Well this doesn't happen often, but here I am again today with a second card for another challenge - getting close to the deadline so had to be done!

So it's CAS Colours & Sketches this time with a trio of Spring colours.

I'm using some washi from Funky Fossil and dies from Time For Tea Designs.

I started by inking up a scrap of card with the three colours from the chart and then die cutting the flowers and leaves using Springs Blooms from T4TD. I added a strip of Monochrome washi to the bottom and then adhered the flower cluster on top.

I finished off with a stamped and die cut thanks and matted it all on to a white card base.

I loved the simplicity of this sketch and the option to use any shapes instead of the triangles.
