I’ve been meaning to use the May image from the Perpetual Birthday Calendar set this month since I have a bit of a streak going. And then the CAS Colour and Sketches showed up with the double challenge. Normally colour challenges and sketch challenges alternate but since there were five Thursdays in April, this week it’s a sketch AND colour challenge. I thought I’d give it a go despite my usual reluctance to try sketch challenges.

The challenge banner is:

I took the May image from the set and coloured the various flowers using my Stampin’ Write markers in calypso coral, wisteria wonder and island indigo. After breathing on the stamp to re-moisten it, I stamped it onto my whisper white cardstock and then repeated it another four times across the diagonal. I then found that I had one little island indigo star sticking out too far so added another on the other side to balance it. As Staples says, that was easy! The sentiment is from Sheltering Tree and is stamped in Island indigo. I mounted this piece onto a layer of island indigo to give a skinny mat and then put this onto a wisteria wonder card base. I really love the wisteria wonder but I don’t use it as much as I thought – I’ll have to work on that!

See you tomorrow,
