CAS-ify me: playing with new goodies

Greetings, tweets! Are you lazing on the Sunday afternoon (or morning)? It's been a glorious weekend here and we spent some lovely time outside. I wish weekends laster longer!!

I'm happy to have the crafty time started tonight, I couldn't wait to ink up some new stamps. I have neglected the CAS side of me this week, so I decided to whip up a couple of quickies, before I jump in to the usual layering and embellishing to my heart's content.

I made the first card for the Square Sketch Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. It's the only sketch out of four served by Cath, that I feel fairly comfortable with. If I'm feeling super brave, I might tackle one or two more. We'll see :)
The flower was coloured with Copics, and I used the Colorless Blender to create the texture. I just dabbed it randomly all over the coloured area.

Supplies: cardstock: Canson (greys), white; stamps: Hero Arts (Friends Are Treasures, Stencil Flower); ink: Memento (Tuxedo Black); Sprinkle: AnnaBelle Stamps: black pen; white gel pen: Signo

The sketch is shown below. I also used the colours of OCC's current challenge - Neutrals with a Pop.

And another one, this time made with FTL155 and the colours of Jay Gee's Nook challenge #11.
I used the gorgeous new release TSG stamp set - Fabulous.

Supplies: cardstock: PTI (Summer Sunrise), recycled kraft, white; stamps: There She Goes (Fabulous); ink: Memento (Rich Cocoa, Cantaloupe); sewing machine; Scor-Buddy; buttons: AnnaBelle Stamps; chipboard heart: Collections; baker's twine

I might stop by once again tonight, but don't hold my word for that :) For my American friends living on East Coast - I hope you're staying safe!
Hugs,
