CAS Colours & Sketches #549

Hello there!  It’s time for a sketch challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. 

I used basically the same color scheme as the previous CC&S color challenge.  I die cut two poinsettias, assembled them, and positioned them where I wanted on a base of linen textured cardstock.  I was able to use up some scraps of white and red cardstock for the sentiment strip.  Dimensional adhesives raise the sentiment strip up a bit above the poinsettias.  The end result is this very “clean and simple” styled card!

I’m also going to share this card with The Paper Players, who are looking for CAS-styled Christmas cards this week.

What kind of card will you make with the sketch?  The CC&S team and I would love to see!  Share it with us at the CC&S site by 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time Monday, December 2, 2024.

Supplies:
Stamp: Merry Messages (Lawn Fawn)
Cardstock: Solar White Linen and Solar White (Neenah); Real Red, Shaded Spruce, and Daffodil Delight (Stampin’ Up)
Ink: Real Red (Stampin’ Up)
Other: Stitched Poinsettia dies (Lawn Fawn)

Hello there!  It’s the first Tuesday of November, which means it’s time for a new color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches! 

The challenge colors strongly suggested Christmas, so I decided to dig up my blueprint-like Christmas stamps and use the holly image.  I had thought that I had this image in two different sizes, but I was wrong.  So, because the image is fairly large, I opted not to add a sentiment to the card, to maximize the white space available.  I stamped the image in one corner of a piece of white cardstock, colored the image with Copic markers, and then added a very narrow red mat behind the image panel before attaching it to the card base.  Very clean, simple, and easy!

What will you create with these challenge colors?  We’d love to see!  Share your card at the challenge site by 6:00 p.m. Eastern U.S. time Monday, November 18, 2024.  Thanks for stopping by today!

Supplies:
Stamps: Christmas Blueprint 4 (Tim Holtz)
Cardstock: Solar White (Neenah); Real Red, Shaded Spruce (Stampin’ Up)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento)
Other: markers (Copic)
