The Little Things ....

...   Hello!!  This morning I've a one layer card to share with you, made using the monochromatic colours from this week's CAS - Colours & Sketches - CASC&S#118 and the layout from CAS(E) this Sketch - CTS#117.  I actually made another card using these two challenges, but it's a DT card and won't go up until after both challenges close.  Green is my favourite colour, so I had to play along:

Stamps: Stampin' Up! - Work of Art; Penny Black - Dandee, Heartfelt
Inks: Versafine - Onyx Black; SU - Glorious Green, Green Galore, Gumball Green, Certainly Celery, Gable Green, Lucky Limeade
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Lucky Limeade; Stickles


I used one of the smaller paint swatch stamps from the Work of Art set and stamped it in shades of green.  I only realised after I finished stamping that all the greens I used are in fact discontinued colours - I got several of them second hand.  Told you I like green :)  I stamped the big dandelion image in bold black, added a sentiment and finished by applying Stickles to the flower head.  On the inside I cut a mat of lime card (so glad I bought extra card) and on the white panel I added a few seeds floating along the bottom.

I've taken a close-up photo of the flower head showing all the lovely sparkle from the Stickles glue - it's a much bolder look than using Wink of Stella.

That's it for now!  Take care.

    Love all your swooshes of green for the background and that dandelion head looks amazing sparkled up with stickles. Thanks for playing at CC&S.

    What a creative way to combine both challenges! That dandelion stamp is really cool. I like how you've carried out the theme on the inside of the card, too. Thanks for sharing your card with us at CC&S!
