Case this sketch #12

  

I am entering a new challenge blog this week; Case this sketch. My card above is based on this week's sketch. I am trying to use more colour in my cards hence the teal and hot pin,k a combination I actually saw on a billboard advertisement for a local hairdressing salon. The photo isn't the best quality thanks to these long dark nights :( 

Cardstock: SU Pool Party, pink from stash

Less is More Week 101 - Black, White and One Colour


It's been a while, (4 whole months in fact!), since I last blogged but I am back with an entry for this week's Less is More challenge which is black and white with a hint of one other colour.
This card has been CASed from a card I saw on Pinterest which I find is a fab source of inspiration. The card I CASed was a white on white design but I think the embossed lower black panel works well.
Since I last blogged back in Septemeber I have been busy with various ventures. I made some wedding stationery for a work colleagues' wedding in November, for which I received many compliements. I also started making jewellery; learning the basic techniques off the internet. I managed to teach myself how to make the very popular shamballa style bracelets which were well received amongst my family and friends.
Then, before I knew it, Christmas was upon us and I was busy making jewellery and other gifts for Christmas Fayres!
I really hope to get back into card making this year and get back into the blogging habit!
