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.

Another combo ideal for a boy themed card again.

Case'd from Anne Marie Hile

I needed to make a baby card for a teacher at school who is going on maternity leave soon, so took advantage of this weeks challenge. I was worried that because I had to upsize my card base, that the elements would look a little lost, but I think it turned out ok.

- Petite Pairs - 122497

Cardstock & Ink
- Basic Gray
- Island Indigo
