This weeks challenges were both to use certain sets of colours and I must admit, I found it a challenge!
For both I chose to play with the Thoughtful Branches set.
This was the challenge set by CAS Colours and Sketches:
I cut out trees in ‘sweet sugarplum’ and ‘chocolate chip’, and then swapped the frames and trees:
They look quite different don’t they? Which do you prefer? I used the blossom stamp all over the third card front to create a pattern:

For the Global Design Project #GDP049 I carried on pattern making to produce 2 quite different cards. I love that it’s hard to tell what the stamps are ‘meant’ to be!
These are the colours they set:
And here are my cards:
Here are other people’s designs
If you want to make some cards like this, why not join me for a class?
Remember that the thoughtful branches bundle is only available until the end of August, so order now to avoid disappointment!

Wow what beautiful cards and I love the way you have used the stamps as backgrounds rather than just as petals or leaves. I am inspired 😃

Wonderful card. Love the way the negative space from the tree die seems to imply leaves. Thanks for playing along with us at CC&S!
