Summer colouring for Virginia's Challenge

I saw that Virginia has started a Summer Colour challenge over at Virginia's View  and the card I made today fits the bill.   

I took a page from my colouring in book, that I had coloured with Faber-Castell pencils and photo-reduced it.  I trimmed it and matted it onto some blue card.   I added a sentiment from Altenew's Label Love.   I really loved the page I had done and was really pleased with how this turned out.  There are several other pages in the book that will work as well. 

Hope you are all having a great weekend and getting some crafting done.

Another tag for Virginia's View

I did a big tidy up of the craft room yesterday and came across the a discarded die cut.  The die didn't cut cleanly and a portion tore as it came out.  I decided to turn it into a tag for the challenge at Virginia's View.  A very CAS tag.

I used some chipboard from a tissue box to cut some leaves which I used to cover the torn bits.  The roses were made with some blue vellum and I finished with a Spellbinders word die cut from some black scraps. 

Getting a bit excited about my trip to Perth.  The bag is nearly packed, the shuttle is booked and the money is exchanged.   Just two more sleeps and I'm on my way. 

Yes Virginia..... I'm Inspired.....

Over on Virginia's blog she shared some wonderful photo's her daughter took of son and his friends with their bright coloured Cello cases.  She then challenged us to create with this inspiration photo.

 

 Isn't it wonderful.  Here's what I created.

I made the xylophone with bright coloured pieces of card.  I used some black enamel accents for the screws.  The scallops were made with punched circles stamped with some music ( a stamp by Kiwi Stamping)   The ledger background is a Hero Arts cling stamp and the sentiment is part of a stamp from a Hero Arts set.  I just inked up the word "Celebrate"   Back to my usual CAS style!
Also for Simon Says Stamp ~ Anything Goes~ challenge

I'm off to the beach tomorrow for 4 days R & R.  I am hoping to take some stamps and papers with me ~ even if I just get some colouring done.   

Take care
