There's a new card challenge in town called Perfectly CAS and I love the concept. The challenge is to design a card using only up only 1/3 of the card front, leaving lots of nice empty white space. (Although white space doesn't necessarily have to be white.) I love this look but rarely think to create this way so I'm looking forward to all of the challenges ahead.
The theme for this first challenge is flowers.
True confession. I don't make floral cards all that often. Why? Because the coloring intimidates the heck out of me. I have been wanting to take a class at Kit and Clowder but I never seem to make the time. I need to do that but for now, here's my card.
I decided to use the top 1/3 of my card as the focal point. Both the image and the sentiment are some of my most often used favorites from Altenew. I added a bit of sparkle using a gel pen to create the little dots around the floral image.
Sweet and simple and I'm excited to play along. Thanks for stopping by. I hope to see you on the crafty side!

This is so pretty! Despite my CAS tendencies, using just one-third of the card front (let alone just one layer?) is really tough for me. But this is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteJules, don't let that coloring hold you back - you've done beautifully! How will we get any better if we don't practice?

Loving all the white space! This is a perfect CAS card and I think your colouring/shading is well done. Thanks for joining us at Perfectly CAS.

I'm with you in finding colouring florals a challenge...yet I have sooooo many flower sets! Silliness! Give me layered ones to ink, though, and that I can do!
ReplyDeleteYour colouring here: spot-on gorgeous! Love the blue; love the 'at the top' design! Thrilled to see you at the first Perfectly CAS challenge (and hopefully in those to come!)
