The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #26

Welcome from Alison's blog this week. 
We are up to challenge #26 Sketch #13.



I am thinking that my favourite style is CAS at the moment, as I went for another CAS card this week although the sketch did lend to that beautifully.
Washi tape makes life very simple when it comes to adding strips to a card and the colours in the Retro Fresh range are some of my favourite as well.

Cardstock & Ink
- Calypso Coral

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #25



Welcome from Annette's blog and to Colour Combo #13

Its a colour rainbow this week and I really did have a lot of fun with it.

I used sponged daubers on shimmery white paper  this week to create a rainbow, then I cut it out with the largest Butterflies Thinlits Die . I love the effect that was created (not that you can see the subtle shimmer in this photo). Also, I don't know if it is cheating or not, but I used a couple of extra neutral colours for the picket fence.

The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #23

Welcome from Anna's place on our Adelaide Cup Public Holiday Monday.

We have a colour challenge this week.


I decided to keep it CAS (Clean and Simple) this week and used a Youtube tutorial by Wendy Cranford found here. She actually made 3 cards using this one stamp set (actually the same set I used last week) and this one worked perfectly with four colours so therefore was ideal to use for the colour combo challenge.
I had fun using my Aqua painter and thought that it turned out pretty good. I also added the Crushed Curry ribbon from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack in our SAB catalogue. I am honestly thinking that this Occasions Catalogue and SAB Catalogue are one of the best ever. There are so many great stamp sets and accessories that I think I love nearly all of them.

Any who, here is the recipe.

PROJECT RECIPE
Stamps
- Big Day 139112 (Sale-A-Bration)

 Cardstock & Ink
- Whisper White
- Rich Razzleberry
- Crushed Curry
- Bermuda Bay
- Coastal Cabana
- Tuxedo Black Memento Ink - 132708

 Stampin' Up! Accessories
- Best Year Ever Accessory Pack - 138634
- Aqua Painters - 103954

 Thanks for stopping by. Next on the hop is Nicole's place.
