New stamps make me happy!


 Hello, good morning and happy weekend. 
Today sees the start of a new challenge at Sweet Stampin', 
the theme for this fortnight is CAS. It came at a good time for me as I succumbed to temptation recently and bought a couple of Lavinia stamps that I've had my eye on for a while. It's a first outing for the bees and these beautiful flowers, a simple one layer card with a masked off panel of stencilling and a stamped sentiment. The bees and flowers coloured with watercolour markers. 

My lovely teamies have been busy creating some wonderful CAS cards, so please do take the time to check them out. Hope you'll be inspired to join in, just follow the theme and remember to include some stamping- digital stamps are fine! 

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the weekend.

Chris

The one-layer card design is so beautifully balanced with the masked stenciling and those charming Lavinia stamps. The bees and flowers add such a delicate and lively touch, and the use of watercolor markers brings them to life in such a graceful way. This piece is truly an inspiring example of CAS perfection.

Oh I absolutely love this. How beautiful are those bees and flowers. I hear you saying to me 'you need them' so I shall have to have a little snoop. The stencilling is absolutely perfect with them.
