Here is my take on the challenge:

This is a very simple card. I have stamped and colored the image and have used gold glitter paper for paper piecing of the gold bars and robbers bag. The black and white panel is a patterned paper from DCWV.

Here is another view:

Hope you like this Clean & Simple card.

Take care :)

Back to CAS - with PJ

Hello my dear friends ! Its PJ again

I am super excited to share my card with you today !

Its been a while that i went CAS and as you all may know its not a style that comes naturally to me . 

But that doesnt stop our beloved DT Jovi to challenge us to do what we are not very confortable doing ! 

He he :) 

Just remember we are looking for clean and simple cards with black and gold 

which is the trend of the season ! 

I totally love the combination . 

You may use very little of any other color,as long as it doesnt take the focus away from the Black and gold. 

So here is my CAS card (well almost CAS)

 My card is more of a Clean and layered style. Even though it has 2 layers its still got open and empty spaces with crisp lines. Thats what you can go for too. CAS can mean diffrent things to diffrenet people.
All it needs to be is as CLEAN as possible and to the point.

 I went for the chalboard effect ! Love working with this style its fantastic !
All i did was did some stamping with white pigment ink. Worked well.

I have used one of My minds eye stamp set  to do the border. 

The cycle is stamped with a Inkadinkado mini stamp set.

And the sentiment is done with Pink paislee stamp set. 

 

The gold element i added was Glitter ! I always love to dive into my Pie lane stash for those ! 

Love the pixie dust ! 

So thats about it from my side .  Hope u liked my card. 

Cant wait for you to join us in the Back to CAS challenge !

BGC#50" BACK TO CAS + COLOUR CHANGE with ANETA

Hello, followers of our challenge blog!

Today is my turn to show you my card in the newest challenge on CAS + black and gold.

I prepared my card for special occasion - my father's name-day. I know, that the tradition of the name-day isn't popular in other countries. It's strongly connected with the main religion in our country - catholicism. Name-day is celebrated mostly by the older people, young people celebrate birthday.

What's more, my card is an effect of my play with my little daughter. I cut butteflies for her to play and then I used the remains for my card. :-)

Supplies:

white cardstock
black cardstock
golden cardstock
sentiment-sticker
adhesive stones
golden marker
puncher

Now this is the card I made for the challenge

The card I have made is a 6 inch sqaure. I have used black cardstock for layering. Though I know many crafter's are comfortable using thinner paper for layering, I personally like the strength of a heavy cardstock. What do you use for layering? Do let me know....

When I started out working on this card I first had the sentiment in mind. and I decided to work around it.

Its a Just Rite stamp set having exactly the right sentiments you need for any occasion. 

Keeping in mind the addition of gold , I decided to do glitter stars... I diecut the stars using my Cuttlebug (yes I am using cuttlebug... sounds ancient ... a friend told me)... But somehow the glittery stars just did not fit in ...

So again I went searching for Gold Cardstock and got some really nice stars this time... and a matte gold... looked wow...

To add that touch of Sparkle and dimension to the card i used Black glitter foam and cut 1/4" strips and simply pasted below the sentiment. 

I love how the card looked overall and so I did make one more in a different colour combination. Will share that on my personal blog. 

I hope you all enjoy this challenge... We want you to work around the sentiment . Keep it simple and yet get the message through...

So what was my take on it?? Well, when I saw this mesmerising photo inspiration,all I could think of was colourful floral,butterflies,garden fairy...hahaa all fairy tale stuffs :D !

Better I keep mum and let you decide about my creation ;). I used the gorgeous digital printables and papers which I purchased recently from Jennifer's  Dreamz EtCetera Etsy shop (Vintage Love story)  couldn't wait to use this paper and these lot were apt to the theme.

I was inspired by the yellowish-green,pink,orange colours and ofcourse the white bells were an add-on to my creative thought !

And I ended up making a shabby chic explosion hut :) !!

 And yess I made my own dangling tassel with laces,charms,pearls and diecuts !! Ain't it stunning?

Here is my layout inspired by that gorgeous picture:

I was immediately inspired by the yellow and the white in the photo. I love any excuse to use flowers on a layout so I added them and the green followed.  My little monkey loves to pose for me and she had just plucked that yellow flower from our garden.

 Thanks for looking!
