Plentiful Plants for CCS505

 I had a little time on (yet another) rainy afternoon, so played along with the sketch at CAS Colours and Sketches. I was amazed to see they're at challenge 505 - its seems only yesterday when I played along in their 100th challenge!


I was feeling some nostalgia for my favourite older sets so got out Plentiful Plants for this one.

I kept things very clean by partially embossing the Basic White layer with the Gingham embossing folder.


The sentiment is from Inspired Thoughts. After stamping, die-cutting and arranging my potplant, I decided it looked a bit lost on the background so added in a sliver of Cajun Craze to act as a table to ground it. The shape of it also echoes and balances the sentiment.


Finally, I added in three copper Brushed Metallic dots.

  4. Fabulous Jan - the partial embossing is so effective and I love the pop of colour from the Cajun Craze ledge and border too. Thanks for playing along with our current sketch challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches!
