Let There Be Spring

Good Morning Bloggers! 

It's Amy and it's time for my DT Project for this month's challenge: CAS (Clean and Simple)

I chose the daffoldil image by LEJ Designs

I tried to get creative with this card but still keeping within the CAS style.

 I do like to embellish and give lots of detail so sometimes it's hard for me to do CAS cards. 

This is as CAS as I get. lol

Here's my card creation...

I doubled the image and popped up one to give it some demension.

You can see more details about my project at my blog all things beautiful

We would love to have you take on the challenge and show us your crafty creation! 

The challenge runs until to the end of March so hurry, hurry because thaqt's tomorrow! 

Bye for now...Amy A.

A Host Of Golden Daffodils

'A host of golden daffodils' by Neil Burley

Well, ok, five is probably not a multitude, but Wordsworth wasn't terribly specific!
I was provided with the fabulous Daffodil 2 image from LEJ Designs to work with this month.
 I imported the source image into my graphics program and did a bit of mirroring and scaling to create this bunch from the original single flower.

I laser printed onto my favourite coated card from Rymans before colouring with ProMarkers:
Petals: Yellow / Canary / Sunflower / Gold
Stems: Marsh Green / Forest Green / Pine / Leaf Green
Outline: Powder Blue

I mounted on some Bazzill card stock, using the really useful Stix2 Layer Perfect to help square everything up, used a sentiment from the Craftwork Cards Friend Sentiments die cut sheet with a piece of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Crinkle Ribbon underneath using the Yellow and Sunflower ProMarkers to colour it to match. So that I could have a large white space for my CAS style, I used a 6x6" card to mount everything on.

March CAS Challenge - Angelie

Hi there

Hope everyone is enjoying this month's CAS challenge. I have to admit whilst I like fuss free cards, I find the idea of lots of white space scary! This is my DT card using the lovely seahorse image. More details are available on my blog

Still a few days left to enter this month's challenge as we'd love to see your designs

Thanks
Angelie

March Challenge - CAS

Hi Everyone

Mags here to share a little more CAS inspiration for our monthly challenge.  Our great sponsor this month is LEJ Designs and I used a lovely little tulips image for my project.

I printed the image onto white card and used distress ink to colour.  I added a small amount of glamour dust to the tulips for added sparkle. I do struggle with CAS cards but quite pleased with how this turned out. For more details please pop by my blog. 

I hope this has inspired you to have a go.  Look out for more inspiration from the design team througout the month.

Bye for now

March Challenge - CAS - Samantha K

Hey Everyone :) I hope you are all OK?

Its that time of the month, where I can hopefully offer up a little bit of inspiration for our March Challenge. Our wonderful sponsors this month, are LEJ Designs  

We were given a few fab images to pick from and I used the image 'Sea Horse'

I added some seaweed and bubbles, which were painted with perfect pearls so they were nice and shimmery and made a cute little sea horse charm - If you would like to find more details on my card or for more piccies, please pop over to my blog.

I hope you will be inspired to enter our CAS Challenge and don't forget to check back later in the month for more DT inspiration

Happy Crafting,

Hugs

March Challenge

Hi all

My turn to show you my entry for the March Challenge. The brief was to make a clean and simple card using one of the lovely images from LEJ Designs. Now I struggle to do CAS cards, I am always so tempted to add bows, bling etc and my cards always have patterned papers on them, so I hope you like what I came up with.

The full instructions are on my blog http://louslittlecraftworld.blogspot.co.uk/.

I do hope you'll play along with our challenge and I look forward to seeing your creations.
