CAS Colour Challenge

By
Now that Spring is on it's way it's maybe time for some pretty floral cards and as I was choosing the colours this week over on CAS - Colours & Sketches I was thinking pale pinks and soft greens - why then did I spoil it all by adding dark brown?????? Anyway for the die hard crafters among you here are the actual colours


And here is my card. (Remember that Stampin' Up colours are not compulsory - the nearest you have in your stash will do just as well).


This really is a rubbish photo - but I loved how this card evolved. I only had tiny scraps of Early Espresso in my stash and this lovely circle so that was the starting point. I die cut the lattice and then as my pink flowers did not show up very well on the white I added an embossed oval to the middle. I'm thinking I may use this for Easter as the middle looks rather like a cross.

Materials - Stampin' Up
Stamps: Petite Petals
Ink: Pink Pirouette
Card Stock: Whisper White, Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz
Accessories: Big Shot, Lattice Die, Petite Petals Punch, Basic Rhinestones

    The dainty flowers and latticework really pop against the dark brown. It's a fabulous card, Jacqueline!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...

For one reason or another I haven't played this game for a few weeks - you know the one over on  Julia's blog  - go and see if you don't know what I'm on about. I have missed playing along as I love all the lovely comments left by fellow crafters and so I have purposely made time to join in this week.
