CAS Colours and Sketches #373



It's the first Tuesday in June (WHAT???) and we have a new color combo for you over at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge blog.  The colors were chosen by Samantha and I think I'm in love.  









I used one large floral stamp and a three colored pencils to create my focal image.




As you can see, I used a very light touch with my pencils.  I had one blue, one green and one white in a mix of Prismacolor and Polychromos.  Here's a closer look-see.  





I stamped the outline and sentiment in black pigment ink, colored in the image, added the panel to a card front made with Neenah Desert Storm 110 lb card stock and then finished it off with a  few clear droplets as accents. 


While I had the stamp out I decided to try a similar card front on kraft card stock.  The blue pencil wasn't showing up anywhere near the Pool Party color so I scrapped the color challenge theme and went with some darker accents in a different shade of blue pencil.   We'll just call it this one a Bonus Card.  :-)





Supplies:
Altenew Delicate Bouquet floral stamp
Altenew Super Script sentiment stamp set
Assorted colored pencils
Neenah cardstock in 110 lb Solar White and 110 lb Desert Storm
HoneyBee Stamps - clear droplets

I'm curious.  Colors aside, which card do you prefer?  The white panel or the kraft panel?  I honestly can't choose.  I love them both.  (Am I allowed to say that?  *blush*)

I hope to see your card in our gallery this week!

Stay safe and healthy my friends!

  2. Two beautiful cards! Since we're both rebels anyway, I may just like the second one a teeny bit more. ;)

  3. I always love seeing people use the same stamp different ways - it's interesting and also appeals to my thriftier side! I love the two looks you've achieved here - they are beautiful!
