One of my favourite challenges, even though I don't often get time to play, is CAS Colour & Sketches.
I like the alternating of sketch and colour challenges and the variety of challenges the designers offer up.
Here's my take on it, using a favourite set of mine, Sea Turtle.
I blended a strip of Balmy Blue ink with a blending brush, then stamped some bubbles on it with Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon. Then a school of Melon Mambo fish swam along.
The Blueberry Bushel small turtle and sand dollar, and the Melon Mambo starfish, were stamped and popped up on dimensionals. I added the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink from Simply Said.
It wasn't until I came to blog this card that I realised I'd jotted down the sketch very loosely and perhaps haven't given the sentiment the prominence it should have. But this card was definitely inspired by the sketch so I've shared it anyway! 😀
If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products. You can leave a message in the comments or contact me using any of the methods listed in the Contact Me tab at the top of the page.
It's clear to see how this card was inspired from the sketch Jan and I think the interpretation works perfectly (you could say the sentiment element of the sketch was represented by the fish ... ) Either way I think it's a great CAS card that really makes the most of this set. So glad you shared with us over at CAS Colours & Sketches!
