CASology Challenge - Week # 143 (Take 2)

There is that wonderful phrase 'Two great minds think alike' and boy is that one I use a lot. Well, today its the only thing that comes to mind (along with embarassment) when I do this post.

I really loved the idea of doing an ombre coloured card for the CASology challenge this week. I was staying with my Mum when I saw the Cue Word on a friends blog post. Now, usually before I create a card for this challenge, I go to the blog and look at all the entries (and DT cards) to make sure I'm not repeating someone's idea. Being with my Mum, I just wandered along making my cards and forgot to look at anything.

So....when I was on the CASology blog post, copying the 'cue card', I had a quick look thru the DT cards and saw Tracey's card. This is where that phrase comes to play!!! I'm happy that I had the same idea as Tracey as her card designs are out of this world but now was in the position of do I link this card or not. I decided why not. Hopefully Tracey will be okay with this and it will serve me right for not checking beforehand. Won't be doing that again.....

I used three colours of Distress Ink and water-colour paper to create the ombre colouring. I then die-cut the butterfly from the middle of it. This was glued directly to the card front and then the sentiment stamped in black. Done!

I have six other challenges I would like to enter:

CAS on Sunday Challenge # 57 (White card with one other colour)

Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge (Clean and Simple)

Sugar Pea Designs Challenge # 15 

Uniko Studio Challenge # 20 (Things with Wings)

Inkspirational Challenge # 81  (I have lots of white space)

House of Cards - April Challenge (Add a butterfly &/or Colour Combo)

Since the internet is starting to be a bit picky, I better get this post published and linked before I lose it all again. Wish me luck!!

And my apologies Tracey!!

Take care
