August Double

There are 5 Thursdays in August and so, over at CAS Colours and Sketches we're doing 'the double' That means that we have a sketch and a colour challenge combined. Have a look


So, you must follow the sketch and use the three suggested colours (don't worry if you don't have the exact Stampin' Up colours) Here's my interpretation-



I die cut circles out of white cs, and embossed with my Mosaic folder. Then I cut slightly smaller circles out of the dark blue  and layered them together.  My final layer I stamped and heat embossed the pattern using Mosaic Madness and hghlighted the centres with a white gel pen.  Can't really see the large circle, I hear you say..

Ta-da


It's a fold out flap with the sentient stamped on the inside.  The bird is of course an old favourite - the two step bird punch, stamped from the same set as the sentiment - The Language of Friendship.
This is the last post from me for a couple of weeks, I am going to take a short break from designing at the beginning of September, but I do intend to comment, so I'm looking forward to seeing your 'double' cards.

  2. The way you created the flap for the sentiment adds a fun touch to your card. I like how you've carried the mosaic theme throughout your card, too.
