It is time for another CAS Colours & Sketches challenge. Check out the latest challenge:
And here is my take:
With these colors my mind went immediately to winter greenery.
I have such a hard time with dies! Some dies are meant to be lined up after you stamp; others are meant to be cut first – either way I mess it up! For the the large pinecone, I fussy cut it because it wasn’t as intricate as the flowers or pine bough.
The fern just above the ribbon bow was added after the card was all put together. My artistic-eye seems to work better through the camera lens. I was gonna just leave it, but this time it felt too lopsided without. The flower die is popped-up with dimensional adhesive so it was easy to peel that off. I pulled the ribbon down as much as I could and used a piece of paper to mask everything else (I also only inked the tip of the fern). Honestly, I’m surprised it worked, lol!
I hope you join us at CAS Colours & Sketches!
Thanks for stopping by!

This is beautiful , I love all the layers.
Love this. Funny how we see things after we think we are done. Well done in for adding the extra without having to start again. I never seem to manage that!
This is stunning Karen. I love the cluster of winter foliage and the colours suit them perfectly. Well done on adding extra stamping after your card was complete, an inspiration in itself! Hugs Bev
There’s so much to love about this card – the layers of foliage, the popped-up focal panel, and that awesome satin ribbon. CAS elegant perfection!
