Hello ...Happy September!
It certainly feels like it here now.
I hadn't intended to make a card today... I was getting some craft things ready to play with Stella when she comes this week, then I saw the challenge at CAS Mix Up
A great way to use up your bits and pieces and you know I love nothing better, especially those teeny tiny bits I tend to keep...
Here's my card
...Which makes e think of me of Scotland. I've stayed there a few times- It's beautiful, especially when the heather covers the landscape and the leaves on my card reflect those colours.
First I die cut 2 inchies and from there I die cut a leaf shape into both inchies. Then I stamped and embossed three leaves on a small piece of AI done on photo paper, die cut one of them and the other two were adhered under the inchies.
Then there's the stag...
He too was hiding in my bits and pieces and believe me, you will see a lot of those magnificent animals in Scotland too. You know a stag is for life not just for Christmas right?
So there we go, it's my Scottish (inchies) card...
Have a beautiful week... Hopefully I will find time to catch up with you all soon
Take care

Fantastic CAS card Ros, you wow me every time, wonderful unique design, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteYou're so creative! Not even in a million years would I come up with this CAS design, but it's so beautiful! Love the stag and how you did two inchies with a non-inchie in between. Pretty color on those leaves. We're having our warmest weather of the summer. It's gorgeous, but sometimes too warm for me.
ReplyDeleteYour Scottish inchie card is awesome, Ros! Love, love, love these colors and the stag standing so regally in the background adds a strength to the design! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Mix Up!

Brilliant Ros! You have nailed this challenge. Love your 'inchies' and how you did the leaves, as well as the stag in behind. Ros you are so creative, you wow me with every creation! It's been cooler here as well this past week. It was only 66F (19C) today, but love it. This is sweater weather for sure! Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteDelightful, I love the softness and the dimension. What a special design and perfect for that stag. Thank you so much for joining us at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic design, Ros. I love all of that luscious white and the contrast of those wonderful purple hues on the leaves. A wonderful take on the Inchie challenge! Stephanie, GD.
ReplyDeleteLove how you used your bits and pieces for your card, so creative Ros. Thanks for joining us this month at CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful Ros. I really like the purples and the way you used the inchies. Hope things are well with you my friend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAn inchie card... slowly, things pop up in my head again of what I'd like to do card-wise. Maybe some time soon I'll actually make one again! Love the colors on yours and Christmas or not, stags or moose - they are right every time of the year!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Scottish inchie card, Ros! The colors of the leaves are simply gorgeous! And all the white inchies, the stag, and the background highlight the beauty of the leaves.

I know you & Stella have had a wonderful time together! Your card is so unique & beautifully crafted, Ros! Love how you die cut the leaves in the inchies!
ReplyDeleteThis is one amazing card, Ros! I love the design of it and the pops of color on the white! Scotland is gorgeous! I did a study abroad program there almost thirty years ago and always thought I'd love to live there. Then life happened...
ReplyDeleteOMG..how did I miss this CAS inchies beauty, Rox? I Love how you used your goodies from your stash. Your die cut inlaid leaves are gorgeous along with your layout, stag and sentiment. TFS Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteQuite beautiful and very creative.
