​The Cas Colour & Sketch challenge was to use the colours opposite. I already had the stencil sponged in Pear Pizzazz from a previous project as well as the Daffodil Delight panel behind the leaves so it was quite easy to put together

​The Fusion image left is the challenge for this week and I have gone with the sketch and also used brickwork which is hinted at behind the desk in the photo.

This card is for the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge #356, the Splitcoaststampers Teapot Challenge and Ways to Use it challenge and last months Technique challenge, Alcohol Marker Marbling...I really wanted to try this technique and it was perfect for this card.
The colours below are this weeks colours for CASC&S #356

​Before I tell you what I did I'll tell you what I shouldn't have done.
We are experiencing some wonderful rain, lots of it and while the temperature has doped to the high 20s the humidity is sitting between 80 and 90 most days so very sticky. I have discovered that when heat embossing you really need to turn your ceiling fan down or off. I think I may have ingested some of it, hope it isn't poisonous.
Second blunder - while putting the sequins on I dropped one that was already glued up and got glue everywhere, in an effort to remove the glue I marked the gloss paper, consequently the strange configuration of sequins is hiding a blunder.
OK so what else did I do...I did the alcohol background first and using the topper under a zip lock bag is brilliant, I didn't want to cover the whole of the topper and this gave me perfect control.
You can find the details of the technique here; https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/r...arkermarbling/
I matched the copic markers up with the colours and then for the two greetings I used the Stampin Up markers and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
I cut out the Paris die from glitter paper and stuck it on and then lastly added the sequins..sort of wishing I hadn't decided to do that but you win some and then you don't lol
Last but not least I popped some Platinum Pearls Liquid Pearls into the centre of each sequin.
Thanks for looking and have a great week crafting.
Cheers Marg

This is the inside of the card and is the way I finish most of my cards.
​I had done a practice run of the Alcohol Marker technique so was able to cut a strip to create a border.
There are more product details that I used to make this card over in my splitcoaststampers gallery found here;

This card is for two challenges for this week, the CAS Colour & Sketch challenge shown here; http://cascoloursandsketches.blogspot.com/2020/01/challenge-355-sketch.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CasColoursSketches+%28CAS+Colours+%26amp%3B+Sketches%29 and the Teapot Tuesday Challenge over on Splitcoaststampers.
I often want to submit a card for the CC&S challenges but often miss out because it closes before I have uploaded to my blog, ho hum.
​I am determined to get it in this time just because it was such an effort but I loved the journey.
The Teapot challenge on Splitcoaststampers found here; https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/teapot-tuesdays-f260/mmtpt601-~-january-28-2020-~-do-de-rubber-duck-t632129.html was so much fun and a little daunting.
The rubber ducks and the diving duck were all hand drawn. I already had the background and it was the sketch that got the creative juices flowing. Hope you like it. There is a lot more detail of what I did and what I used over in my splitcoast gallery found here;  https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2967767?&cat=500&ppuser=198941

Today I had our Stampin' Up group with our very own and super creative Katie Kaup over for card making and lunch.
Katie designed four cards for us to create out of the two newest catalogues including the Sale-A-Brations catalogue. 
I'm totally in love with the little Lady Beatles.
​I now have some lovely birthday cards to go into my stash

This card was for this weeks CAS challenge over at Splitcoaststampers found here; https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/clean-simple-cards-f239/cas570-go-gold-1-26-20-a-t632159.html where we were asked to do a card featuring gold as the focal.
I used foiling paste and gold foil for the boarder and heat embossing in gold for the rest. Very simple but quite effective. There are more details over in my Splitcoaststampers gallery found here;​https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=198941
