CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge & My Second Post Today!


Well, lovelies, this is my second post today!  I know, what am I playing at?  Well, I had some new stamp sets arrive from Australia today and I had ideas for them in my mind.  I'm talking about my Happy Little Stampers, 'Mix Mash' and 'Doodled Flowers'.  For this card I used the 'Mix Mash' set, which is a very versatile set that have endless possibilities for layering - I can't wait to play some more - but for this I wanted to use the individual stamps in a simple way, because this is for a colour challenge, the CAS Colours & Sketches #165 Challenge, which is a colour  challenge this time and the were

I had all three!  So here is the card.





First I made my own patterned panel with a lot of the stamps from the HLS 'Mix Mash' set with the required colours.  Then, I cut a wonky panel out of it and a wonky panel of Night Of Navy card-stock slightly bigger than the patterned panel (I know, it looks black in the photo, but it was Night Of Navy) and adhered the patterned piece on to it with tape runner.

Next, I mounted the focal panel on to the card front and stamped a sentiment from the same set, again, in Night Of Navy  and that was done.

I thank you for your very welcome visits and comments and want to say, have a very lovely weekend!  Hazel xx
