CAS at Sweet Stampin'

 I'm jumping in with Team Wends this week as our challenge theme at Sweet Stampin'   for the next fortnight is CAS - one of my favourites.

I took advantage of an offer and treated myself a wee while ago to this stamp from Simon Says Stamp. It's the perfect size for a CAS card

The stamp in question has 3 layers and I opted for warm yellows and greens for my design.  The sentiment is also part of the stamp set and is just the right size to accompany the image.

We'd love you to join in with us and share your CAS projects.  You can check out the inspiration makes my lovely teamies have created on the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog 

Have a fabulously crafty weekend!

Choose a country at Sweet Stampin'

 There's a new challenge theme at Sweet Stampin' starting today: Choose a country. If that makes you wonder if you have anything in your stash which would work, fear not!  You can take your inspiration from the colour of the flag, a food or flower which would be associated with a particular country, a scene which suggests a landscape typical of the country you have in mind... the choice is endless.

I went with a literal interpretation

I used an old wood-mounted stamp and stamped in Versamark blank ink onto watercolour paper.  I did some very loose water colouring with distress inks to add a bit of colour and added a sentiment from a very old stamp set (Sizzix, I think).  I cut a black mat for the image and adhered the panel to an A2 cardbase.

Nothing fancy and pretty quick to do!

We hope you can join in our challenge this fortnight. Check out the Sweet Stampin' blog for full details and to see the inspiration makes my teamies have made.

Have a great weekend!
