CAS Challenge #151

By | November 23, 2015

A quick post to add my card to CAS Challenge no 151.  This week was a challenge for me as these are three colours I would not have put together myself and hope I have done them justice, as individually I love them all!

Here are the three colours

And here is the card I came up with.  It uses one of the oldest sets in my collection (which is only 2 years old, I hasten to add, so it’s not a classic set just yet!) and if you look closely there is a sneak peek of an upcoming set called Suite Sayings. I received this during Stampin’ Up’s OnStage event in Brussels last weekend and I can see already I will be using it a lot.

I hope you like it, do leave me a comment and let me know what you think as I love to hear from you.

Until next time, happy crafting,

    Your floral sprays are stamped beautifully and I love the raised flowers. Thanks for joining in with our challenge at CC&S this week. Stef x

      Thank you so much Stef. This colour combination was out of my comfort zone but that’s what challenges are all about, and I was quite pleased with the result. Delighted you liked it too.

      It’s fair to say this colour combination was a challenge for me, but delighted you like the end result.

    The floral sprays are gorgeous! I like that you’ve punched the flowers so that they have dimension. The rhinestones are a sweet finishing touch that complements the ribbon and the mat behind the sentiment. Thanks for sharing your lovely card with us at CC&S! 🙂

      Thank you Patricia. It’s a set I don’t use enough but thought it went well with the delicate leaf pattern in the sentiment. So pleased you like it.

      Thanks Jane, Flowering Flourishes had been hidden away for a while but it was on my desk for a recent wedding card and thought I might try it for this one, delighted you like it.
