I am really enjoying the CAS challenges over at Splitcoast. This week the challenge was a sketch.
Here is my final go at the challenge. Although I did like the sketch so I will definitely be using it again.
For this card, I used new stamps that I got from Storage Units, Ink & More. I have never used these stamps before but this little St. Patrick's set was adorable so I gave them a go. These are polymer stamps of very good quality. Like most of my good quality polymer stamps, I need to do one initial stamp off on scrap paper and then I get great images. These ran true to form. After that first image to get the ink on the stamp, these inked up very nicely.
The image is colored with various prismacolor and copic markers and the gold has a bit of gold spica pen to make it sparkle. The paper is from Reminisce.
Hope our day is a lovely one. I have more new stamps to show off tomorrow. See you then!
What a great CAS card! Its funny, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the image- before I read the post!

Great image! I'm loving all the different St. Patty's images.

I haven't ventured into the prismas (?) or copics yet - probably a combo of $ and being a little intimidated by the process, but I just love the coloring on this card! My boys have been talking about rainbows (and leprechauns too) so I've had rainbows on my mind...

I just love rainbows, this one is perfect. And who wouldn't want to find the pot at the end of it? If you do find it, you have to split it twenty ways! :)

I need to check out that challenge... I forget it's there... I don't do CAS very well but I'd really like to learn! I need a way to do some quick ones for those big give aways we all do for church or the victims of the brush fires in AU, etc etc... this would be the perfect place for inspiration! Love your new stamp set and love your coloring! The gold is the perfect touch! My pot of gold is all made of rubber!!!LOL!

OK Laura, this is perfect! So, what are the rules for a CAS card? You are inspiring me to try one out.

What a sweet rainbow! I love the simplicity of this, and all that green just yells spring is coming. :D Can't wait to see your other new stamps!

You're right, they are adorable! I have such a hard time with CAS type cards - my ribbons and buttons and primas call to me.......
