You're Appreciated - CTD meets FMS

 

One of the FAV

at The Color Throwdown

A good friend of mine, who is also a co-worker, is leaving our department, so I made her an appreciation card.

I loved the colors offered this week by The Color Throwdown #666, and paired them with the lovely sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #509.

I wanted my card to be as CAS as possible, and it is almost a one layers card. I just felt the addition of the enamel dots are perfect.

I used Altenew's stamp set, both for the striped triangles and the sentiment.

The large triangles were stamped in Hero Arts' orange soda, and the small ones - in VersaFine toffee ink. The sentiment was stamped in Ranger's coffee archival ink.

Thank you for visiting my blog. your comments are much APPRECIATED!

A CAS birthday card

It's cold and rainy outside, and winter is here...

It  goes with the new color palette at The Paper Girls challenge 192:

I used CAS(E) This Sketch #355 (which is a retro one):

For the colored rectangle I used Lindy's Gang sprays (Tiffanylou Blue and Afternoon Delight Denim). 

I colored a piece of white cs with TH distress ink (Wild Honey) and then die cut feathers and stars. 

A little bow with baker's twine, a sentiment stamped with Versafine ink (Majestic Blue), some silver Robin's Nest drops - and my card is ready.

It also goes for the 'Use a Die' challenge at Happy Little Stampers:

Honourable Mention

November 2019

This is a new page in my art journal notebook, for two challenges.

The 1st - More Than Words challenge - success plus a key:

When I look back, I realize that the most successful things in my life were things I dreamt about, and then made them happen. So for me 'if you can dream it, you can do it' is the key to success. I also adhered a small key next to the message, to make it stand as my say.
