Layers of Beauty for CAS Colours & Sketches 552

 In keeping with my New Year crafting resolution to play more challenges for fun, I'm joining in with an old favourite challenge of mine, CAS Colours & Sketches. This time round, it's a sketch.



I'd been playing around with the Layers of Beauty bundle for something else and it seemed a perfect choice for this sketch. The bundle is a special one because in addition to stamps and dies (the usual bundle) this one includes five layering stencils that can be used to colour the images. 

This card is very straightforward. I stamped part of the large roses image in one corner with Tuxedo Black ink and added the sentiment. 


Using blending brushes, I coloured the flowers in Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Peach Pie. The leaves are two layers of Granny Apple Green.

The thing that took the longest time was deciding whether to add embellishments or not! After lots of vacillation I went with some of the green sequins from the Shiny Sequins pack.

Update: Delighted to be a Fabulous Favourite at CAS Colours and Sketches this week.

  4. This is just stunning - even using just a small portion of the stencil fills the corner perfectly. This is the card I wish I'd made for this challenge!!
