A birthday card, with triangles in cool colors

 And another CAS and quick card, this time in cool colors - huse of blue and purple, inspired by the 2nd challenge at AAA Colourful:

I used one stamp from Altenew 'Sohcahtoa' stamps set.

It also goes for some more challenges:

AAA Cards, with this sketch:

I used the sketch very loosely... I was inspired by line of elements, rotated it to horizontal lind, and used triagngles as my element.

Three vases for a 'Mazal Tov' card

 

Happy Saturday dear crafty friends!

Today's card is in rather cool colors, inspired by the challenge at Color Throwdown, which asked for light blue, gray and brown:

I partially embossed a white panel, and grounded the vases on a brown cs stripe, which was also embossed in a woodgrain look, so the vases are standing on a wooden shelf.

From a light gray cs I die cut 3 vases, in different shapes (Sizzix Bigs Crockery), and partially distressed them with Distress Oxide 'tumbled glass'.

The vases were adhered on the woodgrain shelf with foam dots, and I added some pre-cut leaves in two brown hues and light blue.

The sentimen, 'Mazal Tov', is from some old letter stickers, in dark brown.

For the layout, I followed a sketch given in a local FB group:

Two birthday cards, using solid cardstock scraps

 Every now and then, I go to my solid cardstocks scraps, and try to use them and reduce the big pile.

For these two cards, I went for warm colors. 

The first:

I adhered the stripes on a black cs (also from the scraps bin), and for the interest I adhered them in different hights.

Then I adhered it to a white basis, add a sticker, and that's it. I didn't feel like adding any additional accents.

It goes for the AAA Birthday challenge blog, which asked for 'Geometric', and I used rectangles:

Since I was left with scraps from this card, I decided to make another one:

This time, I used kraft basis, turned the stripes to the side, again in different hights, and added some leaves in cooler colors, to make this card more colorful.

So this 2nd card is for the 'Colourful' challenge at AAA Colourful challenge:

And here both of the cards together:

It doesn't show well on the photo, but the diagonal stripes are from a shimmery olive cardstock.

It has been ages since I last posted here, but it feels 

so good to be back again :).

Today's CAS card was inspired by some of my fav challenge blogs, and I also decided to challenge myself to make this card using only solid cardstocks.

Freshly Made Sketches #626 with a fantastic sketch by Cecil:

As soon as I saw this sketch I knew I will use the still not used dies set by Sizzix called 'Flowers in Umbrella'.

CAS on Friday #278, which asked for 'Hello.

I also used for the first time the mini die by Xcut for the sentiment.
