Hope I make the deadline


My first CAS Colours and Sketchers submission.

Actually my first ever try at anything along these lines.


Not quite sure if it qualifies but here goes....

Stamp set used is an old personal impressions that I've had in the show stock for quite a while, Butterfly Flowers designed by Lindsay Mason, code number PICSA6088.  The Winston Churchill quote stamp is a retired Stampin Up set, Occasional Quotes.

I was looking and thinking about 3 while I was doing this, so three types of stamps, floral, swirly and sentiment, used three Stampin up ink pads, Daffodil Delight, Smokey Slate and Bermuda Bay.

The scrolly swirls are stamped in Bermuda Bay six times around the edge of the card blank, three different sizes of the flower are stamped three times each and applied with a spot of glue except for the final little flower on the top left which is on a 1mm foam square.  These are all stamped using the Daffodil Delights ink pad.

Sentiment is stamped in Sokey Slate onto the card blank, (I think the typo is a Freudian slip, I need a drink!.)

There is a lot of white space in those sketchy stamps, hope its not too busy.
