The fifth week of any month is always a double challenge week! Patricia has created the color combination and the sketch for you. My card is a male get well card, so I featured the blues with just a pinch of Purely Pomegranate. The stamp and "That blows" sentiment is from Technique Tuesday, called
Fan-tastic. It's been in my stash for a while and never been inked up (whoops!!) - but this is the perfect card for its debut!! The fan is done in white embossing powder with white paint splatter on the background. The "get well" is from MFT's
Label Maker Sentiments stamp set.
Take a peek at the
CAS Colors and Sketches Blog to see what the DT has cooked up this week. Can't wait to see what you create with our double challenge.

Back with another new image from Sandra Caldwell. This one is called #1573 All Ears! You can find this cutie in Sandra's Babycakes Digis and Designs Etsy shop. Take a peek at the FB group to see the DT's cards using the other whimsical images Sandra has drawn this week.
Fiona has chosen some sweet colors for this week's challenge! I love using my colored pencils on colored cardstock, so Sahara Sand is my background. Using white embossing powder, just the flowers and berries from the stamp, Floral Frame by Avery Elle are highlighted with color. A little white colored pencil is added to the leaves. Three clear sequins and a border of white and Sweet Sugarplum complete this card, which is going to my mom for Mother's Day. You can see a different version of this stamp with colored pencils on Crumb Cake background here. 
Challenge Up Your Life #66 - Flowers
This week is a sketch challenge for the the CAS Colours and Sketches Blog this week and Karen is our designer.
Back with another Sandra Caldwell image from the Babycakes Designs and Digis Etsy shop. This one is called #1101 Wormie Apple. May's sketch from Die Cuttin' Divas helped design my card. I tried adding white colored pencil on top of my Copic colored apple to give additional texture. I've seen this technique used at vanillaarts.com and am contemplating taking a class because the idea of combining Copics and colored pencils intrigues me. Pop on over to the Sandra Caldwell Facebook Group and see what else is in this week's release!
Happy May! Samantha is our hostess this week and she has a fun color combination for all of us.
