Now Vintage/Shabby Chic isn't in my comfort zone and as I have said before, I am very jealous of those who achieve it so effortlessly. Not sure why I opted for brown tones, except that it is easier for me to get that vintage look with these hues.

I CANNOT resist a pink and green colour combination. It is my all time favourite and again a sketch from the recent past
On the whole, I really like the new SU colours (not sure about Summer Starburst but I guess it will have its uses). The new pinks I particularly like, but the jury is still out in the Jones craftroom on the stamp pad itself. Either it takes a bit to get ink on the stamp or it's far too moist. Still, I am probably in the very small minority on this matter.

Now this sketch stumped me for a while, how to cut those rectangles. I used MFT Fishtail Flags off the end of my Bigshot and it worked a treat. Not much more to say really ....

OK for my final card for this Sunday before I put the finishing touches to our lamb roast for dinner (my favourite). I really wanted to have a crack at this colour scheme, very intriguing. Couldn't find my So Saffron inkpad but remembered this VERY old DSP. Again this sketch was from a few weeks ago but I just love the simplicity of it. Night of Navy has always been my favourite "navy" but this new one has a bit more black in it and I love it.

That's it for today. My daughter is still unwell, listless and a very sore throat, not sure if she will make it to school, though she tells me she has to be there for Maths - maybe we are getting through on that front.
Beautiful cards, Cassandra. I love the crisp, clean card you created for our Just Add Ink challenge this week. Great use of the colour combo. Thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteWow! You have been busy! A whole bunch of beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection Cassandra, love them all! The crisp clean lines and lovely sentiment panel on your Just Add Ink card are perfect, great use of the challenge colours. Thanks for joining us this week.
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy! The cards are great, but I'm especially fond of the two for the color challenges. Love the pink and green, and yellow and navy have been long time favorites.
ReplyDeleteLove all of those cards (especially the zig zag border) ... love how you used windows and a vertical sentiment for the Unscripted Sketch ... very cool.
ReplyDeleteThese are all amazing cards! Thanks for joining us at Dyanmic Duos this week, Cassandra!♥
ReplyDeleteEach one of these cards is just beautiful! Thanks for joining us at colourQ this week!
ReplyDeletePretty colouring on your flower, it goes wonderfully with all the brown hues. Thanks for playing along with us at A Blog Named Hero.
ReplyDeleteMore lovelies for today! I think the first one, with all that subtle shading, is my favorite but the second one is close with that bold color scheme and cool chevron theme.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the daughter--sorry she is under the weather. Hope you don't get it too!
Wow - you are on one fabulous creative roll! Love every single card you posted! What a clever idea to place the sentiment along the beautifully embossed panel - the brads are the perfect finishing touch! Thanks so much for sharing your talent and creativity with us this week at Unscripted Sketches :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great batch of cards - thanks for linking up at Unscripted Sketches this week!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for the #198 Unscripted Sketch challenge. Love the colors. Thanks for joining us at Unscripted Sketches.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards, Cassie, Summer Starfruit is a great color, at least I am loving the ink pad. As for the new pads, the darker colors are much too inky and the lighter ones the coverage is not as good, but all and all over the months I have had them they work better than the old ones. Only time will tell! Thanks for sharing with us at the colourQ. Try the Summer Starfruit with Midnight Muse!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful cards! Love them all! Thanks for playing at US!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards -all are lovely! I really like how you layered the newsprint paper on the first card - very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you for playing along with us at Unscripted Sketches. So good to see your talent!
Wow you have been busy! I adore the turquoise DSP in the windows. Thanks for playing with the Dynamic Duos.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous showcase of cards! Wow! Thanks for joining us this week at Dynamic Duos! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great selection of cards - you have been busy! Great way to highlight the sentiment by following it with a few rhinestones - very sweet! Thanks for playing along with Dynamic Duos this week!
ReplyDeleteCassandra, I love the peach flower and how you colored it. Breathtaking card! Congrats!
