Card 5 of 7:
This card is a CASE of the layout from Jax’s autumn card.
A one layer card – woo hoo!
Thanks for taking a peek!
There is a new challenge at One Layer Simplicity – summer color inspiration. I used the #5 scheme:
I also used an old sketch from Case This Sketch (#79).
The “birthday” that comes with the Wet Paint set just does NOT work with the “happy” (the spacing is all wrong to fit the way I would want). I was able to find a suitable replacement in another set…and this makes me happy!
I wanted the sentiment to stand out by being the one furthest to the left. Of course, happy is only 5 letters…so I needed a bit of filler on the right – hence the bit of sketched pennant.
To get the right side straight, I just masked off a 1/4 inch of the card base.

A week or so ago my mom had to put one of her cats to sleep. I couldn’t be there to hug her myself, so I sent her a card.
Thanks for taking a peek.
It is time for another CAS Colours & Sketches challenge. Check out the latest challenge: #69 – sketch.
And here is my take:
I decided to make my card a window card. And, score, this is a one layer card!
To make the windows, I used a square die from the Make a Wish die set.
Here is the inside:
I like this because I have a hard time writing on such a wide canvas, now it feels more comfy.

A Little About the Challenge: Posted every Thursday, the challenges alternate between color and sketch (if there is a 5th week in the month you get the double dose of color & sketch).
It is time for another CAS Colours & Sketches challenge. Check out the latest challenge: #68 – colors.
And here is my take:
With pink and green, I knew I was going to stamp flowers! Since the pink is a pale pink and the brown a dark brown, I knew the brown would take the focus, so I decided to use a large sentiment as the focal point.
I used two sizes of flowers. The larger ones are stamped twice to get a darker color pink.
This is a one-layer card – yay me! I love it when a challenge-for-me-style comes easy!

And here is my take:
I needed a new house card, so when it was time to stamp for the challenge, that is the theme I used.
My repeating house image also goes along with the current One-Layer Simplicity Challenge.
For the sentiment, I wanted just “congrats” because it fit under the pink house. The actual stamp in the set says congratulations. I used a bit of tape to help mask off the un-needed letters.

It is time for another CAS Colours & Sketches challenge. Check out the latest challenge: #60 – colors.
And here is my take:
Love these colors! Though, I am finding that I always gravitate to something map/globe like with them. I guess I better try harder next time! Anyway, this card will be sent to my in-laws. We haven’t been home in a couple years and it has been awhile since we’ve seen them.
I colored Colorado blue because we are the ones doing the missing (and are ‘blue’). That left the green for Virginia. What a pain to cut out VA! Though, cutting out Delaware or Rhode Island would be worse!
Speaking of Rhode Island – has anyone else noticed that it is missing from this stamp image? Yep, it is…you can go look, I’ll wait. I’m not sure what happened, but I suppose it was just too small to add (though they managed Delaware).

My sister had to put her cat down last week (he had cancer). This is the card I made to send to her.

Oh boy was this card trying! It all started with a Pin.
I used about 12 quarter sheets of scrap paper designing this card. I even had to preform stamp surgery! And I still managed to ruin 2 cards! But I did get 4 of these one-layer cards done without problems. Whew!
I love that inspiration photo (I pinned it from someone else – but now that I go look at the original I see that card is 5 x 7…no wonder I couldn’t get 5 wreaths on my A2!!).
My card has two different-sized wreaths on it – that is where the stamp surgery comes in. I trimmed out a small section and was able to bend the stamp a bit more to make a smaller complete circle.
Thanks for taking a peek!
I recently pinned a cute little doodle artwork that inspired this card.
In addition, I used Addicted to CAS’s anniversary challenge as well as CAS on Sunday’s one-layer challenge.
Since this was more of a playful card, I didn’t bother drawing a grid. I did line up my card so the center was over the darker lines on my grid paper. That helped with eye-balling the placements.
