CAS - Colours and Sketches Challenge #1

I am very excited to say that I am now part of the Design Team at a brand new challenge blog!

It is a CAS inspired challenge that incorporates sketches and colours. Our lovely leader, Jacqueline, has come up with an awesome combination to kick it all off!

For this challenge you need to follow the colour chart AND the sketch provided. If you don't have the exact colours (like me), that's OK. Just use the closest shades you have!

PLUS - You must use stamps on your card!

Here is my card -

I have substituted Cherry Cobbler for Real Red. I have used a Hero Arts stamp and die set and created the 3D elements. I have popped the squares up on dimensionals (not so noticeable) and used the matching sentiments from my Petite Pairs set.

Hop over and check out this brand new blog and what the DT have created! You are going to love it and we can't wait to see what you come up with.

Addicted to Red and White

Good morning!! What an eventful day here already. I was up trying to get photos of the solar eclipse but wasn't really prepared so had to be content with watching it on the news. It was a spectacular sight to watch it happen live.

Over at Addicted to Stamps and More! we have a colour challenge to share with you.

RED AND WHITE

Here is my card -

I have used my Delightful Decorations set to create the 3D ornaments that I learnt over at Technique Tuesday. I have stamped them in Real Red then punched them out with the ornament punch.

The DSP is from my Festival of Prints stack and then I have embossed the white panel with my Perfect Polka Dots folder.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges

Technique Tuesday - 3D Punched Elements

Crafty Sentiments - Christmas

Platypus Creek - Christmas Red & White

3D Ornaments

I've been wanting to try this technique ever since I had my Delightful Decorations and Ornament Keepsake sets. Much to my delight it is the technique over at Technique Tuesday!!! Wooo hooo. Thanks Mynnette! You must be a mind reader! I decided I like the sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches and put it all together.

Now, this card took me HOURS..... lol. I decided on the ornament I wanted but of course it is part of a die set not a punch so it took me a while to die cut everything out.

Here is my card -

The colours I have used for the ornament are -

Perfect Plum, Real Red, Wild Wasabi and Marina Mist.

I followed the technique that Mynnette has shown us to create the 3D ornaments. Aren't they cute?

I have used double dimensionals to pop the panel off the card and then stamped using my Stamp-a-ma-jig the sentiment from my Petite Pairs set with Real Red.

Here is the sketch I followed -

Thanks so much for looking xx
