CAS Geometric + Flower

Hi there all.  Here we are at the end of another week and very nearly the end of another month.  Where does the time go.  Talking about time I saw this sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch and decided I would use it to make a card but by the time I finished it I realised that I had just missed it.  I was away on holiday all last week and when I came back I had several cards to make so have been busy doing that and have not had time to post anything until now.  As you can probably guess I am not the most organised of people ..lol.  Anyway here is the sketch.

....  and here is my card.

                                                                                                                                                      
I used a That Special Touch Mask - Chevrons which I embossed using a snippet of white card and then coloured using Stonewashed and Pink Sherbert Adirondack inks and some Shaded Lilac Distress Ink which I applied with blending foam.  I die cut the piece with a stitched square die and then cut the circular shape using a stitched circle die.

I placed the shape in the centre of my square base card but didn't stick it down so I could judge where to stamp the little flower stamp.  This is a Claritystamp Stamp Club stamp which I hadn't used before and decided that being quite small it would fit nicely in the circle.  I hovered with the stamp which I inked up with  the Stormy Sky DI and then moved the chevron embossed snippet to one side whilst I stamped the flower.  I coloured it using the blue ink but decided to add a bit more depth with my Spectrum Noir pencils to give a more pinky blue colour.  I also added a little more blue and pink ink through and around the flower to highlight it a bit more.

I then adhered the shape into place and made a fishtail banner for the sentiment from a snippet of white card which I stamped using Stormy Sky DI and glued it in place on the topper.

Thank you for dropping by and I really appreciate your continued interest in my blog.  Have a good weekend.
