out from the sides of his face after I attached him to the watery-look designer paper – but then I forgot until after I took the photo. Ooops. So, he’s a short whiskered otter.

Hello there! I’m hosting the challenges for the month of May at CAS Colours & Sketches, so I’m getting back in the proverbial game and making some cards this month.

Our first challenge of the month is a color challenge. When I chose these colors a few months ago, I had a vague idea I’d do some sort of nature scene with them, but I didn’t have anything definite in mind. This week, I needed to make a sympathy card for a friend whose father recently passed away. So I decided to do a watercolor wash with some Pool Party and Lost Lagoon ink, and stamp the evergreen tree over the wash colors with Basic Gray ink (since I don’t have Pebbled Path, I had to make a substitution). Very easy, very clean and simple.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has made. What will you create with these colors? We’d love to see! You have until 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time Monday, May 20 to link your card at the challenge post. Thanks for stopping by today!

All supplies for this card are from Stampin’ Up except as noted.
Stamps: Lovely As A Tree, Thoughts & Prayers
Cardstock: The Langton Prestige Extra Smooth Hot Press watercolor paper (Daler-Rowney); Lost Lagoon, Pool Party
Ink: Basic Gray
Other: Pool Party and Lost Lagoon reinkers
