At the weekend, between watching Formula 1 and getting some serious steps in, the craft room had my attention.
First with this CAS card.
AAA Cards have a challenge to use a Twinchie or something that is no bigger than 2 inches. I went old school with a CAS style first seen around 20 years ago. The hessian was carefully cut so that non of the sides exceeds the 2 inch rule. On top there is a Tando inchie stamped in copper with a Sugar Loaf image that is also abut 20 years old. Berry Red DI touched around the edge of the inchie, two hearts from the same stamp set also stamped in Berry Red and finally two red self adhesive gems on the hearts.
I did say a couple of challenges, here is the second card
It was the colour challenge #593 at Just us Girls that set me off, with their delicious combination of Yellow, Teal and Grey. I've used two different yellows here from my Whisper Pen set, and then combined them with a citrus green to create a third shade. A Teal/Turquoise pen coloured the stems and part of the Butterfly, while Peacock Feathers has been blended around the card edge. The grey is actually silver that has been heat embossed with a clear ep, the ep knocks the metallic effect back making the stamping look matt grey.
Over the DI on the edges I spread some crackle accents which products very find crackles, and helps spread the ink giving an interesting effect. The stamps used came from Chocolate Baroque.
So I'm sharing this with We Love Chocolate Baroque - Beautiful Blooms challenge
As the heat wave continues I'm grateful for a little lea way with mask wearing. My mask certainly have encumbered breathing and now with the added heat to just find a quiet place and moment to slip it off is a blessing. That said we need to be aware that case numbers are rising. Stay Safe, Keep Well & Have Fun.
Love both these cards, your wonderful CAS twinchie is delightful. I do love to see fabric on cards. Your gorgeous CB rose looks stunning in those colours and I love how you have added interest on your inked background. Thanks for joining us at we love Chocolate Baroque and for using that wonderful CB stamp xx
