The CAS Colours & Sketches team is back with a fun new challenge today! I'm guest designing with them all month and this week the challenge is a great sketch! A little bit of a split or wave element down the center and then a non-geometric shape towards the bottom. This is definitely one of those challenges that I had a lot of ideas for but it took a while to get to one where I was happy with the finished product after a few trials. I took the split down the center of the sketch literally and used the Basic Borders cloud die to cut a piece of Basic White into two pieces. I adhered a piece of colorful Flowering Fields DSP in the center of the card base and then popped the cloud panels up with dimensionals. For my non-geometric shape I thought the windmill would be perfect to go with the tulip DSP. I stamped it in Soft Suede, highlighted a bit of it with a blender pen and Crumb Cake ink and then cut it out. I popped it up on a small piece of retired shimmer ribbon in Pear Pizzazz. It looked like it was just floating out in the clouds with out some sort of base! I dug through my stamps to find a smaller birthday greeting to fit with the scale of the windmill and found it in Penguin Place. I stamped it in Calypso Coral to the side of the windmill. And finally to balance the heavier elements at the bottom of the card I cut a few clouds and added them above the windmill. I also colored them with a bit of clear Wink of Stella which doesn't show up in the photo. Head over to CAS Colours & Sketches and see the fabulous samples from the Design Team and then play along! Thanks for looking! Did you stamp today?
