Perfectly Cas 15 october

It was lovely to see all your CAS entries for last month's Perfectly CAS challenge. Hopefully you'll be able to join us again for our second challenge.

 

Even though we are now in October we have still been eating some very nice strawberries from the supermarket - and British ones at that!  So that is the theme for my card.

I have this lovely strawberry stamp which was free with Craft Stamper magazine years ago. I coloured it with Promarkers and then added glossy accents to the fruit. I scored two lines above and below the fruit, but they're a bit difficult to see in the photo and added a simple sentiment embossed in white on black card.

So now let's see your cas cards using only one third of the card, and check out my teamies makes.

Strawberries for LIM

Less is More is looking for fruit this week. Last week's card would have worked for this and I did think of using the same stamp, but then I remembered I had this strawberry stamp, which was a freebie from quite a few years ago.

I decided to have a change from my usual white card blanks and used Tip Top Taupe for my base with Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush. These are three of the colours SU introduced this year and till now I hadn't even opened the packet of card or taken the cellophane of the ink pads. I coloured the strawberries with the matching markers then covered them in glossy accents. No sentiment yet as I'm not sure what I will use it for. I'm also going to the Playground as the strawberries were stamped on a small snippet of white. for the second time this week - it's beginning to get quite festive over there.
 

Arty Girlz Last Challenge

I decided to make a card for last week's Papertake Challenge which was "feeling fruity". But left it to the last minute and managed to smudge the ink and didn't like the finished result anyway so didn't post it. Today I have pulled it to pieces and cut the strawberries out and made a completely new card for Arty Girlz Challenge. Theirs was one of the first ones I ever entered and although I haven't done any for a long time it is sad to see that this will be the last. The theme is "stamping". The strawberries are stamped with versafine onyx black, coloured with Whispers pens and finished with Glossy Accents. The strip of paper is DCWV. The stamp was a freebie with Craft Stamper magazine last year.

Hopefully they will come back with more challenges in the future.
