Peaceful Poppies for CAS(E) This Sketch 357

The summer heat is really biting now so I've been spending time in my craft room, which is now more like a craft sauna, and the swimming pool. I managed a little more experimentation with Peaceful Poppies before being driven out to seek refuge in the cool. For inspiration, I started with the sketch at CAS(E) This Sketch.

I've done a number of bright and bold creations using these Painted Poppies and Peaceful Moments sets, collectively - Peaceful Poppies. I wondered how they'd go in a very pastel incarnation, which lead me here....

The poppies and leaves are all cut from Whisper White cardstock, lightly sponged in places with Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam.

I think that the set works as well in subtle colours just as well as with regals and brights. What do you think?

CAS(E) This Sketch 336

I've decided that sketch challenges are my favourites - well, at least, this week they are! There was a beauty at CAS(E) This Sketch so was delighted to find the time to play it.

In a happy co-incidence, it also gave me a chance to play around with some of my pre-order items from the nearly-here Holiday Catalogue. First chance at new items is one of the many advantages of becoming a demonstrator and one that I love.

Most of the things I've used are from the Christmas Gleaming suite of products: the stamp set, Christmas Gleaming; the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP with gorgeous copper accents, the Gleaming Ornament punch and the Hammered Metal embossing folder.

The sentiment is from another new, about-to-be-here set - Itty Bitty Christmas. In the close-up, you can see another new product - Celestial Copper pigment ink. Or there's Golden Glitz and Silvery Shimmer if you prefer. 😀
