Wanted to send some "Happy Thoughts" to my daughter. Some days college assignments just seem to weigh a person down so I'd thought I'd send a cheery hello. The CAS colours this week seemed perfect.
Since the only cardstock from this colour combo that I have in my stash is Daffodil Delight, I dug out my re-inkers for Poppy, Peach and Daffodil and tried the baby wipe technique. As I am known to do, I changed directions part way through and wound up punching (surprise, surprise) flowers out of the papers I inked up. (I have lots of other items I inked up with this combo that will wind up on future cards...)
Stamped the vine from the retired SU set "Just Vine" on some white cardstock, glued on the punched flowers, sent the works through my C'bug using the Square Lattice folder by SU. Love this technique!!
Added a sentiment and some Stickles and off it goes to bring some sunshine and smiles to my girl on a wintry day.
I had to add the black layer - I know it wasn't listed in the colours allowed for the CAS105 challenge, but if that gets me tossed from the party, oops. But it didn't look right without it...
PT: 4 punches were dusted off in the creation of this card!

I like that technique, too. Have to give it a try. Your card is lovely and sure to cheer your daughter. I agree, the black really added some punch!

Diz, I LOVE that technique. I did one in Stamp Club, but haven't done my own card in it yet. I really love it. Your daughter is sure to agree. Hey, I'm surprised you didn't comment on my cards with the array of hearts in the photo shoot and call me heartless. You're falling down on the job my fellow Bluez Band Pal.
