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:

Just be YOU, with scribbled flowers

 

This card was inspired by the colors given at The Color Throwdown #747, which are aqua, yellow and red:

A year ago, CTD had a very simmilar color combo, and I was their featured stamper. Then I made two cards, and you can see them HERE and HERE.

This time I didn't want to make a 'Disney' themed card, and oftef for a floral one.

I used scraps for this one (my goal to reduce the ammount of scraps running around here!). I die cut several scribbled flowers in white, adhered them to scraps of cardstock in the challenge's colors, and aranged them on the white backgroun, adding some outlined leaves in blsck.

I run the background cs through my Big Shot with a dotted leaves plate, and before adhereing the flowers and the leaves, I stamped the sentiment.

The small black dots are also from scraps of cs.

It also goes for the SimonSays Wednesday challenge, which is 'Lots of Layers'.

And the 'Anything with dies' challenge at Happy Little Stampers:

Many sprigs and leaves CAS card

 

Here's my take on the current color challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches #496, which asked for pale grayish green, olive green and dark brown:

I must admit - these colors were a little intimidating for me, and it took me awhile to decide what am I going to do with them.

Finally, I decided to go for a flower and leaves. I stmped the sketch flower in dark brown on a pale grayish green cardstock, and die cut it (Papertrey Ink Pop Up Florals).

I die cut a stitched hexagon shape and run it with a pierced leaves die. I matted the hexagon with dark brown cardstock.

I adhered the flower on top of the white hexagon, using some foam tape for dimention. I stackec lots of sprigs and leaves in brown and the two shades of green under the flower, and added a glitter dark brown enamel dot in the middle.

I die cut the sentiment in green and brown and adhrered a little overlapping each other, as if there's a shaddow.

I really love the contrast of the white hexagon against the kraft basis, and the natural atmosphere of this card.

Only Solid Cardstock - Thankful

 

A CAS card, using scraps of solid cardstock, the same colors I used my previous card.

I simply adhered thin stripes of solid cardstocks to a white one, I cut a piece and then run the 'new paper' throw my Big Shot with a piercing die.

From the pierced one, I die cut the feathers and the flower frame. From the other piece I just cut two stipes, and matted them with white cardstock.

I punched a burst flower, adhered it to the center of the flower frame, and added two tiny cardstock dots.

The sentiment was die cut twice from a golden cardstock, and I embellished with 3 tiny cardstock dots.

I really love the outcome, and the fact that a CAS card can also be very colorful and even vibrant.

A birthday card - Freshly Made Sketches + CAS Colours & Sketches

 

Today I would like to share with you a card I made following two challenges:

Freshly Made Sketches #530:

And CAS Colours & Sketches #464:

I used a pierced leaves die for the white cs, and matted it with a green cs. I stamped the flower in pink, the stem in green and the leaves in sage. I die cut all the parts and adhered them to the pierced panel. I added glittery enamel dots to the stem.

I adhered the panel to a sage/moss cs.

I stamped the sentiment on a white cs, matted with green, and both cut in an angle, for some interest.
