Phew... I'm quite glad for a Monday without too much heat because it's been a hectic weekend!! The house is quiet and empty and I'm nursing a bit of a headache which makes a change from hayfever at the moment!!
I have a two cards for a couple of colour challenges out there in Blogland as well as
CASology's 100th challenge... well done ladies on the centenary :0)
I've used a 'new to me' set by
Neat & Tangled... I love the 'hand-drawn' images and sentiments which remind me of illustrations in old childrens books so I tried to capture that style with the colours at
Colour Me... this week. The cream paper is actually a blank page from an old paperback to give it more authenticity!!
This card uses the balloons from the same stamp set and some masking... love the colours at
ColourQ this week and they worked well for balloons so I thought I'd make it a celebration card for
CASology too :0)
Right I'm off to chase this headache away before it takes hold for the day.... thanks for stopping by :0)

I so want that N&T set! Love how you've used it on both of these cards. That first one totally feels like a children's book illustration and the masking around the sentiment on the second card really lets it pop! (Pun totally intended!) Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteHope the headache clears up soon!
