A quick CAS challenge make

I was asked by a friend if I would like to take part in a CAS challenge, blog challenges are not usually my thing, but as I had nothing on my craft desk, I decided to make a quick card.

The idea of this specific challenge, was that you had to follow a photo as close as possible, but still retain your own spin on it.  The photo was of a dandelion clock in the shape of a heart with a blue background.

I die cut some dandelions in a silver glittery paper and then heat embossed the sentiment.  I added touches of liquid pearls and added a sequin with a clear bead on top for the middle of the dandelion

I took a little video clip of the card and the way it sparkles (the quality of the clip is not brilliant when viewed on a computer, but on the phone it doesn't look too bad).

AAA Cards CAS Challenge - Inchie Weekend Workout

AAA Cards CAS Challenge Facebook Group are holding a "February Inchie Weekend Workout".  The idea is that you are challenged to create a 1" square decorated tile in the middle of a white background (the white area is totally plain, no embossing or embellishments).

I used the Lavinia Stamps tiny hare called "Pipin" for the central image, stamped in Versafine Clair "Pinecone" brown ink.

I used "Tumbled Glass" and "Twisted Citron" Distress Oxide Inks for the background.  Using Arteza Inkonic fineline pens for the grass and flowers.

I then used a Spellbinders square 1" die to cut the image to the 1" required for this challenge and adhered the tile on to the front of a card blank.
