Thank You Design

Hello! I have a quick post to enter a card for the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge #118.   I thought of a Geo-Die when I saw the design and used it to cut Navy CS with a White backing and added the design to white card base. I finished with Cheery Lynn Die cut words of yellow and some scoring on the edges.


Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

A CAS Hello!

Hello! Stopping by with a quick  card for the Challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch. I made this with a Navy card base and added a cut out made with a geo-die on Pink CS with a White back which showed when the die is folded.  I stamped a Winnie and Walters bold sentiment with Memento Nautical Blue on White CS and fussy cut and added to die cut.  I thought this was a dramatic card using the dark base.

Geometric Design

 Lovely day here in Ohio but cold... in the hi 30's and may reach lo 40's.  My card today is for the color challenge at CR84FN and using a sketch From Card Positioning system. This one is a bit different and more geometric than I have been doing lately. I used a base of a dark steel blue and matted with a gray cs embossed with CB EF Herringbone. Added a panel of yellow cs embossed with CB EF Polka Dots and punched corners on one side. Then came a lighter steel blue ( reverse side of the same blue cs) that I embossed with Diamond Plate. I then  added the design cut with a Geo-Die in yellow cs and "threw" on some dark blue butterflies cut with Martha Stewart punch. Finished with large stone in center and glitter domes on butterflies. Stamped the sentiment from Flourishes "Taglines" with Memento London Fog and embossed with clear EP. Not much stamping and no coloring going on here....just a lot of cutting, embossing, and punching to this card.

Christmas Spirit Challenge

 

Flourishes continues with their monthly Christmas Spirit Challenges.

This month we are to make a creation that is inspired by the photo above. Please use Flourishes stamps and  just link up on the SCS Christmas Spirit Challenge 17 thread.

This was a tough one for me but I finally was inspired by the shape of the hanging ornaments, the mirror over the fireplace, and the glass of the crystal glassware and the candles on the mantle as well as the colors of red, white and silver. I began by creating the look of the hanging ornaments by using a Geo-Die #8 with Glossy White Paper but used a single cut for the upper one and a double cut for the lower one. Using the same die to trace an outline I created the red pattern ornament doing some fancy cutting and scoring with Scor-Pal. I assembled the card with a white CS base, a red CS mat (inspired by the door), a Silver Metallic Mat (inspired by the mirror) and then stamped some Snowflakes and Sentiment (thought this was a joyful setting) with Versamark and embossed with red EP. I then attached the Ornaments and raised the red one with layers of Pop-up dots to create some dimension as in the Inspiration Photo.  I finished with large Red Gemstones that were inspired by the glass elements in the photo.  My photo has too much reflection of the tabletop on the silver mat. I did another photo with a different background and a different angle to show dimension and without wood reflection from desk top.

Stamps used were Flourishes "Alleluia Angel" (Sentiment) and "Warm Winter Wishes" (Snowflakes).

Today I have a cheerful card with cheerful colors.
 At There's Magic in the Air, Ildiko brings a color challenge to use a combo of Green, Yellow and Orange! Lollipop Crafts has a sketch challenge shown on lower left. Used a Paper Cupcakes digi "Hello Sunshine" that was free at TMITA this week. I colored it in Copics with some glazed highlights and cut with a circle die. I placed this on Geo-die Cut layer of yellow PP which I layered onto a green circle. Used a card base of white that I embossed and highlighted the raised surfaces with green ink. Added a strip of wide ribbon layered on green PP strip to the base. Added sentiment below the ribbon and attached the image layer.

Stamp TV Sketch

Love the Geo Die that I used in this card. Cut the design with only one cut from a Pattern Paper that has designs on each side. After doing the folds, I layered on a circle of white CS and then onto a Scallop circle of light blue.  This was attached to another circle scored across the top to create the inside of the card. I finished the center of the card with  the floral image stamped on a smaller circle and colored with markers and sponged. Finished with a ribbon and sentiment on a sponged oval.

Another Card in Navy, White, and Yellow

 I created this card using a new Geo-Die that I bought last weekend at

Cottage Stampers. I did a double cut with die on  navy CS backed with white and then folded the cut edges and  layered it on a circle of Wild Dandelion CS.  Layered this on Arglye embossed  white CS mat. Attached a butterfly that I stamped with navy ink on yellow CS and cut out...added some highlight with  embossing marker.  Added to card base of the yellow with ribbons, punched butterfly, and some dots(buttons)  stamped and punched with a hole punch. I used colors from Stamp TV challenge and a sketch from Critter Sketch Challenge but I had date wrong for the sketch challenge...it ended last week but this card fits their challenge for this week...so nothing wasted.

Challenge Links:

STVCSP20: Shown to right

         I used geo die, butterfly punch, and 1/4 " hole punch.

I am not sure if I really like this card. I think it is a bit too much ...may redo with a different element rather than the stamped butterfly...maybe a simple circle with a textfor the center of the geo die. But for now I will use for these challenges .
