Pink CAS

Hi everyone,

 

Clean and simple (CAS) cards are always a challenge for me as I automatically go for layers.  So I wanted to try the current challenge at Less is More which is to create a one layer card with
3 stamps.

 

Yes this was definately a challenge for me. I had lots of ideas but nothing was working and I nearly gave up.  In the end I just started to try out different things to see what worked.

 

In the end I settled on Very Vanilla card stock and a monochromatic look in pink.  I have used Regal Rose, Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink for the inks.

 

I have used two stamp sets Word Play – love all the sentiments in this set and the Vintage Vogue stamp set which I have not used for a while.

 

I stamped the sentiment in Melon Mambo in the left hand corner of the card and then created a sort of border with the swirly flowery image from the Vintage Vogue set. This was stamped in Pretty in Pink.

 

I left a space near the end of the swirly border and stamped the smaller flower image in the space in Regal Rose ink.

 

Couldn’t resist adding some bling to the flower :)

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Word Play, Vintage Vogue

Card: Very Vanilla
Ink: Regal Rose, Pretty in Pink, Melon Mambo

Accessories:  Basic Rhinestones 

 

 

Happy that I managed to create something and I used the sentiment I wanted to use – bonus!

Imagine

Hi everyone – the middle of the week and I hope it is all going well for you :)

 

Just wanted to share a card with you that I have created.

 

I found the latest colour challenge at City Crafter Challenges which is to use black/grey and white with a hint of pink.

 

Now what girl doesn’t love pink and I love the neutral challenges that have just a hint of colour, so I combined the colours with the Clean and Simple sketch #186.

 

I used the wanted to do something different with the sketch that had circles or something that I could create in a circular shape.  The stamp set that I decided to use was Just Believe, which has been sitting around for a while, so I used the circular flower image and stamped it in Pretty in Pink on Whisper White cardstock.

 

Now I didn’t want to use all circular shapes on the card but I need something smaller but fitting with the flowers. My answer – the  trusty Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die it  just jumped out at me once more.  So I cut out three small butterflies in Basic Black cardstock.

 

The sentiment “Imagine the Possibilities” is from the Word Play stamp set and there is always room for ‘bling’ so I dressed up the butterflies :)

 

All the circle images and butterflies have dimensionals on them just to add a bit of depth.

 

Here is my card:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Supplies:

Stamp set: Just Believe, Word Play

Card: Pretty in Pink, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Basic Black

Accessories:  Beautiful Butterflies Embosslits Die, Eyelet Border Punch, 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) Circle Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive

What a Beautiful Autumn Day..

Hi everyone,

 

It has been a beautiful day today and we have been at the Easter Show.  It was glorious Autumn  weather, we checked out all the animals at the show, wood chopping and Charlize’s best part.. the Show Bags ! 

 

Now on to the card that I want to share a card with you.  The colours are from the colour challenge at  Come and Get It Color Challenge – Pear Pizzazz, Baja Breeze and Perfect Plum.

 

The sketch layout is from Mojo Monday Blog and it looked really simple but my goodness I changed my mind on how use the colours with the sketch and the stamp sets I was going to use many times.

 

I finally decided on Perfect Plum for the base of the card and added some the Pear Pizzazz 1/2” (1.3 cm) Stitched-Poly Ribbon.

 

The stamped flower is from the Array of Sunshine (Hostess set) and for the first layer I stamped it in Baja Breeze and rocked the stamp around on the edge of the Perfect Plum inkpad.  I then stamped out two more flowers in Baja Breeze and Perfect Plum, cut them out and layered it all together with some dimensionals.

 

The Perfect Plum layer has been embossed with the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder and at the last minute I added a bright shiny Rhinestone, of course :)

 

The sentiment is from the Word Play stamp set and has been stamped in Perfect Plum.

 

Here is my card….
