CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge #209

It's so exciting to be able to share with you that I was selected to be a Guest Designer for the month of February with the CAS Colours & Sketches Challenge.  I love challenges and to be asked to design for them for a month is such an honor.  This week it's a color challenge with some of my favorite colors.

The flowers were cut using the Tattered Florals Die by Tim Holtz.  I used Cherry Cobbler, Rose Red and Sweet Sugarplum for the flowers.  The branches were cut from Smoky Slate using the Leafy Branch Die also by Tim Holtz.  I attached them to the Whisper White mat layer using Tombow Multipurpose Glue.  The white buttons each have a piece of Linen Thread threaded through them then, they were attached to the center of the flowers using Glue Dots.  The blossoms were attached using Stampin' Dimensionals.  The sentiment is from the Jar of Love stamp set and stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  To the layer I also added three Sweet Sugarplum Fancy Frost Sequins.  For the finishing touch I sprayed the card with Radiant Rain Shimmering ICE Mist by Splash of Color.  The mat layer was attached to a Whisper White Thick card base using Stampin' Dimensionals.


The Shimmering Mist doesn't show up well in the photo so here is a close up to give you an idea of what it looks like.  If you click on the image below, it will open it up so you can get a better view of how pretty and shimmery the flowers look.

    1. Thanks, Karen! I'm honored to be a guest designer this month. Green wasn't one of the colors so I had to scramble to figure out what would look good for the leaves. :-)
