CAS Colours & Sketches #183

Hey!

It's a new month over at CAS Colours & Sketches with LOTS of fun challenges in store. As it is the summer months we are taking it in turns to be a hostess for the week. This week our hostess is the lovely Stef.

Stef has come up with this lovely colour combo HERE and seen below for you to try...

With the Summer finally arriving this week here in the UK, my thoughts have been tropical again, so this is how my card turned out...

 

I was quite pleased as I have two of the 3 colours this week, so I didn't have to colour match. All the supplies are listed at the end of the post.

My card is just simple stamping of the Hibiscus and tropical leaves on a panel of whisper white CS. After I had finished stamping I sliced the panel at an angle and adhered it to a Tip Top Taupe card base, leaving a space for a white embossed sentiment.

Ok, that's all from me for now, I hope I have inspired you to give these colours a go and join in on the challenge this week. Be sure to stop on over HERE and check out what the rest of the CAS Colours & Sketches DT have done using the colours and I hope to see you in the gallery.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Supplies:

Stamps: Uniko Paradise and Paradise Leaves

Ink: SU! Summer Sun, Island Indigo and VersaMark

Card Stock: SU! Whisper White & Tip Top Taupe

Accessories: Detail White Embossing Powder

June Release Design Team Blog Hop Giveaway Winner!

Hey!

Happy Weekend to you all, I hope you are all having a good one so far. I've been at The Paperlane this morning running my little class with a lovely group of ladies. I will be sharing some of the cards we made over the coming days. 

It's been a warm but rainy day here for us in the NE of the UK. Though the beans managed to play outside for an hour or so before the heavens opened this afternoon. They were not very happy at all when we had to come in!

Anyway, I'm here today to announce the WINNER of the June Release Design Team Blog Hop. Random.org helped me choose the winner who left this lovely comment on Lindsey's blog. 

The WINNER is...

Congratulations Mrs A! Please send an email to bev@uniko.co.uk along with your postal address by the 23rd July 2016 and I will get your winnings on their way to you.

Thank you to everyone who left comments and hopped along with us. We will be having our usual Revisited Blog Hop next week on the 11th July 9am BST with our usual GIVEAWAY too! 

Before I go, how about a little card inspiration...

This is one of the cards we made during the class today. I was getting the ladies to have a go with stencilling and ink blending - good inky fun! 

The diagonal stripe background was created using the SU! Stripe stencil and Peacock Feather distress ink. The outline hibiscus from the Paradise clear stamp set was stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed in detail white EP onto some card which had been ink blended with Mustard Seed, Picked Raspberry and Spiced Marmalade. 

After fussy cutting the hibiscus out they are adhered to the card using DST and the middle flower raised with foam adhesive. I have also added a good smothering of Wink Of Stella to the flowers! The sentiment is from the set and a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins are added for embellishment.

Ok, that's all from me today, I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Until then, thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Saturday!
