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.

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!
