Thanks for stopping by today! Im so grateful that you have. Today, I am playing along with a colour challenge set by the design team over at Can You Case It? This week, it is a sketch challenge from Elizabeth. Ive included the inspiration below;



And, here is the card I ended up with;

I started off with the AWESOME specialty Designer Series Paper called Shine On.


I used the main elements of the sketch. I love the beetle stamp set - the images and the sentiments are just awesome. I am a real fan of using the same colour over the same colour - in this case Bermuda Bay card stock over Bermuda Bay card stock with Bermuda Bay candy dots. Its subtle - but I love it. What do you think?

I used the It's Wild background stamp from the annual catalogue. I added all of the different shades of red to the stamp and then the stripes of black over the top and then stamped it. I love the effect it created. And, I love how it looks on the Watermelon and Crumb Cake.


The sentiment is from the Suite Sayings set from the Occasions Catalogue and is white embossed on black.


As I was about to stick it down, I bumped the card and the bottom element moved which gave me the idea of rotating the bottom oval. I love how it looks slightly rotated. And, it I love the linen thread and vellum also.


What do you think? Have you tried using different colours on the background stamps like that before?

Hello my friend and thanks ever so much for stopping by today - I made a virtual card for you. But, before I get to that, I had some technical issues yesterday and some of you email subscribers might not have received yesterdays post. Thats really sad because yesterday, I was a part of a trans-continental blog hop linking the Crazy Crafters (Australia) and the Poolers (UK). There is some awesome work and I'd hate for you to miss out. Click here to see the post.

On with the show...

Today, I am playing along with two challenges; 1. Freshly Made Sketches and 2. Can You Case It?
Here are the sketch (somewhat similar) sketch inspirations for the week;

See how nicely I cut out the shapes? It looks great because I didn't cut ANYTHING out - I used the matching framelits. The framelit set comes with 18 separate dies and is called Pyramid Pals. Ill show you a project with those in the coming weeks. And, you can bundle the stamp set and save 15% too.
