Addicted To Stamps and More #100

Today is a very special day as it is Addicted to Stamps and More's 2nd Birthday!

Thanks to our very lovely leader Kylie and all you wonderful supporters, this challenge had grown and grown over the last 2 years.

And this week we are celebrating with a fabulous photo to inspire you to create:


Looking at this photo I knew it was an umbrella but all I could really see was a colour wheel and wanted to go with this but it took me ages to come up with an idea. However CAS(E) this Sketch came to my rescue yet again! As soon as I saw their sketch inspiration finally struck and I created this for you:



I have used a sun ray stamp to create the colour wheel and covered it in glossy accents-hard to see the shine from the photo but IRL it really is glossy. This took ages to dry but once it was the rest of the card just came together really quickly.

For our Birthday we are being sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps who are offering our winner 3 images up to $10 from their store.

And as usual you can check out the inspiration from out DT HERE and then we sure hope you join in our Birthday celebration.

I am at the moment on my way to the airport for a 2 week holiday so although I have some DT cards pre-scheduled I won't be around much in blogland until I come home...all tanned and relaxed!! 

See you all then x

  7. A beautiful card! The scored lines are so well placed; it is all that was needed to drow the attention to the wheel; so clever!
    As super as you are in making CAS-cards, It would be great to see what you would do with a scene; with your eye for placing/layout I think that would turn out beautifully.... Enjoy the sun! Hugs, Gerrina
