Needle and Thread – CAS Colours & Sketches #304 Challenge

Today I am playing along with the CAS Colours and Sketches #304 challenge which this week is a colour challenge.

Making the card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅛” by 3 ¼”. I inked up the double leaf stamp in Crumb Cake ink and stamped it into the lower right corner of the Whisper White panel. I added the larger flower in Real Red ink and stamped a trio of the small flowers in the Balmy Blue ink around the main image. I love the hand embroidered effect these stamps give, they have so much dimension.

Finally I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink. I added the Whisper White layer to a panel of Real Red measuring 5⅜” by 2½” and adhered the whole piece to a Balmy Blue card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Like many people I find clean and simple cards with minimal layering and embellishments so this challenge really pushed me out of my comfort zone. I hope you like it.
