CAS Colours and Sketches #411

 

Are you ready for spring?  Don't hate me but the weather here in south Florida is absolutely gorgeous right now.  It's my most favorite time of the year (here) but it only lasts a few weeks. Our dreaded heat and humidity will be creeping back in very soon.

In anticipation of spring, YoonYoung has chosen a delightful spring color palette for us to try this week at the CAS Colours and Sketches challenge blog.



For our color challenges, you must use all of the stated challenge colors. You may also use neutral colors; 
however, the challenge colors should be the most noticeable ones featured on your card. 
We use Stampin' Up  color names for reference, but you are welcome to use any other companies' 
products as long as you match the challenge colors as closely as possible.   









I began with a simple sunflower die cut from white cardstock and then blended it with different inks to match up to the challenge colors.  If I were a better photographer you would see that my colors match this week's trio far better than the image suggests.  But alas, I am not.  

I cut a decorative edge from the left side of a white card panel and adhered it to the right edge of a larger yellow panel.  I assembled my florals adhering some directly onto the cardstock while other pieces are popped up with a bit of foam tape.  I white heat embossed the sentiment onto a yellow blended cardstock scrap.  All that was left to do was assemble my card front.  I really love how bright and cheery this turned out and will probably use it as a birthday card.

Supplies:
SimonSaysStamp - sunflower die
Altenew - Notebook die
Felicity Jane - sentiment

I do hope you'll find some time to play with this wonderful color collection this week!  I hope to see you in the gallery.


Continue to stay safe and healthy my friends.

  1. Haha, no, I don't hate you for your lovely weather Julie, I'm just glad that someone, somewhere has the perfect weather. We are still patiently waiting for things to warm up...
    Your sunflowers are the happiest flowers! I love the way you presented them with the embossed tag and that fabulous note book style die. Vicky x

  2. Julie, I adore your card, and haven't met a sunflower I didn't love - this one is fabulous!! Beautifully blended, and a very happy sentiment, too!

  3. They are pretty colours, and perfect for a big happy sunflower! The notebook edge die is a great choice. (Maybe my sunflowers will get a chance to grow this year, instead of being munched as soon as I put them on the deck...)

  4. I have total weather envy Julie - I would so love to live in your part of the world! I will have to imagine the sunshine and make do with those fabulous diecut sunflowers instead. Love the border edge detail too!
