Enjoy and celebrate each day...

Hello everyone, I am back with another set of cards, one which showcases my love for hand drawing and inking and the other that showcases my developing love for stamps :) My first card is inspired by the sketch at Seize the Sketch #2 and by the theme at Addicted to CAS #20 - HOLIDAYS, for me holidays are best spent on the country side, away from the hustle bustle of the city :)

To make this, I hand drew the landscape, did making and inking (using Memento Dew drop dye Inks) to create the landscape. The houses and the trees were colored by markers. I created a mark for the sun on a scratch paper and did the inking on card base. The landscape was fuzzy cut and and stuck on my card base with foam dots. Finally sentiment (from Paper sweeties- You make me smile set) was added.

The challenges are -

1. Seize the Sketch #2 

2. Addicted to CAS #20 - HOLIDAYS,

Now my second card, I am usually unable to create something from the stamps I have, I mean my ideas and stamps don't always coordinate well. But now, I am purposely making an effort to use my stamps and improve my stamping skills :) This card is inspired by Sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch #42, the colors at Color Q #203 and by the concept at Addicted to Stamps & More #59 - CAS card. So, here's my card...

To make this card, I drew a rectangle on a white card stock, I masked this rectangle, then stamped the flowers (from Scrappy Cat - Garden collection) around it. This was then cut out and colored using markers.On the card base, I stamped the leaves and flourish (from Scrappy Cat - Garden collection). Butterfly (Martha Stewart stamps)was stamped and fuzzy cut. All the elements were stuck on card base with foam dots. Sentiment (from Paper sweeties- You make me smile set) was stamped and card was embellished with pearls (from Darice).

The Challenges are -

1. CAS(E) This Sketch #42 

2. Color Q #203 

3. Addicted to Stamps & More #59 - CAS card.
