A Couple of Challenges

I took some time to day to join in a couple of challenges that caught my interest.  

I started with CAS(E) this Sketch #403.  Sadly, this is the last challenge.  It's really a shame someone else can't take over this site.  It's a good one!  Starting with a sketch is always a good thing. 😀

I dug out my MFT Greenery dies, and found these pre-cut gray cuts already done!  Well, who I am to not save time and use them!  


I do love the pop of color against the neutrals.  Below is the sketch.  I got pretty close.

 

I went on to join in over at AAA Cards: CAS Game #181.  Up to 1/3, with a twist of Summer in January.

Rather then doing Summer type images, I went with a Winter type beach scene.  I love this card!  I will be honest, I had to make this twice - I got ink 'from my fingers' on the "water"!  Since there was no saving it, I just made another one.  I adhered the image to the bottom right for the 3rd.

I think this works!

Thanks challenges.  I had fun!


Thanks for stopping by~

I love both of those wonderful cards you made. The first is so spot on with the pretty dies and use of the vellum for the sentiment layer. And, the second has such a pretty background with fun colors. The sea shells are a perfect addition.

Both of these are wonderful! I saw the seashell one on either Facebook or Instagram and my jaw dropped! Very cool!

You've done a fabulous job with the sketch! But it's the rolling clouds and incredible seashells that I'm swooning over!
