CC554 Maura is our hostess and she chose crumb cake, baja breeze and mossy meadow for her color trio. Dessert is to use designer paper.
HYCCT1526 - KelliJo is the hostess and she wants us to make a card with a spunky little fairy on it.
So my card started with the colors and the image. I just needed my layout and I decided to use this week's MOJO421 sketch. It's a tall and skinny card - 3 ½ x 5 ½.
My fairy image is a stamp from Great Impressions - "fairy silhouette". I stamped with crumb cake ink and cut with a Spellbinders circle die. Before taking it out of the die I sponged with baja breeze and mossy meadow inks.
My dsp is from the Stampin'-Up "ski slope" collection. I thought it looked like the wishes flying. I stamped my sentiment also from Great Impressions - "wishes have wings" in mossy meadow ink and added a few die cut sequins.
To complete my card and this sketch I used some crumb cake ribbon and mossy meadow twine.

Two gorgeous CAS cards in a row. I'm rightfully impressed, Ms. Mary. This is just as sweet as your thank you card. Great design and elegant simplicity. Love your image and coloring, too.

Mary, this card could not be more perfect for both challenges! The colors are lovely--and I love how you sponged in the die to leave a white border--and the HYCCT challenge--well, you nailed that one, too! Such a sweet card!

Love your fairy image in this one, Mary! I also like how you sponged inside the die, so you would have that white border on your fairy circle. Love that look!
