Hello crafting friends!
How nice of the sun to go in mid-afternoon so that I could down tools in the garden and waft about in the Craft Square Metre for a bit! Come and see what I've been up to:
This simple little note card features splashes of blended pink and blue inks for that magical unicorn look! I used the Splatters stencil from Funky Fossil and Blushing Bride and Pool Party inks from Stampin' Up.
The label was stamped with a useful little sentiment from Simply Said by Clearly Besotted, then layered onto yellow card stock with dimensionals. I scored the edges of the panel before attaching it to the card front and added a sprinkling of stars cut using Stampin' Up's Twinkle punch.
EDITED TO ADD AN AWARD
So happy that this card was chosen as a favourite at Color Throwdown!
CHALLENGES
I've been quite literal with my interpretation of CAS(E) This Sketch's sketch this week, so I think it's pretty easy to recognise. The colours are from this week's Color Throwdown challenge and I'm also joining in with Just Add Ink where they're asking us to Just Add Thinking of You.
AND IN OTHER NEWS
While I was in the garden I could hear enthusiastic noises coming from the kitchen. It was my youngest son - all his essays have been completed and handed in and he's indulging his inner chef. He can't simply cook a dish though...
... he is a young man who eats with his eyes too!

Send your son to my house--haha! Such a fun card!
ReplyDeleteLol, he makes a lot of mess! Still want him?!
DeleteThis is awesome....and what a cool idea, a splatter STENCIL! I wish SU would come up with some good stencils! I'll have to look for that!
ReplyDeleteI know, a splatter stencil - isn't it fabulous?! Aren't there any stencils in the new catalogue? Stencilling is all the rage at the moment isn't it!
DeleteAnother brilliant CAS card with super colours.

Thanks Kath. Yes, I was drawn to those colours too x
DeleteThat splatter stencil is cool and I love how you used the CTD colours - they stumped me this week so I gave up on them.
ReplyDeleteWhat is in that yummy looking wrap??
It is a cool stencil isn't it - they do all sorts of fabulous ones.

I think you'd have to be pretty peckish to attack the card with a knife and fork however! xxx

ReplyDeleteHugs Diane
Haha, quite literally a splash of colour Diane! He definitely has an eye :)
DeleteSimple and amazing Vicky, love this card and the "splash". Food! can he come cook for us? Looks yummy and I laughed at his label.
