CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge # 207

This week we have another sketch challenge from Karen, she's really on a roll with these.


I'm not sure about wiggly lines, especially because I don't have a trimmer that is suitable to cut cardstock or paper and I'm a bit lethal with a craft knife (only to myself). But, photopolymer stamps are great for curving. Especially those that have long thin images. Once I figured that out I knew exactly what I wanted to try.

It did take me a couple of goes to get a shape that I was happy with. In fact, there are three stamped lacy images on my project, and I actually had all three on the acrylic block at the same time. This  meant that I could stamp them all at once and there was no need to try to line things up individually.


The lacy images come from a stamp set called Delicate Details. It's one of the stamp sets you can currently get for free as part of Sale-A-Bration.

My card base is made out of Crumb Cake cardstock and I added both a Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla layer to the base card. You can see this better in the photo below.

I wanted to keep the card fairly neutral colour wise so I used Early Espresso and Crumb Cake inks. I used the Early Espresso for the lace and both Early Espresso and Crumb Cake for the banner/sentiment.


The sentiment and banner come from a stamp set called Banners for You.  There are in fact dies that can be used to cut out the banners, but in this instance I quickly fussy cut it out with a pair of paper snips. I finished off the banner with a couple of pearls because I felt it needed a little extra.

Thanks for stopping by to check out my project, please feel free to leave a comment. I hope you decide to enter a card for the challenge and you have until 11.00 pm next Monday (30 Jan) to do so.
