Crafting for all Seasons #98 "Pastel Hues"

Good morning all.

After waiting two weeks for an engineer to come out to fix the fridge freezer, why is it they turn up have a look, tell you what you already know, take down the serial number you've already provided and say they'll be back in a few days when they get the parts!!! Grrrrr!

It's time for a new challenge at CFAS and this time the theme is "Pastel Hues". We're looking forward to seeing all your makes. We're being sponsored by Art by Miran who gave the DT images to work with.


I've opted not to use a sponsor image this time. My simple one layer card uses a cute stamp and sentiment from Penny Black coloured with promarkers then masked before I sponged DI through a Memory Box stencil. Base card has been embossed with a stitched rectangle die from Spellbinders.

Fabulous Sponsor 2015

Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration from the other girls, you won't be disappointed.

Challenges entered:
Less is More - one layer with an animal
STAMPlorations - stamps and stencils
AAA cards - bare naked CAS
Happy Stampers - sponging

  1. Love this cute image and your CAS card Carol, a great job with the masking technique, it looks fab.
    Hope you get your fridge freezer up and running soon, it must be very frustrating - the wheels turn very slowly in most companies now and everything seems to take so long, I thought technology was supposed to make things quicker?
