Sweet Peony

Hi Crafty Friends!

Sharing another card I made just for fun because I fancied doing some colouring ....

... and because I love this gorgeous Peony stamp set by Uniko. It's stamped and coloured using my metallic pencils and finished off with a bit of stencilling.

I didn't add a sentiment, because I felt it would detract too much from the beautifully drawn bloom.

That's it from me for today.

Hi Crafty Friends!

Thanks so much for your lovely comments on yesterday's card. So glad you liked it.

I'm sticking with the one corner theme for today's card, here it is ...

I die-cut and assembled a few of these little trees a while ago ready for when I needed a quick card. Well, I needed a get well soon card and made this as my first attempt, the second one is to follow tomorrow.

I used one of the trees and attached it to a stencilled and stamped background finished off with a tiny stamped sentiment and sequin.

I am entering my card at:

AAA Cards CAS Game #159 - one corner, optional twist: love your older supplies, the stamps I used for the background stamping are from a set I've had for a number of years plus I haven't used them in a while

That's it from me for today. Have a lovely weekend!

Hello Crafty Friends!

I am feeling honoured to be guest designing this month for CAS Colours & Sketches. Thanks to Patricia, Jeanne, Fiona, Holly, Karen, Samantha, Wei and YoonYoung for asking me.

Their first challenge this month is all about using a set of colours, here is my take on it ....

I didn't have the matching colours, but had some quite close in Blushing Bride and Rose Red SU inks combined with London Fog Memento ink which I used for watercolouring this lovely peony before layering on my rose red base card.

I am entering my card at:
Craft Stamper Take It Make It February Challenge - Anything Goes
Uniko Challenge #51 - Anything Goes, optional twist LOVE 

I'm keeping it short and sweet. If you love the colours and like creating CAS cards, why not join the challenge. You can find all the details on the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge blog here.

Hope to see you there. Have a lovely day!
