Way to Go Champ! using Skating By #JAI275 #CAS70School

Here's a fun card that was quick and easy to create. This is my first time inking up this cute little guy from Skating By.  Its a gorgeous set with lots of fun accessories like a guitar, skateboard and Ipod, I look forward to making lots of cool cards with this set.

I've coloured this little guy with my Stampin' Write markers - its quick and easy to do!
The Cup I stamped on Daffodil Delight cardstock and then added some shading with my Crushed Curry marker.

I've paired this card with some cute DSP 'Schoolhouse' which coordinates perfectly with the Addicted to CAS challenge 70 this week - codeword 'School' and the layout is inspired by the cool designers over at Just Add Ink #275.

  Here are the card measurements so you too can create this card:

• Standard Australian C6 card base in Whisper White Thick Cardstock (half A4 sheet)
• Daffodil Delight Frame - 3-3/4" x 5-1/2"
• Garden Green DSP (Schoolhouse DSP)  - 3-5/8" x 5-3/8"
• White Circle - 2-1/2" punch 

Here are the colours I've used today - please pin it, share it, create with it!

Congratulations & Floating Technique #CAS69banners

This week one of our Crazy Crafters, Nicole won the SU Incentive Trip to the Mediterranean!! How awesome it that! I will be sending her this card to say Congratulations. I chose my colours based on the beautiful blue waters of the Med, which I have swam in, so I know all the achievers will have a fab time there. The banners fit perfectly with this ocean theme too as the trip is set on a cruise ship. I just can't get enough of the Expressions Natural Elements (laser cut sentiments) - I do hope we'll be seeing more of these.

Todays card is inspired by the lovely designers over at Addicted to CAS.
Here is the inspirational CAS Sketch

The 'Floating' Technique
I hope you can see it from my photos - it looks like the banners are floating.
I cut a 7/8" wide piece out of the whisper white panel {you can cut this out anywhere on the panel} and then I raised them on dimensionals. When you add dimensionals to the banners they give the impression they are floating - again its all part of the Mediterraneaness of this card!

The watercolouring under the sentiment is actually stamped from the Perpetual Birthday Set.
Finish it all off with a lovely DSP to match the theme - 'Schoolhouse DSP pack

    Here are the card measurements so you too can create this card:

• Square Card Base in Crumb Cake Cardstock - 4-3/4" x 9-1/2", scored at 4-3/4"
• Pacific Point Frame - 4-1/4" x 4-1/4"
• Whisper White Panel -  4" x 4"
• Cut out a 7/8" wide piece from the Whisper White panel to add your banners.

I've added this colour swatch that features the colours on my card. Please feel free to pin it to your pinterest boards!
